Very Ambiguous Restaurant To Replace Chili's

While we were spending the last several days furiously grieving over the departure of Chili's, it appears a certain replacement restaurant has made its way to 3801 Chestnut. A "Coming Soon" sign for Tarka, an "authentic asian cuisine" joint, was recently spotted between the walls of our forlorn lunch-spot-to-be. Which begs the question...what the hell is it? Will it perhaps be yet another excuse to spend inordinate amounts of money on food? Or will it thankfully serve as a purveyor of food that doesn't fail safety inspections?

Hard to tell. Tarka's website leaves much to the imagination. But we do know it's the "future home of something quite cool"...or perhaps a place to hang your Hawaiian vacation attire? Looks like Tarka needs to step up its website game before we protest for Chili's miraculous comeback.
