Episode 59: The 50 Best Restaurants in a City of Pop-Ups (plus a Gift Card GIVEAWAY!)
Manage episode 399365903 series 3373718
Philadelphia Magazine’s annual list of 50 Best Restaurants always sparks controversy in our food scene. Who’s in? Who’s out? What does “best” mean, anyway? We discuss it all in a riveting conversation with Philly Mag’s food editor, Kae Lani Palmisano. We've also got new music from our friends in Snacktime, AND something for you, loyal listener, to potentially win!
Plus This!
- Eli brings his homegrown “rooftop juice” to share with the crew. It’s fire!
- Our friend and self-described “food history nerd” Kae Lani impresses all of us with her ability to expertly balance so many projects at once: writing, editing, hosting, scoping out all the best dishes in Philly, AND she just became a mama last year!
- We dive into the 50 Best Restaurants list and ask about the process of narrowing the list down when there are so many heritage and contemporary spots to choose from. Kae Lani explains the new bonus categories this year, including markets and pop-ups.
- We debate what the word “best” means to us. Is it consistency? Creativity? Commitment? Or perhaps a combination of that and more?
- Best Bites: Marisa and Kae Lani describe two unique experiences at the same restaurant, Dave eats a pig’s face and Eli sheds some light on an underrated Mexican dish.
- GIVEAWAY TIME! Listen to find out how you can win a $100 gift card to a spot we talk about on Delicious City all the time! Hint: You’ll need to follow @deliciouscitypodcast on Instagram to be in the running.
- Food News: So. Many. Pop-ups. Thanks to Delicious City's bff Sharon for giving us the scoop. There’s something to eat almost every night of the week with this big list of unique dining experiences.
- NEW MUSIC! Hear the new track “Together” from our friends at Snacktime, and then go add it to your playlist on your favorite music streaming app.
