Since its February that means Presidents’ Day is here. To me this is one of those funny holidays that means nothing except it gives me a chance to go out on Sunday and not have to worry about having my Monday ruin my Sunday. I have wanted to hit up the new La Colombe in Fishtown and since I was supposed to meet friends at Yards brewing company later in the day I decided to head there for brunch. I remember reading an article when this place first opened saying they didn’t have wifi bc they didn’t want people hanging around there all day not buying anything, this made sense to me at the time now, but now it does not. The concept is a fizzle even though it makes up for it in other ways. When I got there I wanted to order the ham and butter sandwich on a baguette but they were not available at the time, it seems the restaurant prepares these in batches and the wait staff never knows when …

This establishment is a reliable thoroughbred in the Center City area. You know you are at the right place when you see the famous “pabbit” it’s legendary question of existence is up there with the likes of mermaids and sasquatches, I wonder what the pabbit call would sound like, oh well back to the point of this thing. I recommend this place to anyone who is coming into town for one night and wants to have good food in a classy but causal atmosphere. The neighborhood bar is always filled with millennials looking to have a good time. I met up with a few of my friends here to drink and eat. I started the night here with my go to beer when I’m at P and K (as the regulars call it) Old Speckled Hen English Ale, it’s a light refreshing ale that I could most likely finish a case of in a sitting. We drank at the bar for about an hour before we asked to be seated. As soon as we sat, …

This is a blog about a man that likes to overindulge in life, but especially food and drink. I see myself as the Holy Trinity of Philadelphia a mix between Zane Lamprey, Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain. I was known as the host of Rittenhouse Square when I worked in the industry, but now that I have a job outside the industry I love to frequent the spectacular restaurant scene Philadelphia has to offer. And when I’m outta town I will let you know the scenes there as well. My rating system goes from fizzle to Tizzle (1-5 and rarely 10) Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!

A fantastic Gem in an up and coming neighborhood. After taking advantage of a free lyft drive out to fishtown from Center City I finally had the chance to try this gastropub. I met up with a buddy here to watch a couple of college hoops game and it was a great atmosphere to relax, talk and watch the games. The whiskey selection is great here, I got the special to start the Rob Roy for $6 and he drank the 4 roses small batch bourbon. I realized very quickly the Rob Roy wasn’t my thing. To start off we ordered the roasted nuts which were straight up addictive, they tasted like a chicken right out of the oven, I believe they used thyme and rosemary spices. I then ordered their flight of rye whiskey’s, if you like trying different types of whiskeys and bourbons, this is your place, my flight was terrific, each whiskey got better as it went from 2 to 5 to 10 yr. Next app up was the crispy fried duck …
