Honey’s Sit-N-Eat on North 4th Street in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties neighborhood has been one of the city’s most beloved breakfast and brunch spots since it opened, combining Southern comfort food with Jewish deli traditions in a combination that sounds unexpected and tastes completely natural. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 4 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Quirky Classics,” which aired January 24, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Philadelphia kitchen that had figured out how to put matzo ball soup and chicken and waffles on the same menu without either feeling out of place — the quirky classic the episode title was designed for.

What to Eat
The Chicken and Waffles is the Southern centerpiece — crispy fried chicken on a Belgian waffle with house-made syrup and hot sauce on the side. The Matzo Ball Soup is the Jewish deli classic that sits comfortably next to the Southern dishes without any sense of contradiction. The Challah French Toast stuffed with cream cheese and seasonal fruit is the sweet morning option that earns its own devoted following. The Eggs Benedict with rotating creative variations are the savory brunch standout. The Corned Beef Hash, made from scratch with real corned beef, is the deli-meets-diner item that ties both traditions together on one plate. Find a Philadelphia hotel on Travelocity.
