Everything Food in Philly and South Jersey J’ eat? I‘ve been asked that question about a million times throughout my life, and will probably hear it again in about an hour, as evening approaches. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, (highly unlikely for our readers), it’s how friends around here ask other friends around here if they have eaten yet? If you’re lucky, it’s usually followed by “no, j’u?” And off you’ll both go for something to eat. J’eat? often sparks the commencement of a wonderful, friendly, memorable, delicious meal. With that in mind, I’d like to welcome you to the premier issue of J’eat? Magazine. Let the good times commence! Over a decade ago, I commenced on a journey and created the Dining Out brand in the tri-state area. My dedicated team and I visited the best restaurants in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, highlighting their amazing chefs, outstanding staff and unique and eclectic menus. We met the funny, fabulous, hard-working, and talented characters that make-up this diverse community. We told their stories, tasted their specialties and loved their restaurants. Dining Out provided a great resource to both the businesses and the foodies in our vibrant community. Now, 12 years later, we are all ready for more. Introducing J’eat? Magazine, a home-grown restaurant and recreation guide packed from cover-to- cover with everything food and fun in Philly and South Jersey. We’ve got restaurants, menu’s, recipes, cocktails, chef bios, surveys, behind-the-scene secrets, fun facts and yes, even crazy opinions—easy to come by in Philly! Our premier issue has some great suggestions about how you can make the most of the summer both down the shore and in the heat of

the city. On our cover is One Atlantic Events, A.C.’s top-notch event destination, branching out over the Atlantic Ocean, right in the heart of all the action. Whether you’re getting married, hosting a knocked-out corporate event or simply planning the party of the year, this amazing venue is a must-see and a must-taste. Heading south, there’s Johnny’s Café, Schuckers and Tipsy Taco, the Liccio family’s delightful “m’enage ‘a trois” in Margate, offering three delicious and distinctive dining experiences, depending on your mood and your mojo. If you’re staying home this weekend, why not visit Franco at FrancoLuigi’s in South Philly? Bring a nice bottle of wine, indulge in a big dish of gnocchis and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the piano. That’s a vacation, South Philly style. With our new endeavor, comes new responsibilities, new freedoms and new ideas. Who better to encapsulate the Philadelphia restaurant scene than the people who were born and raised here, who have been fans of all that Philly has to offer all of our lives? I couldn’t be more proud of my dedicated home-grown staff who have agreed to embark on this adventure with me. Together, we promise to bring the best of Philly and South Jersey to our supporters in the most informative, colorful, and creative way possible. So Philly, J’eat yet? Me neither, let’s go!!!!

They’ll Be There For You How Hillis Public Adjusters Make Disaster Less Disastrous It happens all the time, but none of us want to think about it. Be it flood, fire, storm, or anything in between, when disaster strikes your home or business, the grief alone can be overwhelming, let alone the process of quickly receiving a fair insurance settlement. You did your research and found a great insurance provider for just this purpose, right? Well, it doesn’t end there. The sad truth is that every year there are billions of dollars in underpayments of claims by insurance companies. After all, you wouldn’t go to court without an attorney, because you know you need an experienced professional to fight for your best interests. Why would you want to represent yourself against

your insurance company when it is something that can be just as complex and important? “We always strive to educate our clients because most people don’t realize they are at risk of getting underpaid for their insurance claims.” Says Laura Hillis, VP of Hillis Public Adjusters. At Hillis, they’ve settled over 50,000 claims for over 35,000 satisfied clients in a span of over 3 decades, so they certainly know their way around reaching a fair settlement. So this all begs the question ‘what makes a good adjustment agency?’ Well, the honest answer isn’t so simple. “There’s no single secret ingredient,” says Jason Solomon, VP of Operations at Hillis, “there are many reasons why we

have such loyal, happy clients.” The most critical reason probably being that Hillis sports a diverse team of expert adjusters with varied backgrounds and over 200 years of combined mastery in getting their clients what they’re deserved. This puts Hillis in a very unique position to handle all types of claims, small or large, commercial or residential. Compound this with the fact that several members of their team also have lots of experience working for the very same insurance companies they’re adjusting the settlements with, and you’ve got a powerful resource that can’t be matched by any competitors. A common misconception is that there is always going to be a combative envi-

ronment between public adjusters and insurance companies. However, many insurance representatives prefer to work with Public Adjusters, realizing that they are working with someone who speaks their language and who can help expedite the claim process in order to reach a fair conclusion, as opposed to an uneducated policyholder who commands additional attention.

than any ad. Thirty years later, Hillis still relies on the basic premise of word-ofmouth referrals and repeat business for the vast majority of its claims. This type of satisfaction and loyalty isn’t cultivated at giant agencies; it’s born within family run businesses. In an industry that can too often feel impersonal, as Bob puts it, “If we handle your claim, you’re going to remember our name”.

