Baby’s + Tita Emmie’s in the media
“Baby’s is just a small place, trying something new, constantly evolving, and still trying to find the limits of its own excellence in real time. I feel lucky to get to see that — to experience it trying to find how best to serve its neighborhood and its community, and to taste the sparks of brilliance it finds along the way”.
-Jason Sheehan, Food Critic, Philadelphia Magazine
“The many deep-cut touches linking to regional Filipino foodways are what I find most thrilling. From the Philippines-sourced Barako coffee beans, roasted to a nutty chocolate hue by Kensington’s Câphé Roasters, to a host of contemporary takes on Filipino dishes that go beyond the most familiar touchstones such as lumpia and adobo, such as the pinakbet and dinakdakan — these are what give Baby’s Kusina a destination status that should resonate far beyond this stretch of Girard Avenue”.
