Chef-owner of Philadelphia’s Her Place, Amanda Shulman, used to sneak into kitchens as a student journalist on the pretext of writing about them. After an 18-month stage at Marc Vetri’s trattoria Amis, she realized she’d found her vocation, and with Her Place has created a new way to dine out. It began as a New York pop up for friends, growing into a community of hundreds. After stints at Momofuku Ko and Joe Beef, she reinvented the concept in Philly, and Her Place is now a “not-restaurant dinner party restaurant” with 24 seats, two sittings a night, and the original vibe of friends discovering and enjoying food together. The menu, which changes weekly, is deeply personal with Italian, French, and Jewish influences - lobster pain perdu, stone fruit with whipped cheese and speck, strawberry profiteroles. It’s also one of Bon Appétit’s 50 best restaurants of 2022, while she’s a James Beard nominee. Brava, Amanda.
