Rick Nichols On Talula’s Garden

Posted by Foobooz on April 21st, 2011

Huzzah! Rick Nichols is back in the Inquirer today with a prose-based tour of Talula’s Garden.

[A]s evening falls, the space transforms, the seed packs and jelly glasses, the dramatic drum lamps and wood flooring muting and blending, losing their identities, becoming background music.In the classic, tall-ceilinged space, the room rises a short level or two under the drum lights toward an altarlike, 2,000-pound salvaged stone counter – the stage for Olexy’s star performers, her pet artisanal and farmstead cheeses.

      Well this is just freakin ridiculous. Who gives a crap, what about the food?? Place has been open for a week now, I don’t want a guided tour of the room, I want to know about the food. Jeez.

      Well, this sounds like probably the most self-aggrandizing restaurant in Philly history.

      thats Ricks shtick
      he’s not a reviewer of food
      He likes to throw back the drinks and bounce around restaurants, talk to chefs and peek his head about
      Nice guy

      here’s our humble review of the place (with some crappy iPhone pictures)! we’re no super-discriminating food critics or anything, but we thought it was delightful!
