🇺🇸 Philly Food Hot Takes | BBQ Edition 🍖

Gained 10 lbs in a year in Philly… and BBQ definitely played a role 😂 Here are my go-to spots—add yours below! 🍽️ Gyukaku (Japanese Charcoal BBQ) 📍1901 Callowhill St 💛 North of Chinatown. Real charcoal grills, great ventilation, and they change grates often. Perfect for DIY lovers. Wide meat selection—their scallion sauce is a must! And the roasted marshmallows? Always order them 🥹 💰 A bit pricey: $50–80 per person. Treat yourself now and then! 🍽️ Kim’s Restaurant (Korean Charcoal BBQ) 📍5955 N 5th St 💛 Way up North Philly—a bit far from downtown/uni areas. Family-run Korean spot with wild-looking grills and servers who help you grill. 💛 Lots of Korean drinks, pork-heavy menu, usually order combos. Tons of banchan (side dishes), lively vibe. ‼️ Area feels rough at night—just a heads-up! 🍽️ Fette Sau (American BBQ) 📍1208 Frankford Ave, Fishtown 💛 Order by the half-pound! Loved the pulled pork & brisket. Italian sausages and fried chicken also solid. Sauces are top-tier 👍 🛠️ Garage-style decor—great for chilling in the yard with friends. 🍽️ Fogo de Chão (Brazilian All-You-Can-Eat) 📍1337 Chestnut St 💛 Brazilian churrascaria in Center City. You get a card—flip it to green, and servers bring sizzling meats to your table nonstop. 🍯 The honey-roasted cheese? AMAZING. 📅 Go on weekends—more meat varieties, better vibe. Limited sides, drinks extra. 💰 $80–100+ per person. 🍽️ Bauhaus Schmitz (German) 📍718 South St, Society Hill 💛 German feast alert! Must-try: crispy pork knuckle + sausages. Giant portions—come with friends! Served with mashed potatoes & sauerkraut. 🍻 Great German beer selection for true beer lovers.
