Santucci's Square Pizza

We ordered a mushroom and onion pizza for delivery from Santucci's Square Pizza the other week, and, yep, it really is as good as people say.

A small, local pizza chain with six location in Philly, Santucci's is known for it's square pizza with cheese on the bottom and sauce on the top. Not spending time north of the city where five of their original venues are located, I had never heard of Santucci's until they decided to open up shop near the Italian Market, and every person squealed with joy from print and social media.

A Santucci's square pizza starts with seasoned cast iron pan, which cooks up a sturdy and chewy crust. The crust is topped with mozzarella cheese, then the pizza is crowned with a deep red, thick, perfectly seasoned, herb-flecked sauce.

Santucci's makes a damn fine pizza. No, really. Every one at the table actually took a moment after eating the first slice to comment on how good it was. From crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings, there was not a thing to complain about.

As far as classic pizzas go, it's one of the best eat-in-front-of-the-tv pizzas I've had. They even managed to thoroughly cook, but not dry out the mushrooms!

Not sure I'll ever make it into their casual restaurant for a sit-down dinner, but I'm hoping for more rushed days to come around as an excuse to order another pizza from Santucci's.

They also do soups, salads, sandwiches, strombolis, pastas, flatbreads, and wings. If there are standouts on the menu other than the pizza, please let me know, and we might add it to a future delivery.

Tacos mi Pueblito

Have y'all seen the silver Mexican food truck that parks near the corner of Washington Ave. and 8th St? I don't think I've heard nary a peep or mention of the nondescript, silver box truck hawking Mexican fare from the Philly foodie community. The truck's name is Tacos mi Pueblito, but is written so tiny on an advertisement poster that it's hard to find.

What caught my eye when I noticed the truck's appearance last fall is that the handwritten poster board menu plastered to the side of the truck expressly listed a handful of items as vegetarian. Failed lunch attempts last fall, then a miserable winter where no one would dare eat on the street kept me away, but I finally got on over to Tacos mi Pueblito a couple of weeks ago.On our visit the poster board menu had recently been ripped off the side of the truck unbeknownst to the owners, so when we asked what was available, they just pointed to the side of the truck. I had to tell them that their menu was missing, which is a shame because, besides wanting to post a photo of the menu, without a menu or the name of their business plastered prominently, it's hard to tell what they're selling. A week later, a new food menu had not appeared that I could snap a pic of, so I'm going on with the post. Just know that they sell standard Mexican fare — tacos, quesadillas, tortas, horchata, and Mexican sodas.
Vegetarian tacos are a corn tortilla piled high with refried beans, seasoned rice, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, queso fresco, and crema with radish slices and lime wedge on the side. One of these is pretty filling.The vegetarian torta has the exact same fillings as the vegetarian tacos, but in even larger quantities. The toasted, soft sandwich roll is monstrous. Order a torta if you are starving.

Green and red salsas are available, and the green is their mild. The green is pretty hot, so we haven't even sampled the red, yet.

Tacos mi Pueblito is good, and they're certainly generous with their ingredients, but the food is pretty standard Mexican fare. With so many other traditional Mexican restaurants in that area along Washington Ave. and the Italian Market, I'm not sure I'd seek out Tacos mi Pueblito for a dining experience, but grab-and-go, on-the-street convenience is sometimes just what you want, especially if your main mission in the area is shopping the markets.

Also, Tacos mi Pueblito advertises some of their menu items as vegetarian (when there's a menu!), so that's something, although, I never 100% trust traditional Mexican restaurants on their vegetarian claims when refried beans and seasoned rice are involved.

Monsú

The beauty of living in the heart of a city like Philadelphia is that you can walk to almost any destination, and I take full advantage of this by walking to almost all of the restaurants and bars I visit. Unfortunately, restaurants that fall outside of the 2.5-mile radius from my house (what I consider walkable for dining) will probably never be visited, even if they are at the top of my "to-do" list.

Modo Mio, the raved-about Italian restaurant by chef and owner Peter McAndrews is just such a restaurant that has been on my "to-do" list for years, but the Girard Ave. restaurant is a bit of a hike, and getting in a car to go out to dinner in the city is against my constitution (plus someone has to abstain from drinking if driving, and that's no fun).

