Wyebrook Farm for Philadelphia Daily News

image

I wrote about Chester County’s Wyebrook Farm and its unique relationship with Philly chefs for the Daily News. Still getting used to the new web situation — enter promo code X74J to read. Not sure how long it’s good for, so hop to it! (UPDATE: Here’s another version of the piece on philly.com.)

I usually try to avoid getting shot photographed when I’m covering something, but looks like the talented Eric Cressman caught me. Ignore my goofy grill and enjoy the gesticulation-off between Michelle and Jon.

A few Instas from our trip there.

Rounded up a bunch of impending bar and restaurant openings in Philly for CityEats. Hard to narrow it down to just 10…so much happening here in the city this year. Fun to see.
