Take a Wok Around Chinatown

breslowpartners events, info , , , , , 0 Comment

If you’re looking to do something a bit different in Philadelphia, then consider Chef Poon’s Wok N’ Walk Tour of Chinatown. The tour includes a walking tour of Philadelphia’s Chinatown and an amazing meal by award-winning Chef Poon himself. During the tour participants stop at a fortune cookie factory, a Chinese herbal medicine shop, a Chinese bakery, an Asian grocery store, a fish market, and more. After the tour, indulge in the four-course lunch or dinner cooked by Chef Poon and his staff. Personally, we think the tour is a great way to learn about the food, history, and culture of Philadelphia’s Chinatown in a way that’s interactive and delicious! Tickets are $60 a person. Tour takes place on select days throughout January, February, and March. For online reservations and tour calendar visit: http://www.josephpoon.com/

Hello food lovers, eat your heart out! Restaurant Week is gearing up again in Philadelphia and there is a ton to look forward to. Restaurant Week will take place January 22 to 27 and then again from January 29 to February 3, 2012. At select restaurants, participants can enjoy three-course, prix-fixe meals with prices at $20 for lunch and $35 for dinner. In the days leading up to Restaurant Week, certain restaurants will be offering cooking demos at The Market & Shops in the Comcast Center building.

Wish you could recreate some tasty recipes in your own kitchen? Well the Center City District is compiling recipes of Restaurant Week chefs to make a complete cookbook, Center City Cooks, which will be available at centercityphila.org. Restaurant Week has also teamed up with Philly Homegrown to promote local grown food on Restaurant Week menus and in the cookbook.

Check out Open Table for a full list of participating restaurants. If you’re interested in going to a cooking demo, visit centercityphila.org to see which chefs will be whipping up some delectable goodies. Bon appetite!