That's why I was very excited when McAndrews opened Monsú, a Sicilian restaurant located in the Italian Market at the location of what was his former sandwich shop, Paesano's (Paesano's got scooted down the block to 1017 S. 9th St.).

I guess McAndrews had such great success in having a second location of Paeasano's (original is on Girard Ave.), he decided to bring Italian fine dining in the line of what he's doing at Modo Mio to South Philly.

Whatever the reasoning for opening up Monsú, I certainly appreciate not having to walk from South Philly to Girard Ave. for McAndrew's Italian cuisine.

Not much changed to the bones on the corner building at 9th and Christian, but the interior got a little spiffier with plush, burgundy banquettes lining the walls, and linen-topped tables set with large chargers. I'd like to see the chargers removed, as they barely fit on the small tables, stealing valuable table-top real estate. Incongruous with the formal table setting, there are paper napkins.

Seating is tight in the small room, so be sure to make a reservation, as McAndrews and his restaurant ventures already have a good reputation. And bring a bottle of wine and cash, because Monsú is byob and cash only.Nothing on the menu is over $20, but if you don't eat meat, your entree will be considerably less. Monsú is not a vegetarian haven, but there is at least one, if not more, vegetarian selections in each menu section.

Dinner is started with a basket of bread and a tasty, if not oily, classic Sicilian eggplant caponata. Not normally a pre-dinner bread eater, I had a slice just to try the caponata, then just ate the sweet and savory caponata straight out of the dish with a fork, oil be damned. The only vegetarian selection in the antipasti section was grilled smoked Mozzarella topped with a dressed watercress salad, plated with prickly pear puree. The crispy crust on the Mozzarella gave way to warm, melted cheese with a compelling, savory smokiness. I don't think I've had Mozzarella I liked better.
We headed to the sides section of the menu to find another vegetarian starter. Curious about sweet and sour pumpkin we placed our order, and were a bit surprised to have a cold dish of pumpkin arrive. Delicious, nontheless, the cold slices of roasted pumpkin were not overly sweet or sour, but seasoned subtly with orange zest and topped with grated cheese.For my main, I went with the creamy, ricotta-filled ravioli topped with zucchini, hazelnuts, and mint. The sauce was only the bit of oil from the sauteed zucchini and hazelnuts, so no heavy oil slick here. Simple, with each component's flavors distinct but harmonious. Fabulous.The semolina cake was described as flan in cake-form, and the description does the moist, grainy, dense cake with sweet, caramel crust justice. A good, and well executed dessert, but, for some reason, did not endear even the flan-lover at our table.The vanilla cream-stuffed profiteroles with chocolate-hazelnut icing could have been great, but the pastry was a little crispy and the icing hardened in spots, tasting a bit day-old.

Overall, a pretty good first go at Monsú, and I'll certainly be back.

Menus at Modo Mio and Monsú are different, and I probably still should check out Modo Mio one day, but, dang Monsú is much more convenient for me.

Monsú also does a daily brunch which has the obligatory French toast, but skews more Italian lunch, so could be just the thing you're looking for if, like me, you are thoroughly bored with most eggs-and-French-toast brunch menus.

The New Teri's

My review of Teri's in the Italian Market last year was titled Teri's: Day and Night because the casual lunch and brunch diner did a swithceroo at night, bringing out linens and candles for the padded aqua diner booths that saw the likes of scrambled eggs and sandwiches during the day, to serve up fancy 3-course prix fixe dinners at night.

Teri's has pulled another switcheroo on us with the addition of a liquor license at the beginning of July this year. Gone are the evening linens and thoughtfully prepared BYOB dinners, and in it's place are Megatouch machines atop a new bar and the most basic of late night bar foods. The aqua booths are still there and so is the 7-day-a-week brunch with their 2010 award-winning Bloody Marys. No, seriously, they won an award. The massive trophy is on the bar.You can't fault a restaurant for changing their game plan in an attempt to stay afloat in this economy, and I truly hope that the quirky and casual Teri's has hit upon a good thing with their new liquor license and casual nighttime fare, because there's just something about the vibe going on at Teri's that makes me feel good.
The alcohol seems to have done the trick, along with a later-than-usual happy hour from 6-8pm (more accommodating for me and anyone else that must go home first before hitting the town), as I've never seen Teri's so full in the evening.

