Good Morning, Food Lovers!
We know that your best-loved meals don’t only come in the form of dinner, which is why our October cover story is on our favorite brunch spots around the region. (There were sooo many to choose from, it was hard to pick only 55.) Also this week, Joy Manning dashed over to New Jersey to check out Rat’s Restaurant, which is now run by Stephen Starr. Sound exhausting? Maybe it’s time to order in. We’ve got an exclusive Q+A with the 24-year old entrepreneur who started Main Line Delivery, which brings food from the ML’s best restaurants right to your door.
