Where I Go Out

Fried PB&J

South Philadelphia Tap Room

$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Breakfast, Modern, Pub, Gastropub, Newbold

"This is the perfect way to end a meal, although I often start my meal with it at this busy downtown gastropub. It's exactly what it sounds like: a deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Need I say more?"

$$$$, Japanese, Modern, Full Bar, Sushi, Chelsea

"Seafood toban yaki at Morimoto was delicious. The buttery rich broth was the wonder here complimenting the roasted mushrooms and great selection of Alaskan king crab, manila clams, and head on prawns."

Stuffed eggplant with shrimp and pork

Sang Kee Asian Bistro

$$, Asian, Chinese,

"The great combination of shrimp and pork in a black bean sauce always hits the spot!"

$, Café, Coffee Shop, Newbold

"Ultimo raised the bar for coffee in Philadelphia and made a loyalist out of me."

$, Bakery, Lower Moyamensing

"If you like a cannoli every now and then, you'll love the Dannoli much more often!"

$$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Happy Hour, Tapas, Spanish, Center City East

"This lobster paella can feed several hungry diners at Jose Garces' flagship restaurant Amada, but it's too good not to try to finish on your own. I love the sides of fava bean salad and smoked-paprika aioli."

Cabot Clothbound Cheddar

Di Bruno Bros.

Outdoor Seating, Breakfast, Italian, Café, Gourmet, Center City

"Walking in this place is like walking through an artisanal food catalogue. It's easy to get sidetracked by the amazing olives, olive oils, and everything else, but I head straight to the cheese selection and start tasting. Di Bruno’s has hundreds of different cheeses, but the one I always seek out is Cabot Clothbound cheddar. It’s the best cheddar, earthy and toasty with really great caramel flavors. It makes any sandwich ten times better."

La Fia Bistro & Market, Hearth Kitchen

DB cheese spread-Abruzze

Di Bruno Bros.

Outdoor Seating, Breakfast, Italian, Café, Gourmet, Center City

"Di Bruno's has a whole line of cheese spreads, but this is the best. I love the spiciness and creaminess of the cheese. It's just perfect on some freshly baked bread or to spice up a simple sandwich. I once put it on cornbread, which seems like an odd combination, but it was out of this world."