Another nuanced component, that you’re likely not to find elsewhere, is the personal attention and client care that can only come from a family business. In fact, Laura’s father, Bob Hillis started this company just a year before she was born. The once tiny operation expanded quickly with zero marketing or advertising because of the strong personal referrals they received. In this type of business, a personal referral means infinitely more

As with anything as essential as your home or business, it pays untold dividends to do your research and find the right support. Settling an insurance claim is no different and it’s important to have experienced players in the game, like Hillis Public Adjusters, who never compromise and sport an entire arsenal of resources and qualities that help you get your life back together when disaster strikes.

Behind the Scenes Catching up with those in charge Angelo Mancuso III Angelo’s Fairmount Tavern As a third generation restauranteur, Angelo Mancuso III has hospitality in his blood. The sign reading ‘Angelo’s Fairmount Tavern’ that hangs outside the restaurant is no more a sign than it is a family crest. That is because since 1935 when Angelo’s grandfather opened up the restaurant, the Mancusos have stood for the definition of homemade. “What makes us different is the fact that we prepare everything ourselves. We actually grind our Parmesan cheese, we make our own breadcrumbs, we do our own meatballs, we make our sauce every day. We don’t have things made elsewhere and brought in for us.” Angelo Mancuso

For Mancuso, his inheritance is not just a restaurant, it is a commitment to providing the very best to friends, loved ones, and guests. His charge to continue holding up that standard and preserve the family legacy is one that he is thrilled to undertake each and every day. 2300 Fairmount Ave Atlantic City, NJ 08401 Tel: 609.344.2439 angelosfairmounttavern.com

Kevin Addis Entree

Kevin Addis

Ardmore born, Central Pennsylvania bred Chef Kevin Addis always knew he wanted to create his own restaurant. At 32, he and his staff just recently celebrated 3 years at his location at 16th and South Streets. “Entree has done exceedingly well at this location”, he states. It hasn’t

always been easy though. He attended culinary school at the famous Johnson & Wales culinary school in Rhode Island and then worked various restaurant jobs throughout out Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Massachusetts following graduation. These mixes of jobs and experiences have certainly influenced his method and passion for cooking. His philosophy, he says, is easy, “simple locally sourced ingredients, French techniques combined with rich Italian flavors.” That philosophy is derived from his diverse cooking and eating palate, like incorporating New England, Italian and even Southern dishes often on his menu at Entree. “Cooking what you like to eat certainly helps” he admits. He credits his success to “working his way up” literally in the food business. Starting out as a line cook he knows the process from start to finish, allowing him to do the most menial of kitchen tasks to the most complicated. When he learned of the opportunity to start Entree while still living in Boston he jumped at the chance. He says the chance to return home and build something in Philly was an “opportunity of a lifetime”. You’re certainly invited to come taste some delicious savory seafood, succulent steaks and rich desserts at Entree. It’s been said the fried Oreos are by far the favorite goto dessert after an incredible meal here. Reservations can be made through your OpenTable phone app, by phone or the website: www.entreebyob.com 1608 South Street Philadelphia, PA 19146 Tel: 215.790.0330 entreebyob.com

Chef Adrienne Armenia

Sandro Frusone

Sofia

Gnocchi

Chef Adrienne Armenia grew up in South Jersey. As a young lady, she would love every chance she had helping out in the kitchen. Chef Armenia and her parents would drive to Brooklyn every weekend to see her grandmother and aunts, where only the freshest ingredients would be served that night. “I can remember taking the end of a seeded baguette roll and dipping it in my grandmother’s sauce and meatballs... delicious.”

The master creator, Sandro Frusone, carries with him more than four decades of experience as a culinary artist. A native Italian who also owned restaurants in the Old Country, Frusone first opened Gnocchi in 1997. He returned to Italy in 2001, further honed his craft, and came back to Philadelphia on a culinary mission. “I felt fortunate when I was first here,” says Frusone, “now that I’m back, I feel so connected again and I want to make everyone’s experience here phenomenal.”

