We met today with Matthew Duffin, the general manager of Pudge’s in Blue Bell. He will also be the general manager of the location that Pudge’s is opening in the 401 Diner/Nirvana space in Conshohocken in early July. Here is what we learned (some was reported before, some is new info):

• We saw a draft of a breakfast menu and it is a classic breakfast menu with a few signature items (think cheesesteak and eggs)

• The initial hours will be 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. They will eventually consider longer hours on the weekend
