Philly Food and Drink Aficionados
Hi All!
Thanks to Marilyn for finding me on Philly blog and inviting me.
I'm new to Philly, so no I'm mostly homeless right now (staying with a friend until i finish buying a house). I was excited when Open Table sent me an email informing me of Restaurant week in center city. My last week in Baltimore I got to enjoy restaurant week there, and I look forward to checking out some philly favorites.

Welcome Toxigal! I'm really looking forward to Restaurant Week. If people wish to plan more than one restaurant meetup, they are free to. I may only be able to afford one - unless I suddenly find myself employed tomorrow LOL. Anyways, glad to see you here. I think you'll find Philly to be a tasty town. :)

SIP: Kosher wines uncork their premium side
Vintner Ernie Weir wants to make one thing perfectly clear. Yes, his wines are kosher. But first and foremost, they are award-winning Napa Valley wines.Fond
On the off chance you've been wondering about all this fuss over pork belly - the suddenly u-pig-uitous staple in Philly kitchens that has been slow-braised, red-cooked, deconstructed into nuevo "al pastor," tossed in salad dressing, folded into bao buns, tucked into raviolis, tea-smoked, or dry-cured into fancy burger bacon - may I recommend putting Fond on your speed dial.Fond

The Bell Key Superior: Rare; sets fine-dining standards. Excellent: Excels in every category of the dining experience. Very Good: Interesting, with above-average food.Texas BBQ, come to Phila.
South Street, even on the tamer blocks west of Sixth, won't ever be confused with the actual South.
