Celebrating the 76 restaurants that help shape Philadelphia

Philly’s food scene showed up last night! We gathered chefs, restaurateurs, and their staff (AKA...the people who feed this city and fuel its soul) to celebrate The Inquirer’s 76 — our list of the restaurants defining how Philadelphia is eating right now. This is the video we shared with the room: a behind-the-scenes look at how our reporters built the list and how it reflects Philly's incredibly diverse food scene.
