FORK (Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia)
Longtime Philadelphia favorite Fork (it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017) remains popular for a reason: they get it right. From the farm-fresh cuisine (Fork was using local purveyors before it was a “thing”) to the earthy/hip, chic/soothing atmosphere, there’s a reason that Fork continues to draw in a mix of locals and visitors. Brunch is straightforward and delicious, fueled by the freshness of the food, with touches of creativity making for a series of unexpected delights. Sweet Amalia oysters, for instance, are paired with pickled rhubarb, while a yogurt parfait comes with pumpkin seed granola. Looking for something hearty? Their broccoli/swiss/caramelized onion omelet is perfect for vegetarians, while carnivores can add ham from Ely Farm, located in suburban Philadelphia. With such dishes as eggs and grilled sausage with romesco, poached eggs with polenta, and maple French toast, they keep it simple but with hints of the creativity that has long marked Fork. Have a seat on the sidewalk in nice weather and watch the Old City foot traffic go by or enjoy your brunch in the warm and inviting interior. Either way, it’s a guaranteed winner. 306 Market St., Philadelphia PA. Tel: 215-625- 9425. Brunch served Sunday 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. www.forkrestaurant.com
