I recently had a great time at @hilotacoco for Taco Tuesday. A nice easy outing with first and foremost friendly and excellent service. They prepare a special taco for Taco Tuesday every Tuesday so I had to make my way there.

In slide #2 we have the fresh handmade guacamole alongside the tortilla chips for a start which was also hot and freshly baked which was a great first impression. Next slide we have the Mezcal Hibiscus which was a really good cocktail, a little sweet at first but the smoke of the mezcal helped balance it out.

Lastly, the main event… the tacos of course. Starting from left to right we had the steak fajita tacos, one of the most popular tacos. Steak cooked perfectly, lots of flavor. The second taco and taco of the day was the seared shrimp taco, marinated in homemade salsa matcha. Great ingredients and selfless with the shrimp. The final taco was the mushroom asada tacos. Mushrooms were seared and seasoned well. You can see they fry a layer of cheese on the taco shell which really adds some pizzazz to the taco. I think it’s nice for a mid size to small occasion and happy hour of course. Highly recommended 👌🏾. by @_chiefeats_

This winter, I’ve been really into the ramen and the pho dishes. I’ve heard great things about Dan-Dan Sichuan & Taiwanese Cuisine and they exceeded my expectations.

Pictured first are the Pork Soup Dumplings. First time having it now I’m hooked. Nice and hot, perfectly sealed, simply amazing.

In the second picture we have the Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup, including Sliced Braised Beef, Flour Noodles, and Bok Choy served in a Spicy Beef Broth. The broth GOTTA be spicy in my ramen, I need a little kick in mine. This dish was flavorful, a nice hefty portion, and all the ingredients complimented eachother. My first Dan Dan experience was certainly 10/10.

I went to the Wayne location, but they also have locations in Philadelphia and Ardmore. This restaurant is great for an occasional outing, whether it be a date, a simple lunch break, or just a gather of friends/ family.

There is never a wrong time for pizza. For those of you who like pizza , I suggest that you try some Chicago style pizza if ever in the area. My experience in Chicago was great , and I ended it off the right way by picking up a pie from @loumalnatis . I wish I had more pics to show it full in detail, however I was driving so i shouldn’t have been doing that in the first place 😂.

Lou Malnatis is considered the oldest name in Chicago Style pizza, and it lives up to its name. What’s makes this pizza so great surely comes from tradition. It’s made from scratch and the ingredients are freshly picked. California hand selected tomatoes, the freshest mozzarella, and their own secret recipe in which they should let me borrow.

Pictured is titled “Deep Dish The Lou”, named after the man himself so of course I had to pick this up. It’s made up of Spinach mix, mushrooms and sliced Roma tomatoes covered with three cheeses on a garlic Buttercrust.

They have thin crust and specialty pizza as well. If you’re not in the Chicago area, don’t worry, they ship out pizzas across the US.

Chicago style deep dish might be on to something for the thin crust lovers I’m just saying. 🤷🏾‍♂️ taken in Lou Malnati's Famous Pizza by @_chiefeats_

We are expanding the pallet a little with this one.

If you are in the Philadelphia Area, you gotta set a reservation for Teresa’s Cafe in Wayne, PA @teresas_wayne

In the first picture , we have the Provincial Mussels, with some escargot added on (yes snails 🐌 🐌)
This is topped with herbs, garlic, and shallots all sitting in a puddle of white wine sauce. It was an amazing starter, everything cooked perfectly.

For those of you who don’t like food with the the chewy or slimy texture, I hope you like the second pic.

There, we have what they call the Hobbit Ribs. Now, this isn’t your typical American Style BBQ ribs. Trust me if you like ribs, you’ll love these. These ribs are wood roasted and it is served with a spicy samurai sauce with a salad and pomme frites on the side. It also takes at least 30 minutes to prepare, but trust me the wait is worth every minute. Take that time to explore the menu and taste their other starters, cocktails, ciders, bitters…. Listen the list goes on.

You should probably ignore what I said earlier and make a couple of reservations to experience everything they have to offer.

Great drinks, even greater food. 💎 taken in Teresa's Cafe & Next Door Bar by @_chiefeats_

More gems in Philly!

Pictured here is a special dish from @giorgioonpine , so you have to catch it when you catch it. It’s their delicious lobster ravioli , topped with fresh lump crab, cherry tomatoes, & chopped asparagus sitting in their house made vodka sauce. Nice Italian restaurant with simply great starters and entrees.

Great for a date night or a big gathering. Also just as important, they are BYOB! Bring your favorite wine and enjoy! by @_chiefeats_

Welcome to (the real) Chief Eats!

I’m excited to share all my meals, treats, drinks, etc. with you all. I basically eat everything, so I aim to keep a good variety of content.

We’re repping Philly over here, so of course I had to start off with a signature Philly cheesesteak. This steak from @gilbensbakery1 looked amazing and tasted even better. The beef was well seasoned, cheese melted just right (Real cheese, not the cheese wiz nonsense) and it’s on GARLIC BREAD. That’s differentttt, #1 in Philly IMO.

Check out Gilben’s Bakery for cheesesteaks, Po Boys, baked goods, soul food, and more! taken in Gilben's Bakery by @_chiefeats_
