The first episode of 2024 is here! Delicious City’s first guest of the year is a man who is known by one name, like Madonna, Bono, and Slash… Shola runs one of the most exclusive dining experiences in Philly at his Studio Kitchen in the BOK building, wowing everyone who sits at his table with his unique take on modernist cuisine. Plus: a 2023 Restaurant Retrospective, and what we’re most looking forward to in the new year!
- Some of the DC cast are embarking on *Dry January* and discuss non-alcoholic options that still taste good without booze
- Shola talks about his journey to Philadelphia, the stops he made between here and his home country of Nigeria, and how he made a name for himself as an underground master of modernist cooking.
- Remember all that fuss over the Piazza 12 years ago? Shola tells his side of the story of the restaurant that never was and why it doesn’t bother him nowadays
- Shola also talks about his appearance on ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ with Phil Rosenthal and the philosophy behind his favorite kitchen “toys”
- Best Bites include several breakfast sandwiches that are worth setting your alarm for! Eli and Dave have a couple of culinary highlights from the North NJ/NYC area, and Eli shares his leftover dumpling hack
- We look back on 2023 restaurant wins (and fails) in our city, and everybody names their most anticipated opening of 2024
- Food News includes an ice cream comeback, a retro gamer’s paradise, and a few moves happening over in University City. We also find out who topped Craig LaBan’s favorite dishes of the past year