Chef Armenia graduated with honors from the Academy of Culinary Arts in Mays Landing in 2008. She started her career at the Tropicana Casino Hotel as a line cook and experimented with creating dishes. She then accepted an Executive Chef Position at Sofia’s in Margate in January 2014, and as Executive Chef, she learned about and created new and intriguing Mediterranean dishes. From the Greek Kalamata olive oil to the freshest Mediterranean herbs, her passion and creativity gets put to work each and every day. 9314 Amherst Avenue Margate City, NJ 08402 Tel: 609.822.9111 sofiaofmargate.com

Especially captivated with Queen Village, the 58 year-old, who takes great pride in his craft, is enjoying his second tour as the owner of Gnocchi. “I absolutely love these surroundings and the people who come in.” He added, “I care about the success of this place and the complete satisfaction of my customers.” With typical modesty, Sandro Frusone boasts the food is better than ever. “Lower prices, too. Back to the ‘90s.” For Gnocchi and its customers, the second time is truly a charm.

Douglas William Caviness was born on May 15th, 1974 in Delaware County, Pennsylvania to two loving parents, Judy and David Caviness. The third of four children, Douglas remembers that the kitchen was the heart and soul of the Caviness household. His mother and grandmother were avid cooks, and his mom, an exceptional baker. Being a curious and helpful child, Douglas was cooking at a very young age. Cooking with his family, coupled with his fascination with cooking shows, is where his love for the culinary arts began. “Grillin and Chillin with Bobby Flay,” Martin Yan and earlier “Iron Chef” shows would fill his free time. In 1995, he would graduate from the Philadelphia Restaurant School. “I’ve been lucky,” Caviness commented, “I have had diverse culinary experiences, starting with my first job as a short-order cook at a local pizzeria to catering huge banquets and modest social gatherings.” In his 25 year career, Caviness worked in every facet of the culinary industry, from grilling and selling grilled cheese sandwiches at Grateful Dead concerts to managing the entire kitchen of a 4 star Philadelphia hotel. Caviness believes that he has been able to learn something from everywhere and everyone he has worked with, helping him become a well-rounded, open-minded and adventurous executive chef and manager. He also believes the consistent support and encouragement of his current boss, Jay Skaf, owner of Cascata Caffe, has helped make him who he is today. “I thrive for creative freedom and the dinner rush on a Saturday night,” Caviness explained, “I

love that cooking is not an exact science, there’s always room to experiment, try new things and improve.” 801 W. Sproul Road Springfield, PA 19064 Tel: 610.690.5430 cascata-caffe.com

Alan Angeloni Angeloni’s II Restaurant & Lounge Alan Angeloni grew up in the restaurant business in Trenton, New Jersey. At the age of 9, he was washing dishes and sweeping the bar room floor at his father’s first restaurant, The Villa Capri. His dad had previously owned a tavern in the 1950’s. At the age of 12, Angeloni was promoted to making pizzas and working behind the line for the grill and broiler. Soon after, he dove into the catering aspect of the business and at 18, he was behind the bar serving drinks. The expression “chief cook and bottle washer” may as well have been Angeloni himself! Angeloni’s II opened in Atlantic City in 1981. Both locals and visitors to Atlantic City have made Angeloni’s an AC tradition, the go-to spot for dinner and drinks before or after a show or night out on the town. The unwavering success of the restaurant over the past 35 years speaks for itself, and Angeloni couldn’t be more proud. “I’ve been very fortunate to last here through all the ups and downs of this fantastic city,” Angeloni commented. 35 years---that’s a lot more than luck! 2400 Arctic Avenue Atlantic City, NJ 08401 Tel: 609.344.7875 angelonis.com

Style Into Summer An Interview with the Stylists from One of Philly’s Premier Salons With summer now upon us, we asked a multiple award-winning salon to tell us all about the hottest trends and styles. The team of stylists at Jason Matthew Salon are on the very forefront of specialty hair services, offering the city’s best styling, color, extensions, and treatments. Everyone at Jason Matthew is completely devoted to staying on the “cutting edge,” so the team has been traveling around the country attending events and workshops to study with leading industry artists. They’re simply loving what they found! We sat down with some of them to talk about what they’re up to and what’s trending. So first of all, what are this season’s most sought after colors? Definitely metal and metallics. More than ever, women are asking for tones mimicking nature’s color palette. These shades and gradients can be found in things like molten rock and copper. Think bronzed blondes, polished platinum, rose gold and burnished brunettes. It’s nature’s twist on hair color!

