Café Momentum, the Market Square restaurant that provides culinary training to justice-impacted youth, relaunched with a new lunch service and a new chef.
Chef Rob “RC” Carter joins as the Cafe’s executive chef. Carter formerly worked at Cioppino Restaurant and Cigar Bar, which closed at the end of last year. Originally from Detroit, Mich., Carter brings expertise in “high-end cuisine, leadership in the kitchen, and commitment to quality dining experiences,” according to a Café Momentum press release.
Chef RC will oversee a new lunch menu offering “refined and approachable” dishes ranging from mac and cheese and Pittsburgh cuisine with “fries n’at” to “elevated entrees” including salmon, duck two ways, and braised short rib. Café Momentum’s new lunch service runs Tues.- Fri. from 11a.m.-2 p.m. Reservations are available through OpenTable.
