Weekends are for brunch, and there are many yummy Philadelphia brunch spots in the area. There are several essential places you have to try in Philly. After a long night, brunch is the perfect remedy.

Before we get into the Philadelphia brunch spots you need to try, we need to discuss how awesome this meal is. It’s a combination of breakfast and lunch, arguably the two best meals of the day. You don’t have to get up early to make brunch, either. Most brunch services go into the afternoon. It’s nothing like when you show up to your favorite fast food joint JUST as they’re switching the breakfast menu over at 11 am sharp. There’s more leeway with brunch. Thank goodness

Plus, it’s the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Healthy and greasy. You can get pancakes and bacon or avocado toast. You can get a walnut salad or a burger with a fried egg on top. It doesn’t matter. There aren’t restrictions on what flavor profile you should be eating at that time of day. If you want waffles at 1 pm, that’s fine. A grain bowl at 9 am? Sure! It’s so freeing.

Here are 6 yummy Philadelphia brunch spots:

These spots in Philly know just how important brunch is in society. That’s why they offer it. If you’re looking to engage in the great concept of brunch, look no further than this list to know where to go.

The Landing Kitchen

The Landing Kitchen is an all-day café. It’s not stuffy. It’s a great casual option for the beautiful combo of breakfast and lunch foods on the same menu. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Try one of their “Walktails,” a casual take on the mixed drinks we all know and love.

Green Eggs Café

This is one of those quintessential brunch spots. They only serve breakfast, lunch, and brunch. They also, have six locations in Philly, making them seriously convenient to get to when you need a pick-me-up. The menu is LEGIT. They have a build-your-own oatmeal option, plus tons of skillets that will heal your soul.

Honey’s Sit ‘N Eat

This is a magical place that serves breakfast ALL DAY. Honey’s Sit ‘N Eat is a cool take on food. It’s Tex-Mex and Jewish food combined. The owners drew from their Southern and East Coast roots to make something truly unique. I mean where do you ever see “orange cardamom pancakes” on a menu? Here!

La Llorona Cantina

Tortas at brunch? Say less. What’s a torta, you ask? A cure-all. It’s a classic Mexican sandwich, with breaded chicken, avocado, tomatoes, queso fresco, dijon, mayo, red onion, Frito beans, homemade pickled jalapenos, and carrots. La Llorona is a laid-back Mexican restaurant that doesn’t shy away from the classics. Their brunch menu is super unique, and their omelets feature all the kick you’d expect.

Cake

Cake has a stellar Sunday brunch. Being part restaurant, part bakery, their pastries are to die for. While you’re there, you can place an order for a custom cake, which is so cool. Their breakfast burrito is jam-packed and scrumptious. Plus, the interior is airy, light, and super pretty.

The Love

Is it really a brunch list if we don’t include The Love? The menu is stacked. The swanky spot is just steps away from Rittenhouse Square. The combo of indoor and outdoor seating makes it easy for you to get the experience you’re looking for. Try their take on Nashville Hot Chicken if you need a spicy pick-me-up.

7 Foods In Your Fridge To Throw Out After A Power Outage

Storms rolled through the Delaware Valley on January 9, 2024, with high wind speeds knocking out power in certain areas. If you were affected, here are 7 foods in your fridge to throw out after a power outage.

Food safety is a must. According to guidelines from the CDC, if you lose power for more than four hours, and the food in your fridge is not kept cold by some other external method, there are things you need to toss.

It is paramount that you use your best judgment. Get rid of any food you feel is unsafe to eat. Spoiled food may make you and your family sick. If you choose to keep these foods, at least check them for any discoloration, odor, or unusual texture. Though, it is definitely safest to get rid of these foods.

Once again, if your power went out for four hours or more, and these perishables in your fridge were not kept cold, it is safest to throw them away. It is best to avoid the risk of you or someone else getting sick. These suggestions will prevent food-related illness.

Here are 7 foods in your fridge to throw out after a power outage:

Meat

Raw meats such as pork and beef will not be safe to eat after over four hours of no power to your fridge. If there is an unusual odor or color, be especially vigilant in disposing of the meat.
Poultry

The same goes for poultry. These meats pose a salmonella risk if not kept properly cold. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so chuck it.
Fish

And another protein that follows this guideline, of course, is fish. Fish is not good to consume if left unrefrigerated for over four hours. Make sure you toss it!
Eggs

Eggs are another risky food. Be sure to throw them out, or at least check them prior to use if you intend on keeping them.
Leftovers

Exercise caution with leftovers. While the food was technically cooked prior to the power going out, bacteria may grow in leftover containers in your fridge if it is not cold.
Milk

If it smells bad, it probably has gone bad. Cow’s milk especially does not hold up well without refrigeration. Pour some out to see if it has a strange texture. Toss it to avoid consuming spoiled milk!
Cut Fruits and Vegetables

While not as risky as others on this list, you may want to check your pre-cut fruit or vegetables after a power outage. If the fruits or vegetables are a weird color or smell bad, it may be safest to throw them out. The emphasis here is on the word cut. The exposed sides may go wonky without refrigeration.
