Forty Eight Hours in Philly

Forty Eight Hours in Philly

Let me start by saying I am neither a vegan nor a vegetarian. I prefer to think of myself as a flexitarian. Basically, I'll eat what I damn well please pending it doesn't kill me.

More and more diners across the world are going meatless (no one forgot about you, Keto) for various reasons and certain cities like Austin, Portland (OR) and Philadelphia are excelling in meatless dishes. For months I'd been hoping to explore Philadelphia's booming meatless dining scene and I recently had forty eight hours to make it happen. I was hoping to try at least four places but due to technological difficulties and pure popularity I was only able to visit two (the best two): Vedge and Charlie Was a Sinner.

More specifically, how the heck I'm going to detox my diet. If you too find yourself in need of a delicious, health conscious meal may I suggest Rosemary and Vine in Rye, NY.

Hi all! I got back into the kitchen this weekend and was joined by my little friend harissa. This North African spice paste goes on EVERYTHING. I have a laundry list of uses, two of which I've featured here. Other ideas? I'm thinking yogurt marinade, compound butter, mixed into ground meat for burgers, and tossed with green beans. The only thing harissa doesn't go on? Your tongue.
