Whenever there's a hankering for Korean Fried Chicken, Bonchon in Chinatown is always a place to consider.

With a friend visiting we decided to convene at Bonchon for some Korean Fried Chicken.
We ordered Yogurt Soju (Yoju) and Frozen Yogurt Soju (Froju) along with two orders of Fried Chicken (half soy half spicy).  One order was of Drumsticks and Wings and the other was of Strips.
Lastly, there was an order of a salmon avocado ball starter.

With the weather warming up in Philadelphia, venues for happy hour that have outdoor seating are in high demand.  Unfortunately, they can get quite crowded.  One place that I sometimes forget about is Continental.  They have a nice selection of happy hour drinks and snacks with a very reasonable price point during happy hour featuring discounted cocktails and plates.

BMW hosted their Philadelphia Dine and Drive event at Vedge on May 9th, 2018.

I got to test drive a BMW 750i and enjoyed plenty of mocktails, actual cocktails (after the test drive), and plenty of vegan food.

Both Chef/Owers Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby provided cooking demos and hosted dinner for all attendees. 

BMW put on quite the fun event, and it was a great showcase for Vedge.
