Table for Two
Did you know that the quickest route to a companion’s bed is through her stomach? Well, it’s the quickest route to mine anyways! Allow me to provide a roadmap to the pleasure before (or after) the pleasure via a selection of both my favorite and most desired culinary experiences in Philadelphia.
salvatore’s corner
Seeking an express ticket to the top of my favorites list? Salvatore’s Corner is the Irwin’s version of a chef’s tasting menu. And if you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’m a total sucker for both of those things.

How many times will Jesse be nominated for a Beard Award before they hand it over! It’s safe to say that an omakase reservation is not going to get MORE accessible in the near future!
at the table
A rookie on my list, At the Table in Wayne caught my attention when I heard about it three times in the course of three days this past weekend. What’s all the buzz about? I’ve gotta know.
brunch at lacroix
OH YESSSSSSS! Lacroix’s infamous open kitchen brunch buffet has returned. Need I say any more??
chef’s table at ambra
One of Eater’s 38 Essential Restaurants in Philadelphia, Ambra is perfect for those of us who love Italian food, thrive in the chaos of the kitchen, and find scoring a difficult reservation to be a near-orgasmic experience in and of itself. That’s definitely me — is it you too?
enswell
Morning, noon, or night, I’m always happy to meet you at Enswell for a sip and a snack, be that a latte and a croissant or an extra dirty gin martini.
river twice
Do you like surprises? I love them. River Twice changes their tasting menu daily, so let’s take a chance and be surprised.
