Beau Monde Creperie

This authentic French creperie is located just a block from the lively South Street shops and bars in Philadelphia , and offers both elegant indoor and outdoor dining. Beau Monde’s crepe menu is divided into two categories: savory and sweet. For either type, you can either order from a list of house recommendation crepes, or you can get creative and build your own crepe from a bevy of filling options. The savory crepes, which generally run for about $12-14, are served in a thin buckwheat pancake and can include fillings such as cheese or sauce and meats such as ham, chicken breast, andouille sausage, or fish, and vegetables such as tomatoes, mushrooms, or roasted leeks. The sweet crepes, usually from about $8-10, are made with wheat flour and also feature numerous options, such as flavored butter, chocolate, fresh fruit, ice cream, or custard. Jeff’s Take: For my savory crepe, I went with the coq au vin—a classic French dish that’s slow cooked with chicken, red wine, baby onions, mush

Taqueria Moroleon

Mike's Take: Taqueria Morleon is a little hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant on the outskirts of Kennett Square. It is in a shopping strip next to a Capriotti's. My work colleague and I were debating on eating at the Capriotti's or trying this "quaint" Mexican restaurant. Let's just say we made the wrong decision. Taqueria Moroleon's atmosphere was adequate, having all the typically bright painted walls and Mexican flair. The lighting is a bit dim, but the atmosphere and facility is not where Taqueria Morleon stumbles. Let me start off with the highlight of the meal - The tortilla chips and salsa. Chips were good and there were 2 salsas to choose from: a mildly fresh salsa and a waterier spicy salsa. That's pretty much where the positives end, so let's move onto how this was one of my worst restaurant experiences of recent memory. The chips were ok, but the iced teas we ordered were pretty awful. My colleague described them, as "Dirty Waters.

Food Country: About Us

The idea of Food Country came up almost by accident. When arguing with a vegetarian friend in high school, one of us remarked that she was “a disgrace to our country.” “And what country is that?” our friend replied. And Food Country was born. Food Country has since stood as a symbol of our food ideals. We love meat (or as we sometimes call it, “slaughter”) in its many forms, and believe it should be incorporated whenever possible. We’re not saying that other food groups should be excluded—in fact, they often complement meat well or can even stand on their own. But meat serves as the foundation of Food Country. In addition, we have high standards for our food in general. But we’re not snobs about it. We believe that good food doesn't have to cost a lot. For that reason, we plan to review everything from food carts to upscale restaurants. We started this blog because we love food, and because we want to provide a trusted resource, honoring the values of Food Country, on where to get
