Edible World
In an Edible World, food tells us a story.
In an Edible World, you’re hungry for more than just a delicious meal. You crave a tasty story too.
In an Edible World, our appetite for connection meets our appetite for flavor.
Edible World programs let you savor amazing cuisine while hearing a tale inspired by that food. Past Edible Worlds have included the Polish neighborhoods of Northeast Philadelphia, led by Rick Nichols of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the diverse culinary inspirations for Ellen Yin’s phenomenal restaurant, Fork.
