Restaurant PR in Philadelphia
One of America's most underrated food cities — and a hotbed of culinary talent.
Why ChowPR in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia has quietly become one of the most important restaurant cities in America — home to James Beard Award-winning chefs, a fierce independent restaurant culture, and a food media ecosystem that takes dining as seriously as any major US city. The city's proximity to New York and DC means it's sometimes overlooked by national press, but ChowPR knows exactly which editors cover Philadelphia and how to position our clients for both local and national coverage.
