With the Eagles’ playoff seed locked in and the season’s final game being meaningless, my wife and I took advantage of a free Sunday afternoon to venture out to a pizza and sandwich shop that has been on my radar for a while. Pop’s Pizzeria of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, has been receiving its fair shareContinue reading “Juicy as Jaye P. Morgan”

Checking Out Philly’s Most Acclaimed Pizzeria
It was just a couple months ago that I called the New York-style cheese pizza at Pizzeria Salvy my new favorite pie in Philly. However, at the end of that post I added a proviso pointing out that I needed to try the current location of Pizzeria Beddia before I could be confident of thatContinue reading “Checking Out Philly’s Most Acclaimed Pizzeria”
A Cheesesteak Worthy of the Reading Terminal
In last month’s post about my most recent food excursion to Philadelphia’s famed Reading Terminal Market, I pointed out Uncle Gus’ Steaks, a new cheesesteak stand that I had been previously unaware of. They replaced Carmen’s, a hoagie and steak stand that had previously been in the same spot. Although I’ll miss Carmen’s wonderful ItalianContinue reading “A Cheesesteak Worthy of the Reading Terminal”
Trying an Italian Hoagie Known as the ‘Godfather’
The outing to a highly regarded pizzeria that I alluded to at the end of my last post didn’t come off Saturday as planned. Unfortunately, one of the people I was supposed to meet there was under the weather. That left me needing to hastily come up with a Plan B that I felt confidentContinue reading “Trying an Italian Hoagie Known as the ‘Godfather’”
Philly’s Temple of Culinary Delights
If there is such a thing as a food wonderland in Philadelphia, it is surely the Reading Terminal Market. It’s part farmer’s market; part food court, with multiple produce, baked goods, meat, fish and seafood stands, in addition to purveyors of classic Philly sandwiches, Chinese food, Pennsylvania Dutch delights and an increasing array of ethnicContinue reading “Philly’s Temple of Culinary Delights”
Plan C: Indian Food With a Mango Accent
I’ve posted a couple times on the importance of having a Plan B prepared when venturing out to eat at a restaurant. After the experience my wife and I had this past Friday, I may want to revise that to having a plan B and C. We’ve generally made an art form of not goingContinue reading “Plan C: Indian Food With a Mango Accent”
Our Dim Sum Tradition Lives On in the Suburbs
My wife and I do a lot of our local dining out in Media, Pennsylvania, the seat of Delaware County in the southwestern suburbs of Philadelphia. We sometimes combine dinner with a visit to downtown Media’s Trader Joe’s, and that was the situation Friday evening when we opted for a pre-shopping meal at Tom’s DimContinue reading “Our Dim Sum Tradition Lives On in the Suburbs”
Viva Italia: Dinner and a Concert
Although it’s been a while, I’ve written a handful of posts with a classical music theme. This one is on a combination of music and food, both with an Italian accent. Many of the earliest classical concerts I attended between the mid 80s and early 90s, including the first one in 1985, were led byContinue reading “Viva Italia: Dinner and a Concert”
Long Awaited Return to a Cheesesteak Legend
Only a few of Philadelphia’s steak shops are famous enough to be considered tourist destinations. There are, of course, Pat’s and Geno’s, D’Alessandro’s and John’s Roast Pork. And there is Jim’s, with its iconic exterior and long lines out the door onto South Street – and sometimes around the corner onto Fourth. Although I lovedContinue reading “Long Awaited Return to a Cheesesteak Legend”
A New Favorite Pie in Philly
It was nearly a year ago that I posted about Pizzeria Salvy, one of Philly’s top new pizza purveyors and part of the restaurant empire of Marc Vetri, who has long been the city’s most renowned creator of Italian culinary delights. At that time, Salvy was serving only traditional Neapolitan pies. But Vetri – madContinue reading “A New Favorite Pie in Philly”
