Hungry Pigeon
DAY 1: 6-Course Elevated Comfort Dinner Series
There’s good, honest food—and then there’s great honest food. The latter is what you will find at the Hungry Pigeon, the all-day restaurant in charming, laid-back Queen Village. Scott Schroeder, who has worked with some of the best chefs and restaurateurs in Philadelphia, including George Perrier, Steven Starr, and Guillermo Pernot, and who was the force behind the American Sardine Bar in Point Breeze, has partnered up with Pat O’Malley, who was Pastry Chef at none less than the fabled Balthazar Bakery in New York City and who was named Baker of the Year by the Philadelphia Inquirer, to serve up amazing lasagna, fried chicken, and all manner of other treats. Philadelphia Magazine lauds its “scruffy, homey, comforting mess of a menu that appeals to Philly’s most impassioned lovers of food and drink” and named it one of “Philadelphia’s 50 Best Restaurants.” We’ll be taking over the Hungry Pigeon for the evening, and Chefs Schroder and O’Malley will be on hand to take your questions and discuss their collaboration.
