Reservation opens Sat, Jan 10, 2026 · 12:00 PM
In order to be moved off the waitlist to attend this event, there is a $25 deposit. I am doing this because there is a hold on my credit card. You can Venmo me @Randee-Frankel putting Elwood in the note, and I will move you to going. The deposit will go towards the cost of the dinner. If you do not have Venmo reach out to me and I can arrange another way to collect your deposit. We have a reservation for 10 people.

Get ready for a unique culinary journey right here in Philadelphia! Our next stop on the World Food Tour is the highly-acclaimed Elwood, where we'll experience elevated, modern Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. This is a special opportunity to savor true regional flavors in a cozy, intimate setting.

Why You Should Join Us:
Elwood is a celebrated BYOB known for taking traditional PA Dutch flavors and transforming them into sophisticated, delicious dishes. Since the entire menu is served family-style, this is the absolute best way to taste a wide variety of what they offer and share a fantastic meal together. It's the perfect chance to enjoy a genuinely unique and local culinary experience, enjoy stimulating conversations, and build lasting connections with fellow food adventurers.

What's the Plan?
We'll be gathering at Elwood to truly share the feast. Our goal is to sample a variety of their acclaimed dishes. We plan to order the delicious Pierogi and possibly the Cheese Board to start, followed by 3-4 of their impressive, large-format main entrees (such as Whole Rabbit, Striped Bass, or Beef Tri-Tip) to be passed around the table. Get ready to share and savor!
