Beginning on Tuesday, May 22nd, traditional “Happy Hour” gets the Chef Jason Cichonski treatment at his innovative American bar & restaurant, Ela, 627 South 3rd Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Famous for his boundary-pushing cuisine, Chef Cichonski is doing happy hour his way… Unlike most restaurants, where early evening specials are relegated to weekdays, Ela will offer happy hour every Sunday, as well as Tuesday – Friday,5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. During this happy hour time only, guests will enjoy an inspired menu of dishes, as well as affordable drink specials.
Rotating drink specials will include: $3.00 Draught Beer, beginning with the local favorite, Troeg’s Sunshine Pils; $5.00 Wines, with a daily-changing white and red available; and $6.00 Daily Cocktail Specials, such as Daisy: Hendrick’s gin, ruby, cucumbers, and lemon; as well as Last Chance to Lose Your Keys: tequila, rosemary, Kaffir lime, St. Germaine, and citruses.
Chef Cichonski’s happy hour menu will change frequently to reflect his latest inspirations. Dishes may include: A house-cured Pickle Plate with everything from cauliflower florets to butter radishes preserved in-house and served with house-dried jerky; Bacon-Preserved Sardines marinated with grilled onions, honey, and sherry vinegar, then lightly grilled and served in mason jars; Puffed Oyster Cracklins with “Old Bayo,” crunchy dehydrated-and-fried oysters of Old Bay mayonnaise; Crispy Chicken “Chomps,” pieces of marinated chicken thighs breaded with spices and fried; Tots His Way, hand-rolled potato gnocchi that are breaded and fried, then served alongside a house-made hot sauce; and Soy-Bourbon Burger, a nine-ounce house-ground sirloin patty with bourbon- and soy-glazed mushrooms, aged Cabot cheddar, smoked pickles, and a house-baked black sesame bun.
Ela is a serious-yet-comfortable restaurant with a menu that changes frequently throughout the year to reflect the season’s finest ingredients and Chef Cichonski’s creative and artful presentations.
As noted above, Ela’s happy hour will be available every Sunday and Tuesday – Friday from5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Dinner is served Tuesday – Thursday from5:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday until11:00 p.m.; and Sunday until10:00 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Monday.
