And now a little bit more about our other two guest chefs on the 20th - Rich and Kate from Vedge Philadelphia are pioneers in plant-based dining and we couldn’t be more excited to have them join us with chef Eric for this special event!
Vedge is a Vegetable Restaurant by James Beard-nominated Chefs Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby. In 2010, after almost a decade of working together, the couple had shaped a vision for their next restaurant. An elegant, but approachable modern fine dining experience inspired by local, seasonal vegetables and bold global flavors. At the time there were very few vegan restaurants in the world that offered an elevated dining experience with a full wine and beverage program. The couple saw this as an opportunity to open up an exciting new restaurant, that looked like any other upscale restaurant in town, but just happened to serve only vegetables.
Vedge opened in 2011, housed in the historic Tiger Building in Center City Philadelphia. The elegant brownstone home has been the perfect, intimate setting for the couples vision. Vedge’s Bar Program, one of the early pioneers in the natural wine movement, also features craft beers and an ever changing seasonal cocktail list, all selected to compliment the the dinner and dessert menus.
Shortly after opening Vedge was named one of GQ’s best new restaurants, it was on Eaters first list of the 38 “essential” restaurants in the nation. Vedge was awarded 3 1/2 stars (out of 4) from Philadelphia Magazine and was ranked 4th in their 50 best restaurants list in 2014. In 2016 Vedge was awarded a “4 bell” review by Philadelphia Inquirer restaurant critic Craig Laban, the highest possible rating for a restaurant. Philadelphia Magazine also named Vedge as one of the most important restaurants of the last decade and In 2018 Vedge was named one of Food and Wines 40 most important restaurants of the last 40 years.
Vedge has welcomed guests from all over the world, alongside a hometown and regional core of regulars. And Chefs Rich & Kate are proud to help supply Vedge with produce from their home farm in Chester County.
