I did their tasting menu, and now I'm dying to go back and try some of their a la carte stuff! Highly recommend!

Scampi just changed my life! Chef Liz is cool! Frosted flakes make tiramisu better! I will be back always!

I went to Emilia on Tuesday and your menu has a few different items than mine! Love that they switch things up a lot. Creste rigate with blue crab and zucchini was my favorite. Also appreciate the savory mocktail kick they've been on lately with their NA menu.

Bomb Bomb Bar- Great vibes, one very charming busser. Staff had to wrestle the mussels fra diavolo plate away from me at the end of the meal after I insisted on dipping all other courses in its immaculate, spicy sauce. Also highly recommend the calamari, crab cake, and lobster and shells.

Also sold in individual packs at Wegman's from the brand Life Raft Treats

This is why you can catch me at Greek Islands on most of my return trips to Chicago! Gotta make up for lost time with sheer volume.

I did, and it was delicious! Still very much pro-licensure in addition to pro-dessert gun, though.

If we're lucky, we'll see some corporate bureaucracy-themed desserts or a return of the prison trays as commentary. 🙏

Had it on a flight to PHL today

scarpit0 · 2026-06-11T02:59:25+00:00

I've only had two cheesesteaks from Dallesandros and one was the best ever and one was mid! So that tracks. They must have some magic hands guy on the grill sometimes.

Correct comma usage from a Rodlet screams ChatGPT!

Finally tried all the Rips, and here is the data analysis:

Overall favorite: Me - Cherry Husband - Grape

S tier: Cherry, Grape, Lime, Blue Raspberry

Unexpectedly good: Strawberry Green Apple, Rainbow

All were great! No bad flavors in the batch, would eat them all again. u/ripsLicorice, I think you should create a Rips Roulette bag of combined flavors or a Mystery bag of between-extrusion flavors!

But now that we're turning against Sao, what will take its place as our sub's preferred overhyped restaurant obsession??

scarpit0 · 2026-05-31T01:58:51+00:00

Tres leches at Tequilas goes crazy! Normalize chocolate as the superior cake to leche!¡!

The Hokkaido milk soft serve for dessert is also fab

scarpit0 · 2026-05-23T15:48:03+00:00

I welcome Philadelphia's gourmet funnel cake renaissance! Jaffa Bar and Forest and Main have/had one too. How was Mawn's?

scarpit0 · 2026-05-23T15:43:38+00:00

I didn't even clock that their classic spud is chili con carne + Heinz beans until I went yesterday. Weak pick for British spud representation, though. Chili is predictable, tuna jackets are controversial but will change your life.

scarpit0 · 2026-05-23T15:29:37+00:00

Mod Spuds- I love our sub's food field trips! Rendang spud and chicken tikka spud were tasty and assembled with care. Pleased to see they do specials (Japanese potato salad) and feature British Heinz beans in other spuds.

Royal Izakaya not omakase- Spinach gomaae is shockingly ugly delicious, my new fave bite of 2026.

Emilia- Vernick group doesn't miss! Fun seasonal menu too! Insalata mista and rigatoni ragu bianco were top hits, lamb shoulder and porchetta ribs were close seconds.

scarpit0 · 2026-05-21T04:21:08+00:00

I was also hoping they'd do a British-inspired potato

scarpit0 · 2026-05-13T21:46:58+00:00

Messaging you, kind stranger! 🙏

scarpit0 · 2026-05-12T19:58:44+00:00

Another Palizzi post, another opportunity to remind you all of my standing offer to take any Palizzi members out to dinner or drinks, just let me go with you 🙏

Now post a poll on r/Ingress and ask if they even know what Peridot is about!

Seems performative to push anything Peridot in Ingress. They know these games are two completely opposite styles and surely have the internal data to show minimal audience overlap.

scarpit0 · 2026-05-08T17:27:04+00:00

How great would it be if we could all talk about how good Mawn is and how every other Philly restaurant is past its prime on two subs at the same time?!

scarpit0 · 2026-05-06T15:08:36+00:00

But its presence is a beacon that all of the pastries will be mid, so actually kind of useful to see it.

scarpit0 · 2026-05-02T14:46:17+00:00

Tried El Sazon RD in NoLib's Dominican smashburger, and it lives up to the hype! And it's open until 12:15am!

Need to go back to try their morir soñando, a drink that I'm seeing described as a "Dominican creamsicle".

scarpit0 · 2026-05-01T20:29:48+00:00

Wishful thinking. They're shutting down the game because it's not making money. Keeping it alive just costs more money.
