From the L'Aube Website:
...All foods are fresh, local, and mostly organic...bought through special arrangements at WholeFoods, Trader Joe’s, farmers markets, and DiBruno Bros gourmet.
Jean-Luc is a master coffee roaster whose L’Aube Torrefaction www.laubecoffee.com coffee and espresso blends are quickly becoming known as one of the best on the East Coast. All coffees are roasted and brought fresh to the café, and all beans are sourced single-origin from Rainforest Alliance plantations, individually by Jean-Luc.
Come hang out, surf the net, and enjoy coffee and French cuisine for the average person in the streets — You.
From The Reading Market Website:
...The Market is home to more than 80 merchants, two of whom are descendants of the original standholders from a century before. On any given day one can find an eclectic array of fresh baked Amish goods, produce direct from the field, unusual spices, free range meats and poultry, flowers, ethnic foods, and much more. One hundred thousand Philadelphians and tourists pass through the Reading Terminal Market every week enjoying its exceptional products, history, and people.
***I recommend Beck's Cajun Diner with it's selection of Cajun Fries, PoBoys, and FRIED ALLIGATOR while Stephen prefers the roast pork sandwiches that were featured on the Food Network (TM)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLYiR-dSbOs from DiNic's!***
From the Philadelphia Business Journal:
...Starr’s restaurants are scattered throughout Philadelphia and each has its own concept and each brings a bit of show biz to fine dining. Steven Spielberg once walked into the Asian-fusion-themed Buddakan — with its giant Buddha overseeing the dining room — and told Starr it was “like walking into a movie.”
From the Starr Restaurant's Website:
With more than 20 years in the hospitality and entertainment industries, Starr likens the experience of dining out to that of attending a theater production, where the players, props, backdrops, lighting and rapport are integral components of an overall dramatic effect. When this atmospheric drama is paired with edgy, delicious cuisine, dining out at a STARR Restaurant becomes entertainment for all of the senses.
