So I obviously canโt eat everywhere all the time and Iโm due for a return trip soon but I follow all the old school people in food media and the folks in Philly do a really good job showcasing the cityโs dining scene, especially @CraigLaBan.

.@CraigLaBan Hercules Posey self-emancipated from @MountVernon on this day in 1797. I am nominating Hercules for @PHMC historical marker.
I hope you will write a letter in support of the nomination of the nationโs first celebrity chef.

It's funny that his face is blocked out here. His picture has been at the host stands of most restaurants in Philly since the '90s.

Itโs called the Ebbitt Room, not the Ebbit Room. When a sentence ends with a parenthetical, the sentenceโs period goes outside the parentheses, not inside. @CraigLaBan
