Supermarché loves Philly. We’re staying with some of Jody’s high school buddies. Today we interviewed chef Marc Vetri (Food & Wine Best New Chef 1999) at his charming Italian restaurant Vetri on Spruce St. Opened in 1998, his restaurant has a 2 month waiting list and only 10 tables. Marc recommended Geno’s Steaks, Longwood Gardens, and Orlieb’s for late night jazz. Marc was awesome. He met us at Geno’s for a steak “wiz wit” at 1am after work.

Jody fulfills his lifelong dream of stepping behind the glass at Geno’s.

This is a rough part of the trip sleep-wise, but we must soldier on. Last stop: Chicago.