What about the cuts? The fringe is in! Whether your hair is long or short, the hottest hair styles are rocking fringe to accentuate facial features and show off beautiful color tones. Longer hair can be finished with some beachy waves and you are good to go! What are you and your staff most excited about? Hair extensions are all the rage. Whether you are looking for short term or long term commitment, extensions are easy, sexy and fun. From semi-permanent to Jason Matthew’s own line of clip-in extensions, you change your look without actually changing your own hair. What type of training do you and your staff keep up with? Everything! We have hairstylists who are Wella Certified Master Colorists, Sassoon trained hair cutters, Great Lengths Extensions certified, Ouidad Curly Hair certified, Keratin Complex and Brazilian Blow Out certified, American Wave certified, and editorial styling specialists. We also have specialists in waxing and brow sculpting, make-up and eyelash extensions. Wow! So what would you say is the key to Jason Matthew Salon’s reputation?

Also, hair painting is ever-evolving and highly versatile, and we think it’s here to stay. Our colorists use a special technique that eliminates the traditional foil method and instead allows color to be painted directly onto the hair. These two trends are popping up everywhere from Hollywood to Rittenhouse Square.

From every hair type to every hair texture, color, cut and style, your hairstylist will be up-to-date on what’s hot on the red carpet. We pride ourselves on having specialists in every facet of hair. Our highly trained staff thrives on education and loves putting out the best of what clients are asking for.

Unforgettable

One Atlantic Events is Simply Perfect, Down to the Smallest Ingredient

View from One Atlantic terrace

What would you say if I told you that the best catered event youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever host or attend was 100 yards out to sea over the Atlantic Ocean? Hovering over the choppy waves amidst the busy and sometimes tacky architecture of Atlantic City, floats a comparatively celestial haven. This one-of-a-kind venue is poised atop The Playground at Caesars, enveloped in a hype-chic ambiance and surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, showcasing unforgettable views of the beach boardwalk and skyline. Just being in this space is enough to inspire delight, but

that is just a fraction of the elevated experience that One Atlantic Events brings to all of its custom events. The catering at One Atlantic Events is somehow more impressive than the view. From hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oeuvres to enormous banquets, the Executive Chef works with each individual host to plan the perfect menu for that particular event, executing everything with outstanding skill and inspired passion. Flexing an eclectic repertoire of tastes, cuisines, and styles, Head Chef Bill Fausey has yet to

Summer/Fall 2016

encounter a host he couldn’t encapsulate in a captivating menu. No two events are ever the same and they never fail to thrill guests with delicious surprises. Every bite is another page in a unique and important story, your story. What is perhaps most impressive about Chef Fausey and the entire staff at One Atlantic Events, is that their ability to tell your story through the medium of food could make J.K. Rowling jealous. “People have asked us to replicate old family recipes and meals from treasured memories of traveling abroad, and we are always able to hit the mark,” says Director Elizabeth McGlinn. The team at One Atlantic Events is not only capable of executing near-perfect offerings of their own, they are able to harness that talent and create the most intimate representation of the host, their family, their experiences, and their life. Imagine this: your most precious memory is when you and the love of your life got engaged over an unforgettable meal overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Years later, upon tying the knot under the majestic surroundings of One Atlantic Events, almost four thousand miles away, you experience the exact same dish, executed to an almost impossible level of similarity. Not only are you able to relive that memory, you are able to bring all your loved ones along with you to that special moment. Their cuisine is so beloved, the staff will even have tastings for past hosts who want to come back and sample the food from an event they hosted previously. It’s almost as if these people come back to be reunited with an exalted guest that was ushered into the event by Fausey himself. There is such a dedication to craft within One Atlantic Events that the food can literally take on a personality of its own, whether that is a representation of you and your loved ones or something completely new. This dedication to creatively offering the very best is reflected in not just the

30 jeatmag.com

space and the menu, but in the ingredients themselves. They even go as far as to have an in-house professional forager who works with local growers on everything from clam-digging excursions to strawberries planted and harvested specifically for an event. This is a level of commitment that is as commendable as it is uncommon. “What separates us is that everything we make is from scratch,” says Head Chef Bill Fausey, “and we are a farm-to-table operation. We try to locally source all of our food ingredients and create everything, including our hors d’ oeuvres, from scratch.” This thorough consideration also extends to their specialty cocktail service. An expert sommelier and renowned mixologist are just two of the passionate professionals who craft custom cocktails and devise food and wine pairings that are truly extraordinary. Whether showcasing offerings that are on the forefront of cocktail trends or a divine representation of the classics, your drink is sure to be as inspired as the view you take in while drinking it. In a town defined by decadence, it’s incredibly hard to stand out. With so much happening in Atlantic City, capturing the ‘wow factor’ is no easy charge for a host or event planner. One Atlantic Events is undoubtedly one of those rare experiences, a diamond among the semiprecious stones. It is impossible to gaze out from the roof-top terrace or look upon the amazing culinary displays and not be consumed by the majesty of it all. What sets this place apart from everything else in the city is that the grandeur and elegance is as much of the allure as the attention to detail. This is literally and figuratively the farthest away you can be from the rest of Atlantic City while still being in it, only 100 yards out to sea. 1 Atlantic Ocean Suite 4106 Atlantic City, NJ 08401 Tel: 609-343-9902 oneatlanticevents.com

