Stephen Starr and Bankroll have mutually ended their partnership just days ahead of the upscale restaurant and entertainment venue's debut, reports the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The parties split due to a "difference in philosophy," according to a joint statement released Thursday. Starr Restaurants will no longer be involved in the management, PBJ.com reports, operations or creative oversight of the $25 million Center City project's food and beverage program.
