Loved it. Best of the gastro pubs I've been to (since the deline of Ugly American).

Well, I can tell you a bit about those Brazilian cakes. Kim9my coworker whose brother is married to one, Celia) said they are digusting. She said there are raisens, and undistiguisable cream that is not sweet, "fruit consistancy" undistinguisable things, etc. She is Italian. And is a somewhat groad eater.
I would split one piece.

Unbelievable....again!

I need to take a moment and rave about the brunch at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse. My first visit was back in February for a friend's Bday. I was skeptical, only because the entire world was raving about it. I was expecting an over-priced, stuffy, snobby and pretentious place. (You may be wondering why i even went) I told my 2 friends "No Jeans." One friend is a chef in Kennett and the other is an editor who works out of her home. Showering is not a daily thing with them, and they are usually wear… Continue

CasiNotes: Borgata serving up celeb chefs

IT HAS to be a foodie's ultimate fantasy: Getting up-close-and-personal with a slew of superstar chefs while sampling some of their dishes.

Newspaper collects 420,000+ lbs. of food

Brian Tierney, chief executive officer of Philadelphia Media Holdings, flanked by several boxes overflowing with food, announced yesterday that more than 420,000 pounds of food had been collected for Philabundance and the Food Bank of South Jersey.

Joe Sixpack: Beer cocktails: Could it be?

WHETHER it's the result of genetic imprinting or intelligent design, instinct compels me to avoid - at all costs - the menace known as beer cocktails. I'm inflexible on this: Mixing beer and anything else in a glass is physically risky and probably morally wrong.

Good Taste

It's been a long time coming for Snackbar, but this ever-adventurous corner for avant-garde eats off Rittenhouse Square has finally found the happy medium between innovation and accessibility. Gone are the cumbersome lounge seats in favor of actual tables. Gone are the overambitious prices, with entrees in a neighborhood-friendly $20-and-under range.

Pots of clay make her day

I don't think I've ever met a clay cooking pot I didn't like . . . or want to own.

Tina Fey: Ambassador Of Sandwiches

Leave it to a Philly girl to show the world what it really means to love sandwiches. Last week, in the critically acclaimed, utterly hilarious 30 Rock, Tina Fey’s character Liz Lemon rattled off the following raison d’etre: All of humankind has one thing in common: the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in [...]

Kobe Burger And Handcut Fries: A Union You Can Trust

Union Trust is one of the most dramatic restaurant spaces in Philadelphia, and their new $7.17 menu is a dramatic deal for budget-conscious diners.  Featuring a kobe beef burger (in addition to other drink and food specials,) Union Trust is making the classic steakhouse burger more affordable and accessible. Chef de Cuisine Chaz Brown’s 8oz kobe [...]

A Banh Mi For Me At Q.T.

When Annie Tran opened Q.T. Vietnamese Sandwich a year ago, she wanted to offer a banh mi that was closer to the authentic sandwiches than anything she could find in South Philadelphia.  And to ensure that the food was true to the traditional, she brought in her mother, whose recipes come directly from cooking at [...]

Happy Birthday, Dear Earl of Sandwich

Today marks the 291st birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. The story goes that this noble fellow was quite the gambler, so much so that he would go on nonstop benders seated at the card table. As one can wield a meal of meat and cheese between bread in one hand, and [...]

The Sandwich Cost Calculator

In light of the economic downturn, many have turned to the most affordable, satisfying and customizable meal: the sandwich. But how much are you really saving by packing a sandwich to bring to work or school? To answer that very question, Rob Cockerham set out on a mission, which eventually turned into a project for [...]
