About Us
Recipe Philly is a new culinary concept that will take treasured Philadelphia dishes to the local and national stage. Designed to be part docuseries series, part transformative restaurant, Recipe Philly invites Philadelphians to share their most cherished family recipes in a reality-style competition.
Winning dishes will earn a place on the 175-seat flagship menu, opening Spring 2026.
Filming begins in November 2025, judged by chefs, food influencers, and community voices. More than a restaurant, Recipe Philly is a celebration of heritage, memory, and community during one of the city’s most historic years.
Manifesto
We believe food is more than flavor. It’s memory. It's meaning. It’s the story of where you come from — and the way you welcome others in. At RECIPE, we honor the meals that matter. The dishes tested over time, perfected in home kitchens, and passed around tables full of laughter, healing, joy, and love.
We invite everyday cooks — grandmothers, neighbors, dreamers, sons, and sisters — to share the recipes that shaped them. Then we give those recipes the platform they deserve: A beautiful dining room. A national stage. A community hungry for something real. Ours is a table built on belonging. A place where food is crafted with care, served with story, and remembered long after the last bite.
We are not fast casual. We are not fine dining. We are something entirely new: Heirloom hospitality.
Refined memory. Seasonal storytelling. We are RECIPE. And everyone’s invited.
