What to Eat
The Fried Chicken — the episode title’s contribution — is the Southern comfort centerpiece that earns Sidecar its Philadelphia reputation. The House-Made Chowder rotating daily is the scratch item that sets the kitchen above standard pub competition. The Pub Burger on fresh-ground beef with creative house-made toppings is the bar food classic that most regulars return to. The Craft Beer List with a Pennsylvania and regional emphasis is as carefully curated as the food menu. Find a Philadelphia hotel on Trivago.
