I absolutely Love Carlino's Market. When I moved to the…read moreburbs several years ago, I was extremely concerned that I wouldn't find anything close to Philadelphia's Italian specialty foods scene. From their breads and other baked goods, to their specialty Pizzas, sandwiches and premade meals, This establishment meets all those needs with ease. This place is an absolute gem!

I'm in my Italian market era, so stopping by Carlino's after the recommendation of a friend was a…read moreno-brainer. Picked up lunch with a friend on a weekend. The counter was pretty packed, but ordering via tablet was easy, and my sandwich came soon after. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten to pick up my friend's order so it took a bit longer. Checking in on your order every once in a while might be advantageous. They are stocked with every angle of Italian cuisine here-- wine, cheese, bread, meats, sides. I'm not eager to get that much into the Italian deep end, so I did not indulge, but supply is off the charts here! I had the Italian hoagie as a baseline and it was definitely above average. I'd definitely come here to get my fix, but I've had better in South Philly for sure. Things are kept pretty neat around here, and they have some outdoor covered seating available if you'd like to sit in to eat your food.

At the suggestion of one of my students at HMS, we ordered dins from a place I had never heard of…read moreuntil he told me about it--Spring Grocery Store. (60 E. Spring Avenue, Ardmore). I took it with a grain of salt, because 12 year olds are not notorious for their discerning palate. He was kind enough to bring me a menu, and off we went! We ordered (5) wings to start (student loved them). They were good--have had better. I ordered the cheese steak, was piping hot when we picked it up, a respectable amount of meat and extra cheese as ordered--very good. My husband ordered the Curry Goat. It was excellent. Tender pieces of goat (on the bone, think small little riblets) with a flavorful yet not too spicy curry sauce, rice and bean mix and excellent fried cabbage.The ratio of beans to rice was a tad low, but still very good. It is an unassuming storefront among row homes, neighbors hanging out on stoops and such were friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

It was amazing! I couldn't stop thinking about it the next day, so I had to come back for lunch! This time I tried the oxtail, and curry goat. My favorite was the Jamaican jerk chicken, but the Oxtail and curry chicken were very good as well! I wasn't a big fan of the goat, but it had nothing to do with the cooking though. Just too many little bones in it. Loved the beans and rice! Probably the best I've ever had! Great find, will definitely return!

Interesting concept, been wanting to check it out so finally did. This to me is not a true "food…read morehall." A true food hall is one that has different restaurants with their own spaces inside the building (think The Bourse or a smaller version of RTM). But I digress. I decided to drive down and place my order when I got there. The place itself is small and sterile, and you order at the little kiosk things. I decided to go with MS's Streetbird. I waited only around 10min and it was ready. I got a spicy sammich combo with mac/greens and also a side of slaw. The portions were very generous for the price (altogether paid less than $17). As you can see from my photos, the sandwich was a bit of a joke - it honestly looked like someone sat on it?? The bun was SO THIN I've never even seen a bun this thin before! Lettuce was completely soggy. The chicken itself was tasty but the sides were the real stars. The mac/greens were delicious and the slaw tasted very fresh! Overall, it was an ok experience. I will definitely give it another try in the future to check out some of the other restaurants on the list.

Checked out the Wonder Food Hall in Ardmore. I have been to the one in Fishtown so I was already…read morefamiliar with some of the restaurants at this location. The Wonder chain has been blowing up everywhere in Pennsylvania. Similar to the Wonder in Fishtown, you have to order from an app that gives you the option to choose from several types of restaurants. I had a discount code but apparently it didn't work because it is only able to be used once in the Wonder chain. I ended up accidentally ordering my meal and it is basically impossible to cancel once it is ordered. The meals come out real quick leaving no room to change orders. The bot they utilize for customer service was less helpful. I literally had to call to speak to someone to cancel which took a longer time than it should have. The customer service lady did end up giving me a discount so I got some food from this location. Also, beware, they have options to order that aren't picked up at that location (which makes no sense to me). Like they have several restaurants in Center City to order from but you have to go to those locations to pick up. Food I got at Wonder: Hanu Poke- I had the build your own poke bowl. It was pretty amazing. It tasted better than the bowls I get at an actual Japanese restaurant. I liked the rice pearls and the amount of salmon/tuna in the bowl. I liked the quality of ingredients as well. Yasas by Michael Symon- I had a build your own bowl and the spiced sweet potato and kalamata sandwich. The build your own bowl was so healthy looking. I really liked how I could get bulgur and greens together. I wasn't just limited to rice. The pickled red onions were good and I enjoyed how they made the chicken souvlaki. The chicken pieces were so tasty. Tejas BBQ- I had the brisket, pork ribs, and carrot soufflé. The brisket and pork ribs were average. The brisket was definitely on the juicy end which was nice. The carrot soufflé was pretty fluffy. I didn't even realize it was made of carrot.
