And While We’re On The Subject Of Birthdays…Free Gelato At Stella!
Aired September 28th, 2010 on Pizza and Stephen Starr.0 CommentsStephen Starr’s Pizzeria Stella turns one year old tomorrow. Call it artisan-pizza-bandwagon-jumping if you will, we were just glad to hear last fall that ol’ StarrMan was taking over the XandO Cosi that formerly held that spot over at Headhouse Square. Stella (along with Xochitl and, recently, Bodhi Coffee) has upped the ante in that [...]

Stop, Drop And Make Your Reservation for Starr’s Next Pop-Up With Kanella
Aired July 14th, 2010 on Stephen Starr.0 CommentsMost importantly: Starr’s first pop-up with Talula’s Table sold out in less than two days, so if you want in on the Kanella pop-up, there’s no time to waste. Call 215-592-7787 to make reservations. Now, everything else: Notoriously sexy Kanella chef Konstantinos Pitsillides will be cooking a Levantine dinner for the second pop-up. The Levant [...]
Stephen Starr is at it again. (Or rather, he’s never stopped; satisfaction for the Starr beast is as foreign to him as a bidet is to a NASCAR fan.) One of his latest endeavors is his pop-up restaurant series, where he’ll be taking restaurants from out of town and transplanting them into Philly for a [...]
Thanks to Stephen Starr, you can now nibble on black truffle popcorn while you wait for Rufus Wainwright (or Passion Pit, or Yo Gabba Gabba, whatever) to come on. Or you can pop some Asian five-spice mixed nuts while you watch Planet Earth live at the Mann. (That is, if you’ve forgiven him. If not, [...]
Phoodie.info Predicts The Future: Forthcoming Claims To Be Made In Future Stephen Starr Press Releases
Aired April 22nd, 2010 on Bad Food Writing and Stephen Starr.11 CommentsWe know, we know: It’s a little petty, but we’re still a little bit miffed about yesterday’s Stephen Starr’s press release claim that, essentially, Philly has never seen a real-deal mixology/high-end cocktail joint when hello, throw a rock around here and you’ll hit one. We went to the Phoodie.info staff counselor in a tizzy (“Again?,” [...]
Stephen Starr’s Beer Dinner Frenzy Is Unstoppable
Aired March 4th, 2010 on Beer and Stephen Starr.0 CommentsFresh of beer/dinner pairings at The Continental and Parc, the Starr Organization just announced a third beer dinner, this one at Barclay Prime with Brooklyn Brewery‘s Garrett Oliver.
