Comments on: Local 44 http://veggicurious.com/2009/01/05/local-44/ Cooking in and eating out, vegetarian, in Philadelphia and beyond. Trying to keep it local, fresh, community oriented, and curious.

I think that right now the beer selection is its “saving grace.”

I don’t think the food was anything extraordinary; we had the same experience that Kevin had with the Veggie Burger and the Oyster Po’ Boy was more bread than anything… Hopefully it will improve with time.

I know that it’s hard for a place to live up to months of hype. I’d agree that the food could use a little work. I didn’t eat most of the bread with my sandwich, but I can see how it would have seemed dry if I had. I think the mushroom ‘po boy could use some more sauce, and a nice juicy slaw instead of just the cabbage shreds!

i went with friends to local 44 tonight. i was kind of disappointed by the mushroom po boy. it did not look like your picture – the mushroom chunks were much smaller. it was very dry too. i’ll definitely go back there, but i was hoping for the greatness that is the memphis taproom (never had a bad meal there) and did not quite get it. one of the other people that were with us got the veggie burger and thought it was no better than what we could microwave at home after a quick stop at the grocery store. :(
