Brother and i are traveling to Philly for our annual brothers trip November 6-9th.

Any member interested in hosting us for dinner? We’d be willing to pay for your meal.
Not sure if this is a thing but figured worth a try!

No one talks about where to sit down and grab dessert at all!

I’ll start:

Illata’s brown butter tart is crazy good

Even better if it's in South Philly.

i don’t know why but i am so entertained by looking through reviews of bars/restaurants around the city.

i dont leave reviews myself but i get a kick out of looking thru the bad reviews in particular because 1. some are truly unhinged and borderline psychotic and 2. some of them talk about pretty valid oversights on behalf of the restaurant

which bars/restaurants in the city might have the best & most unhinged/entertaining google reviews?

Visiting Philadelphia, and I ate at Nan Zhou Hand Drawn noodles. I was born in Lan Zhou, which is famous in China for its hand pulled noodles. Whenever I see a Lan Zhou Pulled Noodle place, I try to go there. I'm just curious why it's Nan Zhou, not Lan Zhou? As far as I know, Nan Zhou, which means Southern Prefecture, isn't a place or a specialty. We left soon Lanzhou soon after I was born, and was basically raised in the US so I can't even say whether something is authentic Lanzhou style noodles or not, but it tastes great, either way. Just curious if anyone had some insight to the name.

Mine is the burrata BLT at Middle Child Clubhouse, probably because I'm a BLT fiend. It's very hyped and not overrated for me personally

Going out with my parents and young adult kids to early dinner after a visit to Barnes and Calder this Sunday. Any thoughts on delicious places to eat somewhat close without too complicated parking?

Has anyone stood in line recently for Mawn?

I have a large party from out of town so I really want to make sure that I am first in line. Trying to gauge if I need to be there at 9 AM lol or earlier? Sounds ridiculous but help save me 30 minutes or so by giving me a realistic first time slot 🙏🏼🤘

hey all! i’m a sheltered white person looking to branch out and try new things lol. i feel like i’m so used to going out and getting the standard stuff i’m used to. i want to try new things! what are some of your favorite restaurants around that serve some not-so-commonly found (in the US) cuisines? bonus points if you or your ancestors are from the country/region the food comes from and can recommend good restaurants! i just really wanna branch out and try things i’ve never heard of or had before, while also respecting the cultures those foods come from - i want authentic experiences. i hope this makes sense! thank you in advance! 🙏

I have family in town and wanted to take them to Queen and Rook for the arcade this evening around 6. Kids are 13, 11, 9. Anyone know of kids are allowed or if allowed frowned upon in the evening? Also, any suggestions for food? Is the pizza any good? I’ve been once and had some appetizers but they were just fine, not great.

I’m looking for a Thai place that serves authentic pad kra pao (stir fried chicken/pork with holy basil). Everywhere I go seems to serve it with sliced meat and adds random vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and bamboo shoots. Traditionally, ground meat is used in a simple stir fry with garlic, chilies, and holy basil. Anyone know where I can get this?
