Episode 40: Punk Rock Wedding Details, Vegan Trailblazers, and the Knot-So-Newlywed Game

Delicious City Philly

Chefs Rich Landau & Kate Jacoby of Vedge fame drop in to the studio to talk about their newest restaurant, Ground Provisions, and why it’s worth a trip out to West Chester, where this energetic upstart is a chance for Rich and Kate to really get back to cooking the way that they started with small, intimate gatherings serving perfectly in-season vegetable dishes.

Here’s what else we discussed:

• Marisa spills the beans on her surprise wedding and why she waned to be the first to be married at the brand new Punk Rock Museum in Vegas
• A recap of our second Delicious City Supper Club, where chefs Joey Baldino and Dominic Piperno absolutely crushed it
• The early days of veganism in Philadelphia and why Horizons Café rewrote the rules
• Why Rich’s cooking style appealed to a broad audience that wasn't just vegans
• Why it was so important for them to elevate vegan cuisine
• We discuss their newest little love letter, Ground Provisions, and why Kate is absolutely in love with this restaurant and market
• A Best Bite for Eli that involves Pennsylvania rice, and yes, it’s actually from Pennsylvania!
• Marisa's Best Bite comes from Vegas, but with a Philly flare.
• A great new wine bar in Center City, where a couple of industry veterans are planning their flag
• The reviews are in, and it seems that MAWN restaurant is an instant classic that Philly didn't know it was missing
• Dutch and northern European food is alive and well in Philadelphia with chef Joncarlo Lachman’s latest restaurant, Dankbaar
• In the mood for some Philadelphia classics, but done with a Korean twist? Check out the newest Grays Ferry neighborhood restaurant called Korea Taqueria
• Our wonderful guests are subjected to one of Eli’s ridiculous games where their knowledge of each other’s quirks and habits is tested
