Monk's Cafe

We simply must flex our mussel mention in the Philadelphia Inquirer's roundup of Philly's 76 most iconic foods!

Coming in hot at number 55 are the best 'moules frites' (mussels with fries) in our fair city. (But, you already knew that.) All credit goes to our chef Keith Ballew and the kitchen crew, whose dedication over decades makes Monk's what it is.

Thanks to Ariane Datil for taking on a true 48-hour challenge, and including Monk's mussels among the 76 best bites in Philadelphia.

Marek Kaminiski made an image that asks: is walking into Monk's world-sliding or phase shifting?
