Ripert coming to Philly

[Vadouvan]

I still haven't been there, but as described in previous posts, some folks I know haven't had quite as good luck. So I'm not sure what you could expect.

I just ate there, though I am hesitant to critique anything anymore just because "it is what it is "

This place is especially irritating and frankly an insult to Philadelphians.

Do we really need another restaurant that is a fascimile of a restaurant by a famous chef who isnt actually here and installs a ChefDeCuisine who tries to "bond" with the locals by putting pretzel and tastykake inspired items on the menu while cooking solidly mediocre food.

Last time I checked Philly is a town of "philadelphians" not "Philistines".
