Gass & Main, is a new American BYO by Chef Dane DeMarco, serving seasonal dishes focusing on local and sustainable ingredients with rotating menus for lunch, dinner, and brunch. It will take over 7 Kings Court, home of the recently closed Valente’s Cucina.
Chef Dane DeMarco started their cooking career in South Jersey pizza shops which then took them to create flavorful dishes for Philadelphia restaurants, including American Sardine Bar, South Philly Taproom, and Sonny’s Cocktail Joint.
Chef Dane then returned “home” to South Jersey, opening Burgertime to serve over-the-top burgers and dogs to their community. After a year of slingin’ the fun in the bun, Chef is opening Gass & Main as a casual bistro modernizing American classics with regional influences.
Gass & Main gets its name from the cross streets where Chef Dane and their wife met their wedding party before they tied the knot in Las Vegas.
The vibe includes antique American farm tools handpicked from the wall of Dane’s childhood home.
ETA is January 2023. Stay tuned!
