New in takeout food: Jean-Georges, Vernick Fish, Le Virtu, Spice Finch
No view from the Four Seasons, but there's Jean-Georges caviar in that takeout container.
Restaurants are slowly emerging from their shutdowns, dipping into pickup and in some cases the delivery game.
Expect even more to return soon when an anticipated cocktails-to-go bill is approved in Pennsylvania.
Though the great view is off-limits, the Four Seasons Philadelphia at 19th and Arch Streets is offering dishes from Jean-Georges and Vernick Fish Thursday to Saturday. JG’s small menu includes the signature osetra caviar with blinis and chive crème fraiche ($90) and a ribeye for two ($138). Vernick’s offerings include half-and-half chowder ($16) and harissa striped bass ($28).
The Four Seasons’ culinary team also is offering a three-course menu that will change daily and weekly.