Groups of friends were smashed in a booth sharing $2 happy hour cans of Sly Fox, and couples were at the bar drinking $3 happy hour alcoholic frozen drinks from a swirly machine behind the counter. Every 5 minutes some eager soul would walk through the door to buy a six-pack of beer to go.

On weekend evenings, a DJ sets up in the back of Teri's where there is a bit of dead space to create a club-like feel that just doesn't add much to Teri's kitschy Italian Market diner dive bar ambiance, at least for me. I'd like to see that space used for a jukebox and a couple of pinball machines.My strawberry daiquiri was sweet and didn't pack much wallop, so the $3 happy hour price tag was about right. Next time I'll steal the shot from the $4 can of beer and shot of Canadian Club combo to punch up the happy hour frozen strawberry daiquiri, pina colada or margarita.Gone are the chef's producing any food that requires much skill. Onion rings, fries, Mozzarella sticks, and jalapeno poppers are all frozen. A couple salads and tuna salad. Burgers, eggplant or chicken parm sandwich, and a tuna salad sandwich are all that's on the short bar menu.

Word is that the menu is changing soon to include more options, and even more vegan fare. Also, more beer taps are coming to supplement their small-ish (for Philly) inventory of tap, can, and bottle craft beers.
Teri's vegan "tuna" salad sandwich is served on toasted sliced bread along with a dill pickle spear and a small side of food-service coleslaw. I like my chickpea "tuna" salad with a healthy sprinkling of dill or sweet pickle relish to liven up the mash, so Teri's bland salad left me less than thrilled. But I sure would be thrilled to see that sandwich if I were a starving drunk vegan that didn't want to leave my bar seat and search elsewhere.
A tad more tasty is the eggplant cutlet sandwich on a hoagie roll with your choice of cheese and sauteed spinach for an extra $1 (you can also choose red peppers, mushrooms or bacon). Marinara sauce would be a welcome addition to bring moisture and more flavor to the sandwich.

Teri's is no gastropub. There aren't 20+ craft beers on tap. Cocktails don't contain floral essences and seven other esoteric ingredients. Burgers and onion rings are not making anyone's best-of list. Teri's is, basically, now a dive bar that also serves breakfast and lunch.

But Teri's has this unique charm, almost like some diner dive bar you'd find in your favorite small college town — minus the college kids, of course. Next time you want a cheap drink in South Philly, but don't feel like being sardined into The P.O.P.E. or Royal Tavern, give Teri's a try. Just don't knock me out of first place on Erotic Photo Hunt. I spent hours getting there!

Paesano's In The Italian Market

Don't ask how one ends up at Paesano's South Philly Italian Market location when they're in the mood for a light lunch, because there's nothing light about the award-winning and inventive "Philly style sandwiches with Italian inspiration."

Unlike the shoebox-sized flagship location on Girard Avenue, Paesano's southerly location actually has tables inside to sit at and room enough for the line to form inside the building. Don't count on a table, though, if it's prime dining time.
With the larger location there also came an expanded sandwich menu. On my Girard Ave. visit last year there was only one vegetarian sandwich (the Panelle), but now there are two veggie sandwiches. And with daily specials, there just might be three!
I'm pretty blasé about most eggplant sandwiches, but the Giardina moved me to emotion. Hells yeah, someone finally put some umph into roasted eggplant on a roll! Fennel, peppers, fresh Mozzarella and basil pesto to be exact. That basil pesto is the real umph maker.
The Greco was one of the specials of the day, and is Paesano's best attempt at making a humus and veggie sandwich interesting. The humus, iceberg lettuce, grilled zucchini, and Feta made me yawn, but the pickled onions and healthy squirt of Sriracha woke me up.

Don't think I'd bother to order the Greco or the Panelle again, but I'll bestow upon the Giardina the award of best vegetarian eggplant hoagie. Here's hoping Paesano's keeps getting creative with the veggie sandwiches and makes another winner.

