THOM CARDWELL PRESENTS ANOTHER THOM'S TABLE AT THE RUM BAR

(First let me apologize for the delay of these photos, I am in the middle of a home renovation and my computer is in a box. I am currently using a friends computer.) Thom's Table, his new monthly restaurant series, launched Tuesday, Oct. 2, at Rittenhouse's newish Rum Bar, Cardwell will host the dinner with owner and self-described "rum sommelier" Adam Kanter, whose passion for the sugarcane-based spirit inspired a five-course tasting menu that pairs a selection of fine rums with everything from Caribbean hearts of palm to pan-seared filet tips.
