Philly’s amazing Italian Market - Well done and interesting. Jacquie had a great relationship with all the merchants she took us to. Her knowledge of the Italian Market or 9th Street Market, as I have heard it called occasionally, was fascinating. One can see that she was from here and her heart is still on 9th Street. The choices of shops was spot on. My only suggestion is to include a pasta shop in the future.

Chef Jacqie rocks - Chef Jacqie was marvelous. She’s eminently qualified to host such a tour. Her family has roots in the neighborhood,going back four or five generations. The food was incredible, the pork sandwich with long hots maybe the most interesting pork sandwich I’ve ever had. What how they recommend in this tour?
