The New Jersey Pine Barrens are known for a lot of things…but wine??? YES! The Mid-Atlantic’s most misunderstood region is part of the Outer Coastal Plain AVA, a wine country that stretches from Cape May up to Monmouth County. But are the wines actually good? The team at Philly Mag tried 14 bottles from Amalthea Cellars, White Horse Winery, and Renault Winery & Resort to find out.

“On a recent Sunday afternoon, over 100 sushi fans piled into Starbolt to watch a Japanese tradition that goes way beyond any dining experience you’ll find in the city: the Philly Tuna Cutting Show,” food editor Kae Lani Palmisano writes.

“The maguro kaitai show, as it’s called in Japan, is a culinary presentation meant to honor the tuna by breaking it down and serving prized cuts to the audience. I was expecting it to be a calm, serene, almost ceremonial process — like watching a master sushi chef find their flow state while making nigiri.

But then chef Carlos Wills of Ogawa decapitated a 250-pound bluefin tuna with a sword-like maguro bocho knife made of steel, stuck a sake bottle into the fish’s sawed-off head, and started pouring shots directly into people’s mouths, and I realized that this was more than just performance art — this was a wild sushi party where controlled chaos meets craftsmanship.”

New bagel shop alert 🥯🚨

The highly anticipated is opening tomorrow in Ardmore, bringing their signature grip, rip, and dip bagels to Suburban Square.

Our wellness editor .brisk (who LOVES bagels) checked out the new spot in advance of tomorrow’s opening. The bagels come in five varieties — plain, salt, sesame, poppy, and everything — and are made constantly throughout the day, so you’re sure to get yours fresh and hot. Expect a nice crust and a fluffy interior.

You won’t find breakfast sandwiches here, but you will find an assortment of cream cheeses and butters — some of which rotate every other week. Brzyski’s favorites were the Long Hot Schmear (a solid kick without being overpowering) and the Chocolate Stout Cake Schmear (made with Guinness!), both limited-time offers.

PopUp Bagels will be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, starting tomorrow, March 20th.

📍10 Coulter Avenue, Ardmore

“Mom, can we get McDonald’s?”
“Well, do you have McDonald’s money?”

Many of us have this memory tucked away in our collective conscience — a universal craving for fast food that we just can’t shake. Chef-owners Omar Tate and Cybille St. Aude-Tate have perfectly captured that moment with their Best of Philly-winning McDonald’s Money burger at Honeysuckle.

“We wanted to make it as absurd as possible,” says St. Aude-Tate. And absurd it is.

“[...] this dish is not just an homage to the Big Mac,” writes food editor Kae Lani Palmisano. “It is an artistic representation of childhood disappointment transformed into playful spite. This is the kind of masterpiece that could only be dreamed up when the yearning for what you can’t have intensifies, when you are haunted by every time your mom passed by those golden arches and your pent-up desire for burger bliss spirals out of control. This burger — this exaggeration of what it feels like when your mom finally acquiesces to your pleas for Mickey D’s — is retribution on a bun.”
