Then they welcome George Murkowicz of 1906 in Longwood Gardens, who brings some amazing osetra caviar from Caviar XS and make-your-own Wagyu hand rolls to spoil the cohosts. Chef George talks about acclimating to Philadelphia, the fresh ingredients he uses in his dishes at the Garden, and everyone shouts out their Best Bite of the week.

Darnel's Cakes is a Philadelphia bake shop powered by a mission: to raise awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and support local organizations who are working to fight the virus, disease, and stigmas attached. Chef Kyle Cuffie-Scott tells Delicious City how the cafe was born from tragedy after the loss of his cousin Darnel gave him a new purpose.

It's a Super Bowl bound podcast where we can't help but get a little giddy, and our guest today had to seek out a sports bar in Costa Rica just to see the game! But, as you'll hear, it couldn't have turned out any better for her. Even though it's hard to focus on food right now with Eagles mania, somehow we managed to do it. It's called commitment, people!

So, between food and Eagles talk, we dig deep into the genesis of one of the coolest Philadelphia stories you'll ever hear of destiny intervening in someone's life and putting them on a path of passion and purpose, and how Farmer Jawn's founder, Christa Barfield, found her love for farming after she burned out from her career and booked a trip to Martinique on a whim.

Meet Rachel and Phila Lorn, the South Philly born and bread owners of MAWN, the new Cambodian Noodle Bar. They are both products of the Philadelphia food service industry, it's also where their love story began. This restaurant has been a dream of theirs for years, and it looks like we're just weeks away from opening.

One of Philly's "hottest" food experiences inspired flavors on the menu. The Southeast Asian Market was a staple in Phila's youth, way before the internet found out about it. If you were blown away the first time you saw it, imagine not seeing it for a decade or so and then returning in 2022 to see how it's grown. That's what happened when Rachel and Phila brought his Cambodian parents by last year.

What's the correlation between opening a restaurant and having a baby – why does it happen at the same time for so many chefs?

The best bites come from a Delicious City regular (*cough Randy Rucker cough*), a sandwich shop new to Eli that he finally visited, and a highly anticipated wine and pasta bar. P.S. Marisa has tips for getting in without a reservation.

Great stories fill up Food News with Eagles themed snacks, a couple of openings, and a couple of retirements.

Sticking with the "It's A Philly Thing" theme, we play What The Yelp, where Eli reads Yelp reviews and the rest of the crew has to guess which restaurant is being talked about.

And if you're still reading, then you'll learn that this podcast includes instructions on how to win tickets to Delicious City's almost sold-out Supper Club. Tune in for the full details.

Enjoy the latest episode and HAPPY EATING!

Philly Mag's 50 Best Restaurants issue has arrived. Love it or hate it, the list serves as a pretty good resource for finding the top spots in the city, so naturally, we kickoff the show with a blind test, quizzing each other on how many we've been to.

The real surprise comes later in the show when a few of the random spots we mention as our favorites pop up in the Top 50. It's nice to see how Philly Mag mixed a few gems into the list and really blew our minds.

Speaking of blowing minds, today's guest is really good at that. Dave Wez, known in the metaverse as @FeedingTimeTV, has a high energy, adventurous, relatable, and very funny food enthusiast IG account that started as a fun cooking show and then turned into a series of videos showing off all the bars and restaurants that Dave himself wants you to discover.

Follow for his South Fellini wardrobe, stay for his instantly loveable Korean + Japanese + Polish + Italian personality.  

In Best Bites," Eli found his perfect swordfish filet in South Philly. Dave is bringing back the crab rangoon, and Marisa discovered the ideal cheese plate.

Back to the 50 Best Restaurants Congrats to Her Place Supper Club! Geez, we want to say that 2022 is your year, but it looks like 2023 is going to top that! We go over the top 10, or 13, or so. This list is kind of like our Super Bowl.