Tortilleria y San Roman

Hi, I've been walking around the Italian Market blind — more like focusing intently on the ground so as not bruise shins on suddenly halting carts being pulled by old ladies, or step in puddles of fish juice — and was wondering if you have, too?

'Cause did you know that there's a tortilleria at the corner or 9th and Carpenter churning out fresh tortillas? Neither did I. And it's apparently been there for about a year. Seriously, where have I been?For $1, we got a half kilo of warm, fresh tortillas (16 total in this paper wrapped package). A kilo will cost you $2. I like simple math.

Bebe's Banana Pudding

Update: no longer open.

This is just a reminder that the banana pudding at Bebe's is yummy yums. While this take-out container of warm pudding chock full of banana slices and softened Nilla Wafers may not be food porn-tastic, it tastes authentically down home Southern. Topped with toasted meringue, the large pan of banana pudding is a bit prettier before being heaped into a take-out container. And time your visit as to how you like your pudding — go early for soft wafers with a little crunch left in the center; late in the day for soft, almost disintegrated wafers.

Teri's: Day & Night

While I've walked past Teri's, the Italian Market diner just south of Washington St., a million times, it wasn't until word got around that Teri's pulled out the linens and candles at night to become a fine dining BYOB destination that I actually took notice.
During the daytime, Teri's serves a very reasonably priced breakfast and lunch (nothing over $8.50). Go on a weekend, like we did, and you can call it brunch!

Inside you'll find a long, narrow diner with aqua booths and green walls, and an open kitchen. Very casual; very diner-ish.

On the menu: eggs, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, sausage, and other breakfast standards; plus burgers, crab cakes, pulled pork sandwiches, and spare ribs.
I went with the French toast with sauteed bananas and cashews (pecans were what actually arrived). I was immediately transported back to Mom's French toast on Saturday mornings, and this is a good thing.

The banana French toast at $6 is Teri's fancy French toast, and it's a more reasonable and sane breakfast than some of the massive dessert-like French toasts out there. But, you know, I think I'll hit up the $3.75 plain ol' French toast next time, 'cause Mom didn't do bananas or nuts.

Oh, and I'll hit up the roasted corn pancakes with chive butter (minus side of glazed ham) next time, too. Knew about these beauties from watching this video, but spaced it when ordering.
My partner had the three egg cheese omelette with spinach, side of home fries, and toast. This omelette was large, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and stuffed generously, but not overstuffed, with perfectly garlicky sauteed spinach. I'm not an omelette person (too much egg), but this was one of the better omelettes I've tasted.

Home fries are thinly sliced potatoes that are of the kind not cooked to a crisp, and are also perfectly seasoned. I know there are crispy and non-crispy camps when it comes to home fries, but even crispy-boy got behind these taters!
Interested in what goes on in Teri's at night, we hit it up again, this time bringing a bottle of wine to take advantage of their BYOB/no-corkage-fee policy. Teri's also offers a $30, three-course, prix fixe deal in the evening.
Ooh, table cloths and candles are laid out, the server is dressed all in black, and jazz is playing in an attempt to make the diner classy!

No, you won't confuse Teri's at night with other fine dining establishments, but the combo of diner kitch and linen class is so charming and honest, it feels like home -- or your friend trying to spiff up his apartment for that special dinner. So cute!

Our server at night, John, was the same server we had during the day, and whether he's wearing jeans and a t-shirt for the day shift, or all black for the night shift, he is the perfectly attentive and appointed server.
Warm, toasted Italian bread with sesame seeds accompanied by butter was complimentary.We started with eggplant rolatini, an off-the-menu appetizer special of baked, sliced eggplant rolled around herbed Ricotta, topped with melted Mozarella, tomato sauce, and basil chiffonade. With the first bite of this dish, I knew the rest of the night was going to be good. I breathlessly exclaimed, "Excellent," when our server asked how everything was, and I never say that.

Eggplant is a difficult vegetable to prepare because of it's potential bitterness, but the thinly sliced eggplant had no bitterness. And the scant tomato sauce was in perfect proportion, avoiding drowning the delicate eggplant rolls.

