Two Boroughs Larder

“A husband and wife run 30-seater for those who appreciate boundary-less inventive and coddle cuisine. We all love it."

- Chef Mike Lata of FIG and The Ordinary in Charleston, SC

“A very eclectic little restaurant with chef-inspired cuisine - anything from a noodle bowl to conserved tuna with shisitso peppers, sweetbreads to banana pudding in a mason jar. I had a lamb belly with yogurt and Indian spices, and it was just incredible.”

- Chef Robert Carter of Carter’s Kitchen and? Rutledge Cab Co in Charleston, SC

186 Coming Street, Charleston, SC 29403

Trattoria Lucca

“I love Lucca. I like to leave work a little early and sit at the bar and have chef Ken Vedrinski cook me whatever he is excited about. His robust cooking is simply delicious.”

- Chef Mike Lata of FIG and The Ordinary in Charleston, SC

“It is by far one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. They don’t get a lot of tourists, because they’re not on King Street or East Bar, so they have a lot of locals and the food is just amazing. Monday is family supper night. It’s four courses for like $38. No menu, just whatever they’re sending out.”

- Bartender Jackson Cannon of The Cocktail Club in Charleston, SC

“For pasta and, well, really anything.”

- Bartender Brooks Reitz of FIG and The Ordinary in Charleston, SC and founder of Jack Rudy Cocktail Company

“Chef Ken Vedrinski formerly cooked at the Relais & Chateaux Woodlands Inn. Super casual, small room in an emerging neighborhood. Simple fresh Italian food. Superb antipasti, house-made pastas all with local ingredients. Go here when you’ve had your fill of Southern-fried and sweet tea.”

- Cookbook authors Matt & Ted Lee

6 Things Ohio | Ice Cream Maker Jeni Britton Bauer

Columbus

“There are many things about my home city that I can’t live without.”

Eat | Savory

Third and Hollywood

My number one go-to dish is the hand-ladled ricotta and greens. Super garlicky greens, ricotta made, while you wait, with Snowville Creamery whole milk. It all comes out in little cast iron pans and you spoon it out onto toasts. It’s an appetizer, but I always get it for my dinner.?

Maytag Blue Cheese Potato Chips ?

Cap City Diner

When we’ve got guests in town we always go to Cap City Diner. The chefs are always accommodating, the food is always top notch and I can get the Ohio Nachos - kettle chips with alfredo sauce, Maytag Blue and chives. These are so good that other restaurants in town now put them on their menu. Good for a once-a-year splurge.

Mi Li Cafe

A little known fact about Columbus, we have a very diverse assortment of great restaurants. At Mi Li Cafe, they make their bread with rice flour to make the traditional Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich. The fresh, crisp-on-the-outside, but soft-on-the-inside bread, the perfect pork, cold veggies and pate make this sandwich intensely crave-able for me when I need salt and umami -- the antidote to too much sugar.?

6 Things | Philadelphia


Antiques | Antiquarian’s Delight

Unearth vintage gems in this large, old antique market located in the basement of a former synagogue. Pray that you'll find something unique. Bartender Al Sotack finds vintage cocktail glasses here.

Candy | Shane Confectionery

Established in 1863, this Philadelphia candy treasure has bragging rights to being the oldest continuously-run confectionery in the United States. Everything from their taffy to bars to bon bons are all hand-crafted. In 2011, the operation was purchased by the Berley brothers, who also own the Franklin Fountain Ice Cream Parlor. Bartender Al Sotack told us about this retro-sweet shop, “they have this huge library of turn of the century molds for hard candy and make everything from scratch.”

French | Bibou

This BYOB delivers classic, rustic French food. They have a small menu (meaning 5 appetizers and 5 entrees) and chef Lee Styer of Fond restaurant loves the Pied de Porc, a braised pig’s foot stuffed with foie gras and the Terrine du Jour pate.

Vietnamese | Pho 75

Nothing special about the decor, but the low-key restaurant located on the corner of a Vietnamese shopping mall serves up pho that local chefs love...

“It’s super consistent and cheap and delicious and you sit at cafeteria tables. I get the number 14, (Tai, Sach) it’s made with steak and beef tripe.”

- Chef Michael Solomonov of Zahav in Philadelphia

“They do pho with beef tripe, the tendon and other stuff, but what I like about it is that they slice the beef rare and just let it sit on top of the soup, so it kind of slowly cooks.”

- Chef Joe Cicala of Le Virtu in Philadelphia

Cocktails at Emmanuelle

Coffee | Bodhi Coffee

Chef Michael Solomonov gets his caffeine fix at this small and comfy coffee spot in Society Hill. They have single-origin Stumptown coffee as well as coffee from a few small roasters like PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. from Topeka, KA. The knowledgeable staff can pull a perfect espresso or a well-executed pour-over coffee.
