Recipe Philly

An unforgettable night celebrating food, friendship, and some very special menu wins! Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Recipe Philly with dear friends to celebrate something very special to me: my Caesar Salad with Swiss Crisps recipe landing on the menu! What made the evening even more memorable was getting to experience so many of the incredible dishes created by my fellow menu winners. A shout out to the very attentive staff who went above and beyond! (Both FOH and BOH) Between our two couples, we ordered a myriad of items — from the "mint to be woodermelon" cocktail and wine, to appetizers, entrées, sides, and desserts. If I had a third stomach, I would have ordered everything on the menu! 😂 First and foremost, thank you to the kitchen for recreating my Caesar Salad with Swiss Crisps so perfectly. It was absolutely spot-on and so delicious, if I may say so myself! LOL. Our friends seemed to agree, too. A definite table favorite was Niya's Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. What's not to love?! Everything you hope for in a cheesesteak and more, wrapped up in a crispy egg roll — and that Sriracha ketchup SLAPS! Derek Simpson's Holy Meatballs were absolutely fabulous — a true treat for the palate, it was definitely husband approved as he is a true "meatball whisperer". Randy Mahan's Pasta Fagioli was delicious and hearty, just as described. I personally would have loved a little more broth, but the flavor was everything we hoped for. Then there was my Caesar salad again — and I have to say one more time, thank you! Seeing my recipe brought to life on the menu and enjoying it with friends was such a special experience. I've been dreaming about Rameez's Crispy Fried Butter Chicken Sandwich ever since I knew it would be on the menu, and it definitely did not disappoint! The layers of flavor were absolutely delectable. I paired it with a side of cilantro-lime rice, and it was fantastic. Andrea Kulp's Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin was rich and oh-so-flavorful. The blue cheese and sage really elevated the dish and added such wonderful depth. Our table also opted for Pete O'Byrne's Girl Scout-Crusted Pork Chop, and let me just say — I'm all about unexpected flavors on a plate, and this entrée hit it out of the park! What a fun and delicious combination. We rounded out the meal with a small house salad and the oven-roasted potato rounds before moving on to dessert: Jewish Apple Cake and Dahlia's Chocolate Cake. Both were a perfect ending to an incredible meal. What makes this experience even more meaningful is knowing the heart and soul behind these dishes. As one of the menu winners, I know firsthand how much thought, creativity, passion, and love each individual put into their recipe. There is a heartfelt story behind every one of these menu items, and you can truly taste the love on the plate. To the entire team at Recipe Philly — thank you for creating such a wonderful experience and for giving all of us the opportunity to share our recipes and stories with your guests in a beautiful space. I am so grateful to be part of it. Wishing Recipe Philly so much success! If you have the opportunity to visit, come hungry and order something from this incredible menu. You'll not only be enjoying a delicious meal — you'll be tasting someone's story, passion, and a whole lot of love.

My last meal on Earth would include Dahlia’s chocolate cake… that was sooo unbelievably good! Bubbe’s brisket sliders and the honey crunch wings were also a top for me. Great place with very welcoming staff. We were able to make the Social Hour (happy hour) that included great bites and good drink deals. Highly recommend!

My wife & I had the pleasure of dining at this new restaurant in Philadelphia. The place was beautiful, food was amazing but the best part was the service. We were treated like family from the time we walked in until the time we left. I would highly recommend Recipe Philly to all my friends and family. We can't wait until our next visit. Congrats to Ed and his family on their latest venture.

Awesome food and back story. I went with my good friend last weekend and the food was great - we had the Benny burger (phenomenal), the Piñon, and then the staff surprised us with the vegan shepherds pie (i forget the name). Our waiter was …

After hearing that Recipe Philly opened recently, my partner and I had a wonderful date night here! The apps, food, and drinks were all delicious, and the staff was very friendly and attentive! We enjoyed reading about the recipes and the people who created them too, such a unique idea! We appreciated that there were a variety of price points for food which made the elevated experience more accessible.
