WaPo's got big love for small Philly restaurants

Barbara Johnston for the Washington Post

We are gonna need more shelving soon, Philly, because the accolades just keep piling up. First we snag a handful of James Beard nominations, and now the Washington Post is giving us due props. Check out the flattery served up by WaPo food critic Tom Sietsema about our "casual but conscientious neighborhood spots.” In the article, he gushes about the finger-lickin' fried chicken at Mémé (above), Koo Zee Doo's rustic Portuguese dishes, like caldo verde and shrimp piri piri, and Fond, whose minimalistic interior doesn't convey the intricacies and innovations found in his dishes, including a foie gras/duck stock/Madeira soup with a caramelized onion and date dumpling. Represent.
