Damn, Gordon Ramsay did this Delco BBQ joint dirty. www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2026...

I thought I wanted more coffee, so I asked my husband to make another pot. But now I don't want anymore but I feel guilty so I'm drinking it anyway and I feel like my head is going to explode. Help!

My husband just called Wes Anderson movies β€œWhitesploitation” and no description of anything ever will be as accurate as that.

50 Best Restaurants in Philadelphia Our highly anticipated guide to the most exciting, compelling, and provocative restaurants in Philly right now.

The Top 10 on @phillymag.com's 50 Best Restaurants list are here! The best part about this project is sharing the people and places that make dining in Philly great. The worst part, however, is how hard it is for me to get reservations after we publish this list! www.phillymag.com/foobooz/50-b...

I'm proud to present @phillymag.com's 50 Best Restaurants! It only comes out once a year, but it's a project I'm working on 24/7/365, and it wouldn't be possible without help from my team and our trusty contributors. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

The Michelin Guide is a Good Thing for Philly ... and the World There's been a lot of talk about why Michelin would be bad for Philly's food scene. But it's not the existential threat you think it is.

Some in Philly fear the Michelin Guide will water down our city's unique flavor to cater to a global audience.

Here's my take: Instead of thinking that the world will change Philadelphia, we should see this as an opportunity for Philadelphia to change the world. www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2025...

Was curious to see if Fat Tuesday on South Street was still open and stumbled upon the greatest Google description of all time.

Like Hot Pockets in a microwave, we’re all just being bombarded by radiation on a spinning rock hurdling through an ever expanding universe. Such a beautiful thing πŸ₯Ή

I’m so happy I preordered Shane Confectionery’s Pine Barrens assortment. It’s one of the most beautiful boxes of chocolates I’ve ever seen. And the fact that all of the chocolates represent legends of the Pines (folklore that I grew up with) makes this box all the more special.

Last night, my husband came into the living room with this Furby figurine on an electric tealight candle and said "let the sΓ©ance begin."

This is our love language.

Should You Be Eating Activated Charcoal? The Department of Health in NYC is suddenly enforcing a ban on charcoal in food

β€˜Tis the season when I remind everyone that spooky foods tinted black with activated charcoal can impact the effectiveness of medications… including birth control!

Customers say they were tricked by Reese's pumpkins. See who won the lawsuit. A Florida judge dismissed a case brought against Hershey's in 2024, accusing the company of deceptive marketing for Reese's Peanut Butter chocolates.

A group of Floridians tried to sue Hershey for $5 million because the holiday Reese’s cups don’t look like pumpkins, bats, and ghosts. Everyone knows they look like amorphous blobs and we don’t care. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is perfection. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
