The Philly Mag Restaurant Club
Restaurant Club
TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2009
Hello, Hungry Philadelphians!
Best of Philly is always my favorite issue of the year, because it’s a celebration of what’s so great about our region. Copies will start hitting mailboxes and newsstands later this week, but RC members are getting the absolute first look at some of the winners right here. The second thing I’m excited to share with you is the announcement of our third Restaurant Club dinner: I recently described these dinners as getting a collective hug from my loyal RCers, and I can’t wait to dine with you again. And don’t miss our interview with the chef at the newfangled Marigold Kitchen and important updates for the next Restaurant Week.