Seriously, these eggplant rolatini might be one of the best Italian dishes I've eaten in a long time.
The boy went with the tilefish with white beans and sauteed spinach. Again, everything was perfectly seasoned.
I was happy to see the butternut squash ravioli came with roasted corn and an herbed cream sauce instead of the greasy, butter sage sauce that usually accompanies butternut squash ravioli. At first, it was a little weird biting into chewy, roasted corn kernels with a forkful of ravioli, but it was a happy marriage. The butternut squash filling was sweet and plentiful inside the large pasta pockets.

Service was perfect at Teri's. No rushing from our server, comfortable breaks between courses, and the food was pipin' hot out of the kitchen. We were genuinely encouraged to stay and finish our bottle of wine after the check arrived, and the chef even thanked us on the way out.

Because of the quality of the food (grub's great), more than reasonable prices (a bargain), excellent service (John is awesome), and honest atmosphere (no salvaged European fixtures, or saucy plate flourishes), I don't think I've had a more pleasant dining experience in a long time. I cannot recommend Teri's enough, for brunch or for dinner.

But what worries me is that we were one of only two tables dining in during our brunch visit, and during our dinner visit. Show Teri's some love and get on down there. Don't sleep on this gem!

Bebe's Biscuits

Update: no longer open.

Finally, a weekend came around after my first encounter with Bebe's Barbecue where Bebe's wasn't closed for a holiday (Mother's Day), wasn't offering a limited menu (Italian Market Festival), or I wasn't out of town (wedding), so this past weekend I got my biscuits!

Bebe's Barbecue only bakes up biscuits on Sunday, making this menu item a little trickier to get than their other rotating menu items (check the large menu on the wall to see what's checked as available for that day). I was pleasantly surprised when they said they had two kinds of biscuits that day -- regular and spicy. Regular being plain ol', cut, round biscuits baked on a tray, and spicy being drop biscuits made with their barbecue spice rub and baked in a cast iron skillet (they pulled the tin foil back from the cast iron skillet to show them to me). One of each, please!

Biscuits come out of the oven at 9 am on Sundays, and it's recommended for optimal eating that you eat them fresh out of the oven. At around noon, Bebe's was a little concerned about the biscuits' quality, so sold them at half price and instructed to stick them in a high oven for five minutes to reheat them before eating. Done and done!The regular biscuit was a little over browned on the top, but was a light, tender biscuit. Not mind blowing, but certainly a worthy biscuit. Don't know for certain, but the biscuit did not taste like it was made with a Southern flour, which is what biscuits need to be made with if striving for a perfect biscuit. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to purchase such flour around here (I've never seen it, so run it up by car when visiting home). The wedge-shaped, spice rub, drop biscuit baked in a cast iron skillet was excellent, and much lighter and tenderer than the regular biscuit (I'm convinced that the more you touch and roll biscuit dough, the tougher the biscuit becomes, and this side by side of a cut biscuit and a drop biscuit helps my theory). And it's barbecue flavored!

I would have never thought to add barbecue spice rub to a biscuit, but it's great. If you like barbecue flavored potato chips (love 'em!), snag one of these if you can. Bebe's says they are experimenting with biscuit flavors -- like spice rub and pepper -- so who knows what kinds of biscuits might show up on Sundays. I'm hoping they keep the spice rub biscuit in the rotationAnd, duh, I picked up some mac and cheese. This serving seemed a little different and creamier than my first try where I declared the mac and cheese as good as my Mom's. This order was warm, verging on hot, as opposed to the first order which was slightly warm, verging on cold, and I think this might have been the difference. Personally, I think Southern-style mac and cheese is a dish best served as a leftover, and better when the dish cools and the cheese firms back up. Note to self and all y'all: let the mac and cheese cool down before eating it.

Bebe's Barbecue

Update: no longer open.

With the recent trip to Q Barbecue, and their disappointing sides still haunting me, I had to get myself pronto to the less than month-old barbecue joint, Bebe's Barbecue, to see if I could find better.

