The Philly Mag Restaurant Club
Restaurant Club
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2009
Hey RCers,
A peek into my thought process: Fall means football and football means tailgating and tailgating means good sandwiches. Which is why we are excited about the upcoming Sandwich Smash, and got a discount on tickets for you. We’ve also got down and dirty (and all the details) on a bizarre and smelly situation that a steakhouse and a jazz café have found themselves in, plus we caught up with chef Michael Mina to find out how restaurants in A.C. are faring. Lastly, looking to spend Rosh Hashanah in a restaurant? London Grill is one of the few restaurants in town serving up this celebratory meal. (Think braised short ribs and chicken liver pate.)
