Would You Like Salt With That?


Philly is famous for its ‘tude and the Philly hospitality industry is no exception. While we officially have a policy of avoiding establishments where the staff runs from slightly salty to just plain mean, there are a few places where the food is so addictive that we keep going back…

We’re thinking of a certain bakery in South Philadelphia with luscious cookies lined up in its cases, but nasty cookies working behind the counter. Every time we go we’re sneered at by the staff and every time we swear it will be the last. Then we find ourselves slinking back, weak in the knees with cravings for those marvelous cookies. Our pride is a slave to our sugar addiction.

What places have such good food or drinks that you willingly submit yourself to abuse? Cheesesteak emporiums don’t count. Too easy.
