Since we spoke to you last, Vernick joined the wine business, Pizzeria Beddia received another (well-deserved) commendation, and a new restaurant opened in the Divine Lorraine Hotel. And on this edition of the Jawn Appetit podcast, we take a trip to… Rhode Island?
It’s not every day that you get a chance to go behind the scenes of one of the biggest seafood wholesalers in America.

So join us on a very unique look at some the food you order in and around Philadelphia BEFORE it comes to your plate… enjoy!!
The team that gave us the amazing Suraya and Pizzeria Beddia has come together once again to bring us the Mexican-inspired Condesa… can lightning strike three times? And on this episode of Jawn Appetit, we spend WAY too much time talking about the best – and worst – Halloween candy…
Chef Greg Vernick has a stable of excellent restaurants, so it’s no surprise that his newest – Vernick Fish – has instantly made a name for itself in a crowded Philadelphia food scene. We also discuss several other high-profile openings around town, including the Brooklyn import Emmy Squared.
Di Bruno Bros. is a food lover’s dream… if you love to cook – or eat – make your way to the closest Di Bruno’s for some amazing culinary delights! We also spend time on this episode reviewing the 50 best restaurants in Philly, and debate whether or not you should look at the menu before heading out to eat.
Where should you dine during Center City Restaurant Week? Which one of the city’s top 50 restaurants is now at Philadelphia International Airport? And, most importantly… how should you play Uno? We answer all of those questions and lots more in this edition of Jawn Appetit…
Recently, we were honored to host a live show as part of the Bite 4 The Fight food festival, a fundraiser held in honor of Makenna Ann Massi to help raise funds for families facing pediatric cancer. The Fight On Makenna Foundation was created by the Massi family to honor Makenna’s memory, and at the first annual Bite 4 The Fight festival, we were able to taste some of the best food that the Philadelphia area has to offer. During our show, we were joined by Chef Robert Irvine, host of the hit Food Network show ‘Restaurant Impossible’ and author of the “Family Table” cookbook.
We’re not just about food here on Jawn Appetit… on this episode, we take a trip to Philadelphia Distilling to sample some Bluecoat American Gin as well as their other amazing spirits. We also visited Beyonce’s favorite bakery, and explain how tailgating got a lot easier for Eagles fans.
Our trip around the Fairmount section of Philadelphia continues as we made a stop at La Calaca Feliz to see if their exceptional Yelp, Google and TripAdvisor reviews told the whole story. We also give kudos to Pizzeria Beddia for another amazing honor and wonder if all of the calories in a mukbang are really worth it…
We recently had a chance to partner with Eastern State Penitentiary for their Hidden Lives Illuminated program to discuss the intersection of food and the criminal justice system.

And for our second interview, we talked with Chef Kurt Evans, the culinary adviser for the Drive Change program in Brooklyn, NY and the founder of the End Mass Incarceration Dinner series.
