Philadelphia’s food scene may be best known for cheesesteaks, water ice and soft pretzels, but the city’s culinary culture is so much more.
Nearly every type of food can be found throughout Philly’s diverse neighborhoods, with many entrepreneurs bringing their families’ traditional flavors to a broader audience. These small businesses literally nourish their communities and contribute to the city’s vibrant atmosphere, and these founders are driven to serve by their passion for hospitality.
