Loved it. Best of the gastro pubs I've been to (since the deline of Ugly American).
Come on down! You're in the neighborhood now.
I tried O the other day. I know it flies in the face of all the reviews, but I prefer Ba Le.
Ba Le Bakery & Restaurant
606 Washington Ave., 215-389-4350
I am not claiming it is the best, but it is the one I visit most often because it is on my "route." They offer a huge variety. I have not tied them all yet, but I prefer to choose from the…
There are many sources for banh mi in South Philly. Tell us the good & bad of the locations and varieties you have tried.
City Paper's Top 5 banh mi
Ah... just like Mom used to make! Served over egg noodles with butter and parsley. Heaven.
I don't know if it is traditional but in my family you needed to have equal parts mushrooms as beef. Any dish is better with mushrooms, except dessert.
I guess it depends on how far away the next place was. Not more than 15 minutes beyond the 20?

- Not sure if they'll play it on-air. That would be cool and would drive a lot more people to sign up. It was a lot of fun either way and I'm really looking forward to actually being back in the city again!

What's on at Headhouse farmers market
We are in the waning days of Summer here in the Delaware Valley and early fall produce is appearing while hot weather items still abound.
The variety of tomatoes is overwhelming. I picked up a quart of mixed small tomatoes in various sizes and colors. Peppers in every color from pale yellow to deep purple. I chose a red and an orange ones. Pole limas are starting, the zukes are beautiful, and dinosaur kale appeared for th… Continue

Always looking for deals at expensive restaurants
I'm alway looking for opportunities to try restaurants that are normally out side of my budget. You can count on me to post the special offers I learn about. Send me any you learn about, too.

But Of Course We Remember Mama’s Chruscik — How Could We Ever Forget?
Chruscik — alternately known as chrusciki — is a Polish treat of fried dough dusted with powdered sugar, and while it has traditionally appeared at weddings and other occasions, here in Philly, chrusciki always seems to be around at Christmas. Some folks hate it, decrying it as a the funnel cake of Eastern Europe while [...]Philly.com Dining
Joe Sixpack: Celebrate Christmas with a spiced brew
IT WOULDN'T be Christmas without spiced beer. Yes, I know, Christmas beer is a tradition, not a style, so the holidays are celebrated with many types of ales and lagers, many of them unspiced. Belgian Christmas beers are typically malty, abbey-style ales; the classic Scandinavian Christmas beer is a bock; and one of the American originals, Sierra Nevada Celebration, is a hop monster.Parker's Prime
The Somboonsong family's rapidly growing suburban restaurant group (Teikoku; Azie) has jumped into the steak craze with this Asian-accented chophouse in Newtown Square's former Roux 3. The sleek dining room, good ingredients, and expansive wine list are promising. But the menu is unimaginative considering the fusion possibilities, and the steaks are inconsistently cooked. Given the high-end prices, the service ranged from amateurish to offensive.Festive, quick-hit fare for the final shopping surge
All the smug, organized people have their presents wrapped and are warming their feet by the fireside, but for us procrastinators it is the seven-day countdown of terror.Phila. restaurateurs open new places, defying the recession
Reduced rents, investors looking to park cash, and a dose of good old-fashioned optimism are fueling a surprising string of new restaurants here, despite the recession's battering.Nachos redux

Sandwich Bites: DIY Big Mac, Candy Cane Cookies, Ice Cream Furniture, Burger Gifts
• This might be a gourmet spin on the Big Mac, but the goal was for it to taste as much like the legendary fast food, while using extremely superior ingredients. [Local Lemons via Lifehacker] • Just in time for the holidays, Rachel Rappaport busts out these delectable morsels. They’re like candy cane stuffed Oreos, but [...]The Illustrious McDonald’s McRib
What is it about the McRib that has elevated it to a sandwich with a cult following? The media has been ablaze with excitement around the return of the sandwich in certain markets, and sightings are tracked on the McRib Locator. For those not in the know, or whom stray away from the sight of [...]Smoked Meat Sandwiches Coming To Brooklyn
Jewish delicatessen in Montreal is a spectacle to behold. Smoked meat is the cornerstone of it all; it’s not really corned beef, nor pastrami, but rather the ultimate combination of the two. First sold by the almost mythical Lesters Foods and Schwartz Hebrew Delicatessen, smoked meat sandwiches still attract hordes of locals and tourists alike [...]Sandwich Pride Of Norristown: The Zep
What is a zep? The sandwich has been a regional favorite since the 1940’s, but a large amount of Philadelphia-area residents surprisingly have never heard of it before. Though the sandwiches true origins are up to speculation, all signs point to the name coming directly from the Hindenburg zeppelin. Made with only one meat, provolone [...]Man V. Food Battles New Brunswick Sandwiches Tonight
Travel Channel’s Man v. Food is a show that we know we shouldn’t love, but do. Adam Richman has a knack for hitting some of the tastiest morsels all around the country, and by the end of the episode we find ourselves cheering him on as he attacks the local food challenge. Tonight, Richman hits New [...]© 2009 Created by Marilyn on Ning. Create a Ning Network!