Tradition Plays On At Francoluigi’s Franco Border, Owner Francoluigi’s is a 34 year old Italian eatery located in South Philadelphia that dares to break the rules. You won’t find tiny, trendy, fusion Italian specialties here. Instead, you will enjoy delicious chicken, veal or eggplant parmigiana, to-die-for mussels marinara and golden, crispy, flavorful fried calamari. If this is breaking the rules, then lock me up, with Momma’s Home Style pizza, of course. Your entrée maybe oversized, but Franco doesn’t want you to share it. He wants you to eat it and love every bite! Owner Franco Borda breaks another rule by combining his second passion, music, into your dining experience. Unlike

36 jeatmag.com

any other South Philly restaurant, your meal is accompanied by live piano music Friday and Saturday nights. Once a month, Franco offers Opera Night, showcasing the beautiful voices of his gifted opera company. Every last Thursday of the month, Francoluigi’s offers Mambo Italiano Night where anyone of his customers can join in with Pasquale the accordion player for an unforgettable Italian Open Mic Night. This summer, premier saxophone player George Young even performed in the small venue, providing an intimate evening of dining and music perfection. In talking to Franco, it reminded me of everything I love about South Philadelphia.

The loyalty, the passion, and the commitment of its characters. Franco started in the business over 40 years ago, with a love of great food and a love of music. He has taken those two passions and combined them to create a unique and very special dining experience. You can’t help but compare his establishment to the production of a musical. Franco is the conductor, his long-time staff is the orchestra. Together, they make beautiful music. Franco’s commitment to the restaurant is extraordinary. His efforts once resulted in a city inspector complimenting the spotlessness of their establishment. Franco is hell-bent on using local busi-

nesses when renovating the restaurant, a constant priority, as well as using local food purveyors. Franco is unwavering, he doesn’t stray from the tradition of old school southern Italian cooking that was passed onto him from his mother. And he refuses to stray from his love of music, no matter what millennials are tweeting, texting or taking pics of. He continues to steadfastly follow his passions, and for that, we are so grateful. Future plans for Francoluigi’s? Franco and local television host and producer, Ray Murray, are in the planning stages of Franco’s Table, a show that will highlight Philadelphia’s dynamic restaurant scene, taped directly from Franco’s gorgeously renovated South Philly rowhome. Is there another restaurant on the horizon? Franco says that isn’t out of the question. Perhaps a larger venue in Center City. One thing is for sure, he’ll never waver from his signature, traditional Italian menu. Complimented, of course, with a side of music.

While these three restaurants provide dramatically different cuisine and ambiance, they have one thing in common, the two people responsible for this small empire on the 9400 block of Ventnor Ave. There is no mood or appetite that one of these three restaurants cannot satisfy, and Johnny and Giovanna Liccio go above and beyond every day, surpassing the skyhigh expectations of every single guest. Together, these three restaurants are the jewels in Margate’s crown. So how does Margate’s most charming power couple make this block the ultimate destination on the island? There are two answers: experience and devotion. Johnny has been working in restaurants his whole life and has been making Johnny’s Cafe tick for over a decade. Additionally, Johnny and Giovanna have an unrivaled dedication to their entire community. They have enchanted regulars since it opened and they have chefs and servers that have been with them for just as long. This is possible only because these two understand that to lead successfully, you must foster unity.

We can’t, of course, forget about the newest gem in the crown of Margate’s restaurant scene. As the name would imply, there is a bit of whimsy in the air at Tipsy Taco. The staff is cheery and upbeat, the dishes flying out of the kitchen are vibrant and wonderfully aromatic, and the margaritas are as irresistible as they are colorful. But don’t let this whimsy fool you. Tipsy Taco benefits from the decades of experience and unparalleled quality that Johnny and Giovanna bring to the table. The food is somehow classic, inspired, and crowd-pleasing all at the same time. Johnny has a magical way of designing a menu that sounds fan-

