F&W Selects Philly's Best

POSTED: Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 5:11 PM

Food & Wine magazine has gone on the record with their picks for Philadelphia’s best restaurants, and while local scenesters might not find many surprises, we always love to see the national press taking note. As you could probably guess, they found plenty to crow about. There are the expected (and deserving) entries from Philly’s biggest names—Garces and Solomonov each fill two slots; Starr and Vetri snag three apiece—but F&W didn’t miss giving the nod to some chefs that are household names only to locals: Barbuzzo, Ela, Fond, Bibou, a.kitchen, and Southwark all snagged spots on the list. A few more casual stalwarts made the list too, like Monk’s, Di Bruno Bros., and Jim’s Steaks.

And of course, there are plenty of names absent from the list for those of us in the know to shriek about, but that’s half the fun of these lists in the first place. (Go ahead and let it all out by nominating some in the comments section if it makes you feel better!) And if you click through to their full Philadelphia city guide, you’ll find an interview with Marc Vetri that includes his own list of tourist recommendations, plus recipes from Vetri, Jose Garces, Marcie Turney, and Michael Solomonov.