Named for the owner's grandmother, Bebe's is a casual Southern barbecue joint residing in an unlikely site -- the heart of South Philly's Italian Market. What Bebe's has going for it is the owner and chef is a real Southerner -- North Carolina-born and Mississippi-raised Mark Coates -- so I thought for sure I'd fare better than my last Southern side adventure.

Not only did I fare better, but I struck gold!
Ah, this is how you present a barbecue house! Bebe's is very simple inside, with only stools and a long counter lined with small paper trays of complimentary roasted peanuts, mustard tins filled with wet-naps, paper napkin dispensers, and bottles of hot sauce running along one wall , and, across the way (real estate is narrow in Philly), a register and Mark himself scooping up barbecue and sides from a line of warming pans.
All the sides at Bebe's are vegetarian, which is certainly not the norm -- collards and beans, baked or otherwise, at most places usually have pork -- but making sides vegetarian is easy to do without compromising the dish, and is very much appreciated by this girl. We ordered one of every side available that day (fresh corn wasn't available) and chose to walk around the corner to dine at Bardascino Park, which conveniently has picnic tables.
You know I ate the mac and cheese first! It looks right -- not made with a cheese sauce, but real Southern mac and cheese with bits of cheese visible. And it tastes right -- cheesy, but not greasy. This is the real deal Southern mac and cheese, not the ubiquitous, fancy "restaurant" stuff. Bebe's mac and cheese is done right without being overly greasy, as grease is the downfall of most Southern-style mac and cheeses. It's the closest I've ever come to eating mac and cheese like my Mom makes, so Bebe's hit the ball out of the park with this one, and won my affections!
The coleslaw is a finely shredded, Dixie-cut cabbage and carrots with mustard seeds, and dressed with a sweet and slightly spicy vinegar dressing. I have maybe a slight preference for coleslaw with creamy dressings, but loved this vinegar heavy coleslaw. Honestly, I love all styles of coleslaw.
The collards are scooped out of a hot bath of pot liquor before landing on your plate. The large leaves are slow cooked in the traditional way, so are soft, but nothing near as mushy and over boiled as I've experienced at some places.
The cornbread is just as it should be -- not sweet! I actually like both non-sweet Southern cornbread and sweet Yankee cornbread (yeah, that's what it's called), so can go either way, but if you're serving Southern cuisine you can't serve sweet cornbread without being called out as a fraud. My partner thought the cornbread was dry, but I had to remind him that this is not the sweet, cakey kind, and, in fact, Bebe's cornbread is not dry (I've had dry cornbread before, and it's nearly impossible to swallow, and this was certainly not the case with Bebe's cornbread).
One of Bebe's sides is sweet potato puree, and I have to admit that I've never had sweet potato puree. Bebe's sweet potato puree is a little too sweet and a little too heavily spiced with cinnamon and other spices, but certainly plate-licking enjoyable. I thought the puree was a little thin and difficult to eat out of the foil cups Mark made to keep the puree from running all over the plate, and would be much better presented as sweet potato souffle -- essentially a less runny sweet potato puree that's been baked and stiffened with egg. If sweet potato souffle -- a favorite family dish right up there with mac and cheese -- took the place of the puree, I'd slap a dress on Mark and make him my surrogate mom!
Bebe's offers little pies for dessert, and on our visit sweet potato pie with a struesel top was the pie of the day. Other than maybe needing a couple more minutes in the oven to brown the crust a little more, this firm and creamy sweet potato pie was right on. I felt like I was sitting at my family's Thanksgiving table! And you gotta have iced sweet tea! Bebe's sweet tea is excellent...sweet enough to be called sweet tea, but not so sweet it makes you cringe. And certainly not made with some fancy fruit tea blend, which has it's place, but not here. Just straight-up, righteous sweet tea!

Bebe's also serves biscuits on Sunday. I returned on the Sunday immediately after my first visit in an attempt to sample a biscuit (and get some mac and cheese and coleslaw), but, sadly, they were closed for Mother's Day. I'm gonna get a biscuit, and, when I do, I'll report back. Update: got 'em!

Of course, I can't tell you about the barbecue, but if the sides are any indication of the quality and authenticity of the food Bebe's is serving, that barbecue is sure to be good. It looks good!
