Help our reader pick a fun-for-all Philly restaurant
Filed Under: We're Here to Help
Received this very specific inquiry from a Meal Ticket reader:
I've got four friends coming to town this weekend: one eat-anything Southerner, two vegetarians who'll eat fish and one gluten-free pig-lover (as in, she worked on a pig rescue farm one summer and now won't even go near bacon). I want to show off Philly and take them somewhere fun, but I don't want their food restrictions to be an issue/burden. Suggestions?Tough! Some immediate thoughts from us: Kanella, Pumpkin, Mémé and JG Domestic. While all of these restaurants (in our experience at least) are porcine proponents, 1) there are typically great seafood options at each; 2) gluten-free shouldn't be hard to accommodate/order around; and 3) the eat-anything Southern friend will be able to get down on some hellishly good cheffish specialties at each (Mémé's marrow! JG's pork belly and wile boar! Oops sorry pig lover.) Who do y'all have? Let us know in the comments.
Bar at Fish sounds like a good fit, too. Kraftwork comes to mind for something more casual, lots of good veggies, and Barbuzzo fit the bill for somewhere in between.
Oh man, i'd say Zahav. Great for vegetarians (and have fish). Prob something new to try for the southerner, and plenty of gluten free stuff.

meritage!
Royal Tavern?
You can't get a res at Kanella, dunno about the others. I like Royal Tavern or South Philly Taproom for this kind of thing, but maybe they want someplace a little nicer. Zahav is a good rec for more upscale.
I also say fish and I'll add 10 arts with a gluten-free pastry chef. she'll understand.
