Its Chef-in-Residence program will spotlight a new chef every 6-8 weeks.

The guest chef will create dishes on the menu that will be prepared by Volver’s culinary team. The guests will have the choice to discover the dishes of the iron chef or to support the chef in residence.

The chefs were chosen by the Garces Foundation. The hope is to support these young chefs who have been impacted by the pandemic.

Customers who eat at Volver can donate to the Resident Chefs and the Garces Foundation will match each donation. The objective is to offer a financial platform to these young culinary creators to advance in their careers.

Saigon Quy-Bau BYO serves Vietnamese cuisine with an international twist
Saigon Quy-Bau is a newcomer to the South Street food scene, a French-inspired BYO with a Thai twist.

Saigon is one of the largest cities in Vietnam and is a nod to the restaurant’s South Vietnamese cuisine. The words quy-bau put together means prestigious in Vietnamese.
Think dim sum, pad thai and French specialties like rack of lamb in a herb crust and grilled veal chop.

Owner Alan Nguyen learned to cook different cuisines from his family and dreamed of opening his own place.

Her son, Josh, also works at the restaurant and says he loves the neighborhood and meeting new people.

Jaya Kava is Philadelphia’s premier kava kava parlor
At Lightbox Cafe, you can get all kinds of vegan food, cold-pressed juices, smoothies (called smoodies), avocado toast, and something called a hot bowl, filled with veggies and grains.

But what really sets this place apart? It is the first kava kava salon in the region.
Co-owner Jennifer Hombach is a yoga teacher who started hosting backyard kava talkeasies in 2019 and describes kava kava as a herbal alternative to drinking alcohol.

Last January, she met Gabriel Vazquez, who initially intended to open the cafe solo, but invited Hombach to join him.

They say opening the region’s first kava cafe is as much about introducing something new as it is about educating people about exactly what kava is, “herbal medicine for stress, anxiety, and disease. ‘insomnia”.

It is a root that grows in the volcanic soil of the Pacific Islands and is said to drink it makes you feel euphoric.

This is bitter to drink, so Lightbox serves it mixed with a variety of drinks or straight with a side of pineapple.

Every Thursday the cafe stays open late to serve Sri Lankan food, a chef partnership with Melissa Fernandez of Sri’s Company.
They also sell Amy’s Pastelillo’s, a stuffed dough popular in Puerto Rico.

Their goal is to create an alcohol-free alternative to the neighborhood bar with more partnerships with pop-up chefs.

The retrospective covers the career of over 60 years of Jasper Johns. Sarah Vogelman, the exhibition assistant, says Johns is one of the most important American artists of all time.

His style, distinct from the abstract expressionism of the time, changed the course of art history and inspired the path to pop art.

Take a break to admire all the art and head to Stir, the museum’s seasonal farm-to-table restaurant.

For the fall season, Executive Chef Mark Tropea has created inspired dishes. There’s homemade ricotta cavatelli, roasted salmon with honey and herbs, and an earthy beetroot side made with burrata cheese.
