Philly Spotlight: VENDY AWARDS Recap 2015
Highlight: Vendy Awards Philadelphia 2015 This was my 2nd year attending the Philadelphia Vendy Awards (click for T&T 2014). And although I knew I had a big wedding to go to that evening, I still made a pig of myself and tried something from almost every booth. But how else are you going to vote honestly otherwise? The Vendy Awards is an annual (5th Annual for Philly) street food competition series that determines the “best of the best” in street food.

D’Artagnan Event Recap with Chef Ariane Daguin
I attended an event at one of my favorite spots in Philadelphia – the Philadelphia Art Alliance, (251 S 18th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103) which not only curates wonderful exhibits during the year, but it’s a lovely venue for cocktail parties and soirees. Currently Chef Pierre Calmels, is the executive chef of Le Chéri, a French Bistro, which makes its home on the premises.
