Sunrise Social just earned a spot in my brunch rotation. They have a nice menu and everything was enjoyable. The apple pie French toast was my favorite, ate like dessert, and the collard greens had its own gravy-style twist that made them stand out.

Mama Mia’s on Bustleton is bringing Asian and Italian flavors together in a way you don’t see at your typical neighborhood pizza shop. 🍕🍗

I tried a few things, but the fried chicken was easily the highlight extra crispy and they’ve got plenty of homemade sauces to switch up the flavor. Definitely one of those spots where the menu goes way beyond what you’d expect.

Some of my favorite wings lately came from a Chinatown happy hour. 👀

I tried almost the entire happy hour menu at Jiang Nan, but the salt-and-pepper wings were the clear standout. Crispy, juicy, and seasoned all the way through. The spicy wontons and fried rice were right behind them, and the drinks were solid too.

Definitely a happy hour worth checking out.

Manong gave the kind of brunch I like. Familiar enough to feel comforting, but with Filipino flavors that make more interesting.

The fried chicken with bangus mayo and the bibingka waffle were standouts, and even the simpler sides were cooked well. My niece approved too, so that’s always a good sign 😂

I definitely need to go back for dinner and try more of their traditional Filipino dishes.

Smash Jawn is bringing plenty of Philly personality to the food truck scene, from the jawn names to a few Eagles-inspired burgers.

I tried the Jam Jawn, but the spicy burger was definitely my favorite. The jerk chicken cheesesteak rolls were good too, along with the fresh-cut fries and drinks made right on the truck.
