Curious about what will be served at the new BYOB Fond, coming to East Passyunk Avenue at the end of August? As promised, we have a look at the menu. No prices yet, but as owners Lee Styer, Jessie Prawlucki and Tory Keomanivong told us earlier this week, appetizer prices will likely run from $9 to $13 with entrees from $16 to $24. There’s also a look at the desserts, which you should be very interested in - Prawlucki was most recently the executive chef of Le Bec-Fin. Grilled peach pavlova, anyone?
