My first brunch experience at Supper was wonderful and well thought out—specifically on January 1, 2011. Following an awful, awful evening packed with a series of unfortunate events, B and I decided to journey into Philadelphia on New Year's Day and while heading to South Philly on this particular day of the year may be either insane or mandatory (whichever sort of person you are), I had some fun-infused festivities to make up for and kindly, Supper did not let me down.
We played the late-morning/early afternoon brunching cards right, handpicking all the perfectly darling dishes speckled throughout the farm-forward eatery's menu. Aside our friends LeeAnne and Ryan, we loaded up our tabletop with everything mouthwatering, from pumpkin pie french toast and red velvet waffles, crispy apple beignets and cornbread hush puppies, a three egg frittata and a Supper Benny, wild mushroom toast and of course, a Supper Dog (see below).
While, from just rattling off our menu items, it may appear as though we ordered the entire brunch lineup, and I wouldn't have wished for a better start to the new year. Since the year has so far followed with loads of blissful scenarios (thank goodness), when I recently was invited to a food & drink writer meet-up at Supper, I easily became giddy over revisiting.

On Saturday, April 2, many enthusiastic food lovers piled into the gorgeous upstairs setting at Supper, B and I included. With the lovely, vibrant second-floor as our backdrop, it was a pleasure attending such an event (thank you Wendy for organizing it). It was marvelous to mingle with several locals who I have shared tweets with in the past, and even more so, meeting a bunch of new friends who I hope to share drinks with in the future.

Of course, a midday soiree for a grub-loving gang would not be complete with unforgettable snacks, and this time around at Supper, I was happy to lengthen my list of lovable dishes I have sampled. We can skip my in-person gushing over the red velvet waffles and Supper dog (again), and speed to my Saturday favorites: the Dock Street pancakes topped with candied apples, vanilla foam and housemade crack jacks; and the Dixie Biscuit, big sandwich bites bursting with two scrambled eggs, country ham and pimento cheese.

I can't wait to go back and binge of the best of Supper's brunch—time and time again. I will—without a doubt—continue to pair the brunching experiences like I had the past 2 times, with many, many marvelous mimosas. Also, a big thank you goes out to Jen & Mitch of Supper: Your hospitality, welcoming atmosphere and incredible bites made our blogger bash a success!

It was so fun meeting you, Amy! We'll have to reunite again, over a cheese plate, for reals. You know, I thought I had you in my blogroll and just realized I didn't! Just added ya. xoxo
Hello Amy
Normally, I would email this to you.
I wanted to let you know that The Food Experiments is coming to Philadelphia. The Food Experiments (www.thefoodexperiments.com) is a series of amateur cook-offs that celebrate the home chef. By creating these events, my co-organizer and I have developed a community of food and fun-loving people in our hometown of Brooklyn. Now we have been given the great opportunity by Brooklyn Brewery to go on the road for a national tour. The Philadelphia Cheese Experiment will be held at the World Cafe Live venue on Sunday June 5th, 2011 from 12-4PM. Anyone can compete, anyone can attend, anyone can win! A portion of the event’s proceeds will go towards The Food Trust, a local charity dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food.
I’d like to encourage you and your readers to enter or attend. The top prize is a trip to Brooklyn to compete against all the cook-off winners from around the country and all chefs will be a provided with a Whole Foods gift certificate to help purchase ingredients for the competition.
Chefs, press and food bloggers are invited to a pre-event Happy Hour to take place on Thursday, June 2nd from 5pm to 7pm, location to be announced.
On a side note, if you have any eating recommendations for Philadelphia, please send them our way. We will be eating our way through the city on a food crawl (hopefully a sandwich crawl!) and hope to meet many of you along the way.
I would like to email our Press Release. If you have any questions, please email me at thefoodexperiments@gmail.com
All the best,
Nick Suarez and Theo Peck