Food news brings the demise of Streeteries, conveyor belt sushi, a deep South Philly fresh pasta joint, a baby ban, and… updates to Delicious City Supper Club. It sold out – quickly – so we added a second seating. That's not all; we have a charity partner, Share Food Program. Executive Director, George Matysik, dropped by to enlighten us about this wonderful organization helping people across the region.

Oh, and Eli might go vegan? We'll see.

This episode is stacked with Best Bites, and even though we ran into a technical glitch when recording this episode, but it's not stopping us from running down our favorite Philly eats in delicious detail. Eli and Dave welcome Justine from Vincent Giordano Corporation Deli Products to the studio - they're feeding the beast that is Hoagie Throwdown, and you better get your tickets before they're gone at DeliciousCityPodcast.com! Plus she gives us an inside look at working with hoagie heavyweights like Wawa and Jersey Mike's.

• 00:00 Viral video of a car hitting a restaurant
• 04:11 Justine Giordano talks deli conventions, surfing, art and more
• 23:18 Hoagie Throwdown is on September 7th!
• 29:39 Best Bites, and the greatest Chicken Milanese Dave's ever had
• 52:19 The Dish: Lots left to eat in August around Philly

New year's resolutions aren't easy to commit to, so we're going to make it easy for you: commit to subscribing to the Delicious City Podcast, following us on Instagram & recommending us to three friends. It's simple, it'll make you feel great and there are no hidden fees.

Thank you to Ice Sculpture Philly for sponsoring the latest episode. They created the stunning centerpieces for the first Chef Radio + Delicious City Christmas Party.

On today's episode, we chat about our resolutions for 2023 (or lack thereof!), bumping into old friends on the street, we meet Eli's mom and learn about his top-secret Washington DC family.

A recap of the podcast holiday party comes with behind the scenes stories about Randy Rucker's crab dip and Michael Ferrari's caponata. Plus a collab between Huda and longtime DC supporters, Honeygrow. PA wines from WayVine you must try. Cheeses from Perrystead Dairy. We learn about Milk Tubes from Human Robot. And local cocktails from Dad's Hat, Boardroom Spirits, Revivalists Gin, Kiki Vodka, New Liberty Distilling, and Five Saints Distilling. Plus Good Water, a new comer to the scene that you should know about.  

Best Bites come from one of the multiple "7 Feasts" that happened over the holidays and Honeysuckle Provisions, an easy favorite. But what's a year end episode without recapping a few highlights from 2022? Remember the Locally Grown Food & Music Series at Liberty Point? How about the year-long obsession with Cantina La Martina (have YOU been yet?!) Her Place. Fiorella. Waiting for new taco joints?! 2022 gave us a lot. The Phillies almost gave us a World Series and the Union almost brought home an MLS Championship. Neither did, and that's okay. But did the extra months of unexpected sports ruin Christmas? We discuss.  

We also share the official details about the Delicious City Supper Club. Tickets are available NOW. You'll have to listen to find out where and when it's happening – or you can cheat and find the link in our Instagram profile to secure your tickets before they're gone.

We have a huge announcement about the Philadelphia "Home Grown" Food and Music series that Delicious City is throwing in partnership with FCM Hospitality and that will be going on every Tuesday throughout the summer.

While both Eli and Sarah did a ton of eating at The James Beard Awards in Chicago this past week, there's literally nothing like some good old Philly homegrown delicious eats. Sure, other cities might have more restaurants, bigger restaurants, and maybe even some fancier restaurants, but the food being cooked here in Philadelphia is exciting like no other city can match!

Welp, we've done it again! Another episode of food, fun, and a really great guest who has quite the story to tell about his father's legacy and how his dad's South Street BBQ spot meant the world to the community.

Philadelphia's dining scene continues to impress with an immense variety of cuisines and flavors, and we're the lucky ones to get to talk about them. This episode just may contain the best Best Bites we've talked about so far.

We wrap up with a brand new trivia game called "Name That Joint," where you have to identify the iconic Philly restaurant with as few clues as possible.
