Restaurant Club
TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2009
Helloooo, Clubbers!
In between jaunts to the shore, we’ve managed to squeeze in a whole lotta eating for you. First up, critic Joy Manning went back to Butcher & Singer (she reviewed it for the March issue of Philly Mag and didn’t love it) to see if had gotten any better. Then, Bridget went to Raw sushi for dinner and had such a weird service experience that she had to fill us in. Plus we’ve got a new food you maybe shouldn’t try (?) but should definitely know about and an exclusive look at an awesome-sounding upscale pizza place that’s coming to Media is the fall. (It’s exciting — we love good pizza too!)
