There are a lot of people in this world that consider themselves "foodies". We are not them. We are simply self-proclaimed fat kids who love food. There is no yuppie self-gratification to our love of food, it just is. While a foodie may go into an establishment and think they know better than the chef, manager, waitstaff, etc... we go into restaurants and eat. And, if the restaurant is good, we enjoy.
We are not chefs. Let's get this out of the way quickly. While my lovely counterpart can at least cook, I cannot. At all. Did you know that it's possible to burn popcorn on the stovetop to the point where your whole house will fill with smoke and your roommate (and fellow fat kid) is left gasping for air in between laughing at you? I know this from brutal experience.
Krystina and I have been enjoying food together for about four years now. We started in Charleston, SC where we devoured our way through oyster bars, dive bars, and restaurants that weren't bars at all! First, she left town. Later, I followed suit. And now, we're here in Philly together.
Philadelphia has lots of good food. The restaurants that we approve on this website are hardly a comprehensive list, and to be honest, we probably needed to start this ages ago to include all the places in town that really kind of rock. Buuuuut, better late than never, so we'll start now.
Want to know what we thought of Sampan? Come back tomorrow. We've got lots to say.
