Like the Foolish Waffles truck, I stalked the Surf and Turf truck to finally find a location that worked for me. This truck has a small menu with a few novel takes on the lobster, plus steak or other seafood sandwiches, depending on the day.

My friend Earl just posted this picture that we should all get excited about.
Bonchon chicken is one of the first and biggest Korean Fried Chicken chains, though not all of their locations are equally fabulous in my opinion. However, this is still going to be a big win for Philly. Besides Cafe Soho, which is super far, we don’t have many options, though I do like the versions at Rice and Mix and Koreana.
The Bonchon Facebook page gives us some information, like the address (1020 Cherry Street), but no opening date yet.
When Spice End first opened, I ran over to check out the kati rolls and was pretty pleased, especially by the lamb kebab. On my revisit, almost exactly a year later, I intended to try a Spice End platter. However, the new 1 year anniversary lunchbox caught my eye- a kati roll and biryani for $7.50. It is available Monday-Friday, during lunch.

Chinese food west of Broad street is usually a bad idea. Although I was pretty skeptical of Jane G’s, the new lunch combos looked somewhat decent and was a closer walk compared to Chinatown.
