    Brunch-ed In The Face: Season 2 - Episode 2 --- Fall-ing in Love, with Cookbooks

    Pleasure to sit down with the crew and interview Catie Gainor, owner and proprietor of Binding Agents Cookbook store (908 Christian St.) at her store in the Italian Market in Philadelphia.

    She tells us about her one-of-a-kind shop and shares some of the best brunch cookbooks that she features at Binding Agents in the Meals + Occasions section.

    Cookbooks mentioned:

    Over Easy by Joy 'The Baker' Wilson

    Breakfast by Emily Elyse Miller

    Brunch Season by Suzanne Vizethann

    We also did a deep dive on our favorite Fall Foods - braises, soups, stews, chili and Fall baked goods.

    Brunches in and around the Philadelphia area that will be featuring Fall Flavors:

    Telula's Garden - 210 W Washington Square

    Sabrina's Cafe - multiple Philadelphia locations

    The Love - 130 S 18th Street

    We finish off with a conversation about - love it or hate it - Pumpkin Spice! and it's many iterations in popular culture and cuisine.

    Brunch-ed in the face is back for Season 2!

    For our first episode of Season 2 we sat down with Chef Adam Diltz at his restaurant Elwood in Fishtown, Philadelphia. Chef discusses how he doesn't even like brunch! - he provides a PA Dutch influenced Tea service instead.

    Hear all about his classic cuisine featuring traditional foods of Pennsylvania, and the hottest take on brunch and brunch foods!

    We also revisit a few brunch places that stood out to us from Jaime's Philly Brunch Explorer's Club - Ka'far and Honey's Sit 'n Eat and a shoutout to Beach Buns Bakery.

  • Epidode 3 - Last Round's on Us
    Jun 15 2025

    It's the last day of school!! We still managed to knock out a podcast episode before Summer vacation!

    Talking go-to teacher breakfasts and other items on a brunch menu you may not have considered... including rating some Faculty brunch foods.

    *Featuring special guests Mrs. Benedetto and Ms. Friel, in to tell us a little bit about their favorite beverages and a few complaints they have about Brunch menus and parking problems.

    **Complete transparency: we recorded an episode the day before but, due to user error, the episode was left on the cutting room floor.

    So this is a redo but a very good conversation. Enjoy!
