I'll be back


Hey foodies,

Unfortunately I've been down-and-out for the past few days and won't have a new post until Thursday or Friday. But, please, come back. I have so much to share!

Chifa, Jose Garces's new Peruvian-Cantonese eatery at 7th and Chestnut streets in Philly, was an amazing experience - oh, those pisco sours! oh, the pork belly buns! - and Zahav, modern Israeli off Dock Street (just off Walnut between 2nd and 3rd streets) in Old City, which we stopped into for a few more nibbles, more than lived up to the hype.

(We got extra special treatment at Zahav after one of my pals, who speaks Turkish, enchanted some staffers from Istanbul.)

Both are MUST visit eateries. Well worth the drive to Philadelphia. More is coming.


In the meantime, nosh on my Diner's Digest column. The Aloha Dark Chocolate Bark (see photo above) available at Moore Brothers Wine Company in Trolley Square is terrific.
