Joe's Restaurant List
This is a list of some of the restaurants (and a few bars) I've had the pleasure to visit while living in Philly. It's heavily inspired by (and overlaps significantly with) Penn CIS Prof Lyle Ungar's legendary list of Philly restaurants, which is required reading for any food-loving new arrival to the city.

In lieu of a rating system, I'll just include a single ★ on restaurants I strongly recommend – the rest I merely recommend.