tastic, looks amazing, and (impossibly) tastes even better. Standouts include the Mango and Lump Crab Guacamole, which is a testament to the unique menu and the impeccable execution of authentic Mexican cuisine. The Surf and Turf Tacos will leave your taste buds in a mad frenzy for the next bite. The worst part about this menu is that trying something new is always hard because the last dish you ordered was the best cheese smothered chicken enchilada you’ve ever had. As wonderful as the food is, perhaps the first thing you’ll notice are the margaritas. These massive cocktails have such a tremendous appeal they draw stares of envy from all the poor souls

walking past their front patio. Indeed, the worst crime would be to come to Tipsy Taco and not indulge in their namesake. There’s something for everyone, from the top shelf classics to the fruity concoctions that get you ready for a fiesta on the beach, at a price point that is beyond reasonable, I might add. Johnny and Giovanna haven’t just created restaurants, they’ve created a community, and a culture of hospitality that is a beacon for delight along the South Jersey shore. Tipsy Taco, like its predecessors, is just one of the priceless gems that line the 9400 block of Ventnor Ave, a place that people are quick to discover can offer anything the heart desires.

REFLECTIONS OF THE CITY Giovani’s Bar & Grill Really Does Have It All The stretch of Chestnut Street, just west of Broad, has a distinct character all its own. The ornate spires of Liberty Place towering above offer a sharp contrast to the aesthetic of the neighborhood; something so clean and polished over a street which is tremendously vibrant and alive. Just as the mirrored glass of those towers allow Philadelphia to see itself, so do some of the most beloved restaurants serve as a reflection of this city. What makes Giovani’s Bar & Grill truly special won’t slap you in the face upon entering. What will, however, is their mouth-watering assortment of gourmet pizza-by-the-slice. In fact, it’s so easy to be mesmerized by this panorama ranging from exquisitely simple

to perfectly decadent, that it would be easy to not give Giovani’s a fair shake. Don’t misunderstand me, Giovani’s has been and will probably always be one of the best places in the city to pop-in for a slice, but it would be criminal to never dig a little deeper into this treasure chest that is hidden in plain sight. As you move farther into the restaurant, you’ll notice two things. First, there’s a lot more coming out of that kitchen than just pizza. In fact, Simon Atiya and his Brother-in-law Haim have been dishing out fish tacos, Mediterranean cuisine, and some of the city’s best falafel for years. These Israeli restauranteurs began with Giovani’s in a more humble location about 12 years ago, where they earned the loyalty of the locals with any restaurants’ two best weapons: taste and consistency. When Giovani’s moved to its new home, they merged their highly regarded falafel bar with it. “We looked at this as an opportunity to do everything right, and we used our customers’ feedback to make that happen,” says Simon. Which brings us to the second item of mention when you push past the front: the space. You wouldn’t guess it from the window but Giovani’s opens up to be one of the most sleek, spacious, and

well-appointed sports bars in the city. You enter an entirely different mood back here. It is a place where you can sip a Manhattan after a long day, or meet your fellow fanatics to watch the game. The charging stations under every seat subtly say “stay a while” and are a sure sign that these partners really did listen to what their customers wanted. Back here during happy hour, you’ll find downtime from the insanity and during the evening hours, you’ll find live music and the best party around. So why exactly is Giovani’s a reflection of its surroundings? Because just like its neighborhood, Giovani’s has everything. “Chestnut Street has done a complete 180 in the last three years, and we’re proud to be able to cater to all different tastes.” says Simon. On a street where a dollar store sits next to luxury condos and world class dining is down the street from a fast food joint, Giovani’s simultaneously plays many roles. In short, it is exactly what you want it to be in that moment, and it does so flawlessly. It is a truly adaptive and refreshing experience along this jam-packed stretch. This is an area of the city that responds to what the people of Philadelphia want, and who would be surprised to learn that they want it all.

Homegrown Tomatoes Tomatoe’s in Margate is Keeping It Real All too often we see restaurants become popular, abandon their humble beginnings, and grow until they eventually become unrecognizable to their former selves. It’s a similar trajectory to a struggling actor turned overnight celebrity on a meteoric rise towards the A-list, who tragically collapses under the weight of their own success. In the end, there is a quiet dignity in embracing where you come from, and an art to moving forward while still embracing your past. Karen Sherman, co-owner of Tomatoe’s, has embraced those under-appreciated virtues and created a restaurant that never ceases to grow but also one that refuses to compromise on what made it great in the first place.

