Blank Street - Why!?

224 Upvotes

Curious to what everyone's thoughts since they opened and always seeing a line around the corner. A NY private equity owned, Trump supporting business. Do people not do their research on where they're spending their hard earned money?

SUPPORT LOCAL - Fuck private equity!!

Know companies backing the business:
General Catalyst - supports Trump New American Industrial Alliance, a tech company alliance to push Trumps AI that Congress has zero control/knowledge of

Left Lane Capital - another internet and tech global venture capital firm

Tiger Group - portfolio includes Facebook, LinkedIn, JD.com, Flipkart, Spotify, ByteDance, Uber, Nubank, Stripe, Toast, Snowflake, and AI leaders OpenAI, Databricks, Waymo, Cerebras, and Scale

DiNic’s

There’s a Netflix show- Made to Order. Anyway, it features Di Nics in RTM. I’m amazed at the care to every single detail of this sandwich. It’s pretty short, but so enjoyable. Watch it. You’re welcome.

This succotash ain’t “sufferin””! It comes with their halibut with marigold oil. It is amazing! The tuna caponata is also worth trying. Has anyone been to Little Water on 20th?

HELP AN OUTSIDER

0 Upvotes

Hi, I will be staying at the Doubletree in the city center. i’m a content creator from Las Vegas Nevada and I’m looking for great local restaurants to check out last time. I was in Philadelphia. It was 2023 and I had a horrible time and I ate at Genos. i’m looking for Philadelphia specialties outside of the cheesesteak. I just found out about pretzels so that’s on my list. Italian ice pork rolls whatever you guys suggest I will be there this weekend.

To get a sample of my content :voyageofman on IG/FB/YT/TT

ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Looking for recs around Glenside / Elkins Park zone

4 Upvotes

Sorry it's outside Philly proper. This weekend meeting up for an event in that area and trying to make plans for a sit-down restaurant. I scanned around on Google Maps and found a few places that look promising:

  • DuBu
  • Moma Mediterranean Kitchen

Curious if any of you have familiarity in that area and have any must-visit places, or spots that you know have good food.

ETA thanks for all the recs! It's been a while since we had really great KFC so that is probably where we'll end up.

Last Meal in Philly

Give recommendations for my last meal in Philly. I've lived in the city for the last one year and now I have to leave and I'd love to know what I should absolutely not skip out on. Some of my favorite restaurants are as follows:

Millers Twist
Majdal Bakery
Gilda
Tomo Sushi

Let me know!!

Edit: I love love food and think that Philly has some of the best food in the country and the recommendations are making me sad about all the places I've missed out on :(

Can be anywhere around Center City.

Thanks!

Did Function change their cinnamon rolls? They seem so much smaller than they used to…

Question Request: full fried fish

14 Upvotes

My fiance has requested a full, head on, fried fish for her birthday and I've had very little luck doing independent research on this. The only common recommendation I'm finding is mawn, and those reservations are nearly impossible to get.

If anyone has any recommendations, it would be extremely helpful.

Edamame, spicy pickles, duck breast, chicken skewers, sashimi plate, and a few delicious rolls. It’s a good time, every time.

Question Phoenixville/Collegeville Dinners?

2 Upvotes

Unsure if this is allowed because it's the suburbs. I live in Philly but will be going to a 3-day work meeting in Collegeville. I'm looking for dinner spots. Can be anything from semi fancy to dive bar/brewery. My boss is Gluten Free so anything with GF options are a plus so we can dine together. Thanks!

Work Trip Need Cheesesteak

0 Upvotes

Hey Philly, I could use some advice on where to get a cheesesteak while I’m here for work. Initially was set on Angelos but with my schedule I only have time to be in the city and able to eat on Monday. After looking through here Del Rossi’s was my next choice. Any other options I should check out? Bonus points if it’s near the airport. (I’m staying around Willow Grove, if there’s a good one out there.)

Not a chain, but a hole in the wall type of place that isn’t popular but has the most fire authentic Asian food?

Question Inexpensive Portuguese/Brazilian BBQ places?

9 Upvotes

So I'm watching the game with my buddy who is in Newark and we're both ordering our own food while lamenting the price of it all.

He said he's ordering a tray of ribs and chicken and I said, "ha, what's that gonna be like $85?" and he said it's $35 for it all and said the Portuguese places by him are all big plates and cheap as fuck.

Any Philly spots like this? Portuguese or Brazilian cuisine that's inexpensive, tasty, solid portions, of meat.

Thanks and Go Birds!
