Much celebrated chef Jack McDavid hasn’t lost his Southern drawl or his overalls despite his more than 20 years in Philadelphia. His home-style cooking can be found at the Down Home Diner, his outpost in Reading Terminal, but his Firehouse (housed, yes, in a fire station, complete with fireman’s pole and imposing doors that open onto a sidewalk café) is about “haute country cuisine”: black-eyed pea and hog jowl soup, crawdads and macaroni with spicy tomato sauce, and buffalo with moonshine sauce.
