Sometimes I am really proud of how gross I am. I noticed that Hershel’s in Reading Terminal offered a knish dog. I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, was it a hot dog poked inside a knish? A hot dog wrapped in a knish? I had to know.
Then I saw the hunks of glistening meat on the cutting boards. I wanted it all.

Today, our Profiled Luncher from yesterday, JR, is checking out Jar Bar.
What I am about to tell you may well trigger your Mr. Yuck face: This review is for a vegan restaurant where nothing is heated above above 118 degrees. It’s raw food. And by raw, I don’t mean edgy. I’m talking uncooked sweet potatoes thinly sliced into “noodles.” Poseur pasta.
But try and keep an open mind! This restaurant actually brings something new and refreshing to Philly, albeit with uneven quality and expensive prices.

As we try to do at Philly Lunch, every Tuesday we turn over the site to a different lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Philadelphia. This week it’s JR a writer looking for the perfect pretzel.
Name: Jr
Age: 35
Occupation: A Writer and Editor
Where in Philly do you Work?: In the shadow of City Hall
Favorite Kind of Food: Authentic ethnic foods served in a totally charmless atmosphere. Paper plates? Indirect sunlight? Minimal English spoken? Now we’re talking.
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Blue cheese. Even just a whiff makes me gag.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Philly: Vietnamese grilled pork and vermicelli at Nam Phuong is a weekend staple. Recently I’ve been enjoying the who-knew-they-made-sandwiches at Capogiro. The BLT. Mmmm.

I visited Blue Belly Bbq a little while back and enjoyed the food I was served. Immediately after, the whole twitter/yelp incident went down and I was hesitant to write about it until the air cleared. But it seems apologies were made and I am ok talking just about what I ate there.
Platters are around $15 dollars each and come with 3 sides. Sandwiches are a few dollars less. For my first visit, I went all out, sticking with the platters.
