    Strawberry pop tart pastries and coneles
    Stan H.

    Thank you Bread Queen for mentioning this place! What I believe to be another independent bread place but I like this one more. A few tasty pastry options on-site. Parking lot is small- I suggest parking on the side outside, watching for traffic carefully, and entering the premises. Elixir coffee in a coffee container might be outside. A small cafe would be nice with coffee equipment but then Dead King would need to be open to the public longer and more days. Weekly quality bread would be too much for me and I don't live close enough, but the distance is worth it for me for planned drives. Nestled with a lumber company in tow, and when I went, Chestnut Hill library pop-up was next to Dead King. it is sure a treat for a different food experience. You know it is local when a staffer, probably an owner?, asks me if it's my first time and if I'd heard of them from the Internet. I thanked the Yelp Bread Queen (There is a reason it is called Dead King- kidding) for bringing me here!! (P.S. 5/13/24: I play chess competitively. See a connection? Unintended pun that is now intended.) Strawberry pop tart pastry has a good amount of flavor and not too generic flavoring like Kellogg's. I also got chive and herb bread pastry and Black Olive bread not on the display case menu. The pizza dough container I got, I love the size but 500 F seems to be too high for the instructions for 1-2 hrs as my pizza burned too much after 49 minutes. This conele, which I got because I had no idea what it was, has slightly burnt edges for the flavoring with I believe a slight coconut filling. So good. Something maybe you could find at Maman, but this was (also) at Dead King. If you don't have a car and if you can walk, it is worth it. But you have to be really good with planning, bearing the elements, geography/using your devices to guide you well. Get off Ivy Ridge station and make the 8 min walk up a hill. Hopefully you don't get too sweaty. There's probably a bathroom to freshen up somewhere. Oh and don't get there early. In fact, this review should've been forbidden! Leave all the good things for me!

    Finally had a Saturday free to go check out Dead King Bread's new retail space. Yay me! DKB began during the early pandemic days baking and delivering craft breads to people who ordered in their local area. Recently they decided to launch retail sales. They're tucked into a space inside Manayunk Timber (which is also a cool space). Good signage makes them easy to find. I feel a little like Dorothy entering Oz, the bright yellow floor leading me to the Wizard of Bread. This wizard is not a charlatan though! I picked a couple of loaves of their sourdough off the racks as I was waiting in line for the counter. They're a a handwritten list of what's available with prices. Today they had an experimental sourdough milk bread, only one loaf per customer. I of course got a milk bread, the traditional sourdough loaf, a slice of Orange cake and a coffee cake muffin. O how was it? AH MAY ZING. The orange cake was not crazy sweet, it had a hint of tart orange flavor which I loved. Light sugar glaze balanced against tartness without overpowering it. Coffee cake muffin crumbly & moist. Blueberries in the muffin added some pops of earthy sweet. The sourdough milk bread may be my new favorite bread ever. The softness of the loaf plus the tang of the sourdough .... Heaven. Staff were cheerful and attentive, not rushing customers but also not slow. Will I be back? Um YEAH. You should go too! They often sell out do get there early if you can.

    5 stars for Bud and Marilyn's? I recently gave The Love 5 stars for its fried chicken!…read more The Marilyn's Fried Chicken I had this evening was every bit as good! I'm not sure why I waited so long to try the chicken at Bud and Marilyn's, but better late than never! They serve a LARGE 1/2 chicken. I started with the thigh. I was smitten by the first bite. I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy - the thigh was the juiciest - I didn't get to try the drumstick as I was too full! I had the thigh and 1/2 the breast. The breast is my favorite and I savored each large delicious piece I broke apart. It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!

    I've been here a couple times. Loved it. Plenty of options and everything was well made…read more Everything I ate had a hint of decadence without being gross or unhealthy. This is my new go-to for chicken & waffles. Concise, excellent beer selection. And interesting, well-made cocktails. The banana cream pie is one of my favorite desserts anywhere. Staff is friendly. Prices were very reasonable.
