Tamron Hall calls this Philly restaurant ‘the best food experience’ of her life
The Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist and author said she left Honeysuckle with ‘tears of joy’.
On Saturday night, Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist and author Tamron Hall took to social media to gush about her meal at Honeysuckle in Spring Garden.
“I’ve never had a meal that made me want to cry; I have never in my life experienced something like we did tonight,” she said in a video posted on Instagram. “The emotion, the food, the everything — if you come to Philadelphia and you don’t go to wait for it ... Honeysuckle ... just pack up and leave."
According to 6abc, the celebrity host and Temple alumna was in town to receive WDAS-FM‘s Legend in Film & TV Award at their 10th Annual Women of Excellence Luncheon. Hall, the host and executive producer of the Tamron Hall Show on ABC, interned at the radio station early in her career.
Leaving the restaurant, Hall began the video by thanking fans for commenting on Philly restaurant recommendations, including Honeysuckle. In an earlier post, she asked her followers “where should we have dinner?” as she rode the train to Philly. “I will never not love Philly,” she captioned the post. “Back for a weekend of love. @templeuniv and more.”
And fans responded with a plethora of restaurants.
“Gotta go to@friday.saturday.sunday hands down," one fan wrote.
“South Jazz Kitchen is delish. Welcome home. 🫶🏾," said another.
“Wilder. Honeysuckle. Pine St. Grill.” another wrote.
Listening to fans, she went Honeysuckle and had “the single best food experience I have had in my life anywhere in the world.”
Cybille St. Aude-Tate and Omar Tate left their original grocery and breakfast hotspot in West Philly to open a fine dining restaurant in Spring Garden last year. Honeysuckle on North Broad is one of 21 restaurants Michelin deemed as Recommended.
“No cap — Honeysuckle, bar none," she closed out the video. “Thank you guys for recommending. I’m going to hit some of the others on the list. I’m sure they’re amazing but if you don’t do this [Honeysuckle] immediately — it’s crazy."
