A few years ago, Luncher Zoe wrote about the char broiled meat sandwiches at Nick’s Charcoal Pit in South Philly by the Snyder Station. While in the area looking for a restaurant that I found out had closed, I saw the Nick’s sign, remembered her report, and came up with my plan B.

Khmer Sweet Basil is a 6 month old Cambodian and Beer take out spot (with a pretty decent beer election). A combo that would only fit in South Philly. The small amount of seating required a take out order, but the real issue was the insanely long wait for our order. We were told everything is made fresh as we waited. Most customers stopping in were looking for beer. Maybe the kitchen wasn’t ready for food seeking customers? Read more »

Unfortunately, I find myself assuming restaurants on Market Street in Old City are guilty (of being lame) before proven innocent. Something about the cheesiness of being ushered in along with a few underwhelming experiences. Silence Dogood opened on Market Street in April without much fanfare/press and I was of course, skeptical. The pub is also associated with the Big Red Pedal Tours- that bike powered roving bar that I have never known anyone to use. But while ordering a flew of flat breads for my group, I was told they make their own ricotta and my hope rose like dough.
The owner of the Pbon’s truck opened up a small food establishment this year on Pine street where Mexico on the Square used to be. There is one small table inside and a few on the corner, so this is mostly a take out operation. We were able to grab a table. Having essentially two menu items, waffles and potato wedges, might seem to make ordering easy- but the toppings are endless so you might want to come with a game plan. I wanted to make sure I made the perfect order.
