Miles Table
1620 South Street
Philadelphia, PA 19146
On
a Saturday morning after sleeping in a little bit, my girlfriend and I decided
to head out to grab some brunch because as usual she didn’t have any food in
her apartment. I had the bright idea that we should go to Honey's Sit and Eat which had recently opened a new location on 22nd and South, but not realizing the
time when we got there, it was over an hour wait. We were both pretty hungry,
and luckily we had passed another place on our walk that happened to catch my
girlfriend's eye on the way up. We turned around and walked over to Miles
Table.
When
we walked in, I realized it was super hipster. It was the type of place I would
expect to see in Northern Liberties, but it was in the heart of Center City. It
had a very homey feel to it, and we walked up to the counter to place our
order. They place the menu on a blackboard near the counter and you can order
off of that. The special sandwich of the day was a Salmon BLT, which sounded
pretty tasty to me, so I decided on that while my girlfriend ordered the salted
caramel French toast, the other item I was eyeing up. I also can never pass up
an opportunity to order La Colombe coffee, so I ordered one as well.
The
coffee came in a huge cup, and they refill it as often as you want. I love when
places do that, especially when it is La Colombe. It is so tasty! There were
all kinds of people in the place reading, talking and working on their
computers, so it really had that kind of coffee house feel to it. Our food came
out pretty soon thereafter and it definitely looked like we were in for a
treat. Yes I know it’s a little weird that I ordered a sandwich with a tomato
on it. I usually don’t like tomatoes on my sandwiches, but in this case it
worked out fantastically. The pairing of the smoke of the salmon, the acidity
of tomato, the crunch of the bacon, the creaminess of the mayo, and the slight
spice of the hot sauce I added to it were a match made in heaven. I never
thought I would like a sandwich like that as much as I did. It was really
amazing. They served some house made kettle ships with it as well. They were
ok, but definitely could have used a bit more seasoning.
I
switched plates with my girlfriend when I was halfway through, so I got to take
part in some of the salted caramel French toast as well. Boy, am I glad she
decided to share! Holy cow it was heavenly. I thought it might be too sweet,
but it was spot on. I think it might have been the salt in the syrup that
balanced it all out. The syrup was mapley, caramel and salty, a supremely
fantastic combination. The bread that they used for the French toast was also a
really good choice. It got a nice crust on the outside but was still light as a
cloud on the inside. We thought maybe they baked it in house, but it turns out
they get it from Le Bus Bakery, one of the best in the city. It could not have
been any better.
3
and a half pints for Miles Table. The food was spectacular, and the price point
was pretty good. The place is pretty small, so don’t be surprised if you can’t
get a table right away when you go try it. You definitely should because it is
a great little spot, so check it out and let me know what you think! Cheers!
