Philadelphia Magazine is reporting that Jose Garces will be taking over Letto Deli (yes, the location once reportedly going to Stephen Starr) and will be turning it into a beer and brats spot.

We love the idea of make your own brat combos with choice of sausage, bun, toppings, sauces and mustards. Not to mention there’s something very cool about that slanted-roof building. Just do us one favor Jose, make it affordable.

The Kleinsider has a couple of tidbits on Stephen Starr happenings. Starr’s purchase of the Broad Street Diner is still uncertain (environmental issues) and the Letto Deli concept is dead as the space was just too small for Starr. Have a concept for the  still operating deli? Check its listing on Craigslist.