48 jeatmag.com

To truly appreciate the present, one must first understand the past. Karen and her husband, Carmen Rone, opened Tomatoe’s as a rather unassuming BYOB on Ventnor Avenue and stayed there for seven years, attracting the affections of the locals who quickly became regulars. “Since the very beginning, we were not just another red sauce place, we are about something more than just the same old thing.” says Karen. Tomatoe’s eventually moved towards the bay in a little neighborhood tucked away from its former locale. Today this area is a bustling nightlife scene and the area’s premier destination for the best restaurants, although you wouldn’t have recognized it eighteen years ago when Tomatoe’s first moved

there. “Back then people were just glad we weren’t another sports bar moving into the neighborhood!” Karen jests. Today, Tomatoe’s has a menu and interior that is both eclectic and exquisitely well-executed. There is an area of the restaurant to suit any mood and a dish to suit every taste. Karen is quite a progressive thinker when it comes to the menu. She’s always looking to experiment and add on to the already diverse offerings of everything from Italian standards to gourmet sushi. “Our food isn’t about a particular ethnicity or a particular style, it’s about using what’s fresh to make the best possible dish.” So now that Tomatoe’s has become this neighborhood’s treasured A-list celebrity, what exactly have they held on to that makes them who they are? In a word, loyalty. Tomatoe’s has always carried their regulars with them every step of the way; never betraying the hospitality that initially kept them coming back and always keeping the food unbelievably consistent. She even has kitchen staff that have been with her since their opening almost three decades ago. Karen and Carmen have always stayed loyal and connected to the people who make the restaurant special. “As much as I love food and experimenting with what’s fresh, there are some things that my customers simply won’t let me change.” And why would they? The crab pasta tastes exactly the same as it did 25 years ago, which is perfect. There’s always room to get better, but what’s the point if you don’t hold on to the good stuff? If you can forgive the pun, Tomatoe’s is an all-too-rare example of how a restaurant (or a celebrity) can age tastefully.

Fun Times on the Water Brian Miranda Is Putting the ‘Wonder’ Back In Wonder Bar Brian Miranda isn’t a life-long restauranteur. His story doesn’t start the same way you’ve heard a million times over; growing up as a bus boy and eventually realizing his dream to own a restaurant. No, Brian found himself the new co-owner of the Wonder Bar because he loves the community and found it to be a sound business move. As a successful Agency CMBS trader, Brian’s past life brings a skill set that was integral in transforming the Wonder Bar into what it always needed to be, a fun place. “I wanted to rebrand and redesign everything about this restaurant so that every time you come in here you’re guaranteed to have a great time” says Brian.

52 jeatmag.com

You feel it the instant you come in. The enormous wrap-around bar is centric to the main room, surrounded by tables overlooking the bay. The drastically remodeled space is sociable by design, allowing regulars and new guests to mix and mingle and the live music to fill every corner of the room. Outside, the tiki bar hangs over the water and looks down onto a 225 foot dock where people pull up on boats and wave runners. From the giant Jenga tower in the corner of the dining room to the ship’s wheel that’s spun for free giveaways every time the Albany Avenue draw bridge is raised, you get an overwhelming sense that this is a fun

place to be. Moreover, the people are in high spirits, smiling wide as they soak up the setting sun over a picturesque view of the water and a dynamite meal. But it hasn’t always been that way. A neighborhood institution dating back to 1945, the Wonder Bar is a local landmark. When Brian took over, he understood one fundamental truth his predecessors did not; it’s not about what the owner wants, it’s about what your regulars want. “People didn’t want to come here for white tablecloths and expensive entrees, they wanted to come here to have fun.” says Brian. He used his relationships with locals and feed-

back from loyal guests to shape the new vibe of the restaurant and they are continually bowled over by how much they love it. In addition to redesigning the restaurant he also made the menu much more affordable and even more delicious, featuring their long time standards like fresh seafood and steaks, but also opening it up to feature more casual hits like a spicy chipotle chicken and avocado wrap, which quickly became their top seller. In addition, their specialty cocktails are as vibrant and beautiful as the view and go down easy when you’re catching the bay breeze on the tiki bar.

But fun isn’t something that can be completely designed, it needs to be genuine, and Brian is most certainly that. You can always find him chatting with the regulars and new guests, buying them free rounds and honestly enjoying getting to know them. He has a sincere interest in seeing his business succeed through the enjoyment of his guests. Don’t get it twisted, Brian is a business man, but he understands that his business is hospitality and he cultivates such a positive vibe in such an enjoyable space that your only complaint will be that there’s no reason to leave.

RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE - Center City

ruthschris.com 1800 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19103 PH: 215.790.1515 Ruth had a certain way of doing things. How to run a restaurant. How to handcraft the perfect cocktail and maintain the best wine list in town. Of course, Ruth was a stickler for sourcing only the top 2% of the country’s beef and serving the best steak on a 500° sizzling plate (that’s so it would stay warm through the very last bite). She also insisted on making things fresh in-house daily, from fresh-squeezed juices for handcrafted cocktails to her own famous sides and desserts. Often, people would ask Ruth why her food was so good, and she’d simply say, “Just follow the recipe.” Located on 18th Street in the lobby level of the Sonesta Hotel, Ruth’s Chris Steak House Philadelphia is easily accessible via Suburban and 30th Street Stations, and Interstate 76, 676 and 95. It is surrounded by a lively mix of retail, entertainment and leisure destinations, situated within blocks of one of the country’s most historic square miles. Our state-of-the-art private dining space offers guests a unique setting for both business and social events. Whether it’s a business dinner, special celebration or romantic night for two, Ruth’s Chris Philadelphia will provide a dining experience you’ll remember long after the meal is done.

TRATTORIA GIUSEPPE - Newtown Square

Giuseppe Musso welcomes you to his trattoria and wishes you a splendid evening, dining on the many culinary delights he has prepared for you. Creating an authentic Italian ristorante, Giuseppe recalled his past experiences as a chef in Sicily and Switzerland by designing his unique sauces and specialties. Using southern Italian flair, he combines savory spices, cultivated seasonings, fresh vegetables, and delectable cheeses together with his array of tender meats, seafood, fish, and pastas. To complete the experience, Giuseppe has provided his guests with a dining atmosphere that is reminiscent of a restaurant located in a Sicilian piazza. With authentic Italian clay tile, wrought iron, marble, and wood fashioned together with stone and stucco. Giuseppe has produced a magnificent setting that will award his patrons a momentous evening in Italy.

“This reminiscently Sicilian spot boasts a bountiful selection of antipasti, starting with bruschetta, calamari fritto and many more of the usual suspects. If you haven’t filled up on these, proceed to the salad and pasta selections—all excellent. We also recommend the chicken cacciatore. Desserts run the gamut, from tiramisu to profiteroles.” - Main Line Today

JOHNNY’S CAFE – Margate

johnnyscafeventnor.com 9407 Ventnor Avenue Margate, NJ 08402 PH: 609.822.1789 Johnny’s Café offers an exquisite and elegantly plated menu of familiar favorites all in an upscale yet casual setting. In 2005, John Liccio opened Cookies & Cream, a small ice cream parlor serving homemade desserts. The parlor was a huge success and soon Liccio expanded the property, began serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Johnny’s Café was born. The ambience of the restaurant appeals to all ages, providing a comfortable and fun atmosphere for everything from a private party to an intimate date. On Friday nights, the restaurant becomes the venue for satisfied patrons to dance the night away, hosted by 98.1 WOGL DJ Bob Pantano. The food at Johnny’s is nothing short of delectable. Liccio, who began his career as a pastry chef in South Philadelphia, used his artistic instincts and attention to detail to create each and every dish. Combine that with an earnest commitment to the freshest possible ingredients and you’re left with an extensive menu of classics and favorites done to perfection. Johnny’s has received many awards, including “Best of the Shore” for both Breakfast and Night Life. They are also recognized for their support for the National Guard and the Army Reserve, as well as frequently supporting fundraisers for cancer and diabetes.

SOFIA RESTAURANT – Margate

sofiasmargate.com 9314 Amherst Avenue Margate, NJ 08402 PH: 609.822.9111 Refined white stucco, elaborate ironwork, elegant stone, and lush plant life combine to create an Old World oasis at Sofia in Margate. Step onto the beautiful veranda or dine in any one of the warm, cozy dining rooms and soak up the ambience. Sofia’s upscale casual atmosphere defines a niche all its own at the seashore. The Greco-Med cuisine features signature dishes like Shrimp Kataifi and Grilled Baby Octopus, giving way to succulent meat entrées. The star of the menu, of course, is perfectly grilled whole lavraki (European sea bass, or branzino) fresh from the Mediterranean. It is customary in Greece to entertain friends and family with unwavering hospitality and long, lavish feasts. Accordingly, Sofia not only offers authentic cuisine, it also embodies timeless traditions.

“It’s the food, under the auspices of Diamantis and prepared by Chef Adrienne Armenia, that makes folks return again and again. The menu is brimming with Mediterranean specialties because of all good flavors that enhance the main ingredient with lemon, herbs and oils and don’t overpower.” - Atlantic City Weekly
