As usual, Philadelphia is well represented on this year’s list of James Beard Award finalists. But before the award show comes Mother’s Day, and we’ll give you the skinny on some of the best brunch and dinner options for that special mother and/or grandmother in your life…
Once we can all travel again, there are a bunch of places that we’d like to check out, and Nashville is high on the list. But before we do that, we run down some of the great restaurants and food distributors in the Philadelphia area that are getting us through the quarantine.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:
– Metropolitan area hoop courts during the pandemic
– Chris Johnson’s murder for hire accusation
– NBA H.O.R.S.E.

…and MUCH more!
“This portion of the revolution will not be televised, but EVERYBODY can listen.”

In a city with a bunch of great steakhouses, how does Alpen Rose stack up? And everything old is new again… what once was Fiorella Sausage is now the newest – and hottest – pasta restaurant in the city. And later in the show, we debate whether or not anyone would want their house to smell like pickles.
Sydney McElwee from The Infatuation Philly takes us behind the scenes of her amazing restaurant ride along videos, explains how she orders hundreds of dollars worth of food without people looking at her funny, and gives us her controversial opinion on the best pizza in Philadelphia.
Lee How Fook means “good food for the mouth”, and on this episode of Jawn Appetit, we dive deep into the Chinatown staple’s 300-plus item menu to uncover some of its hidden gems. We also spill the beans on a new restaurant from a James Beard Award winner, and debate the merits of buying music on iTunes.
In the first show of 2020, we discuss PhillyMag’s updated list of Philly’s best restaurants, run through the menu at Michael Schulson’s new Italian restaurant, and lament the fact that Wawa has our information spread out all over the dark Web.
Since we spoke to you last, Vernick joined the wine business, Pizzeria Beddia received another (well-deserved) commendation, and a new restaurant opened in the Divine Lorraine Hotel. And on this edition of the Jawn Appetit podcast, we take a trip to… Rhode Island?
It’s not every day that you get a chance to go behind the scenes of one of the biggest seafood wholesalers in America. So when the folks at Samuels and Son Seafood allowed us to take a peek behind the curtain, we jumped at the chance. So join us on a very unique look at some the food you order in and around Philadelphia BEFORE it comes to your plate… enjoy!!
Chef Greg Vernick has a stable of excellent restaurants, so it’s no surprise that his newest – Vernick Fish – has instantly made a name for itself in a crowded Philadelphia food scene. We also discuss several other high-profile openings around town, including the Brooklyn import Emmy Squared.
