| The outdoor area and entrance at Suppa |
We woke up in the morning and took our time before deciding where to go. When the time came, we threw out a few ideas but couldn't make a decision. Then -- it happened. We saw a friend and fellow Instagrammer's post about Suppa, and instantly knew we had found "the one." We headed via cab to Northern Liberties, where Suppa is located on Liberties Walk. It was easy to find, though one might not know where to go if you are not familiar with the area. Liberties Walk is a quaint little area near the Piazza where a few business are placed along what can't be classified as a street, but rather a square. It's a really great spot, off the beaten path so you aren't backing up to traffic but still in a great central location in Northern Liberties. We arrived and because it was such a beautiful day, decided to sit outside at one of the several wooden tables they had set up. BONUS - THE TABLE WASN"T WOBBLY!

Next up were our entrees. It was difficult to decide what to get. The menu was extensive and everything sounded delicious. It was later in the day, so I had a craving for a more lunch-centered entree. I went with Chicken and waffles. Kristen went with the burger.

| Chicken and Waffles at Suppa |
The brunch burger came out literally oozing cheese. It was a tall tasty stack of bun, beef, tomato, fried egg, and caramelized onion, covered in melting cheese. The sight of it was glorious. Based on Kristen's reaction, the taste of it was as well. It was so large and stacked she had to cut it in half, eating one half at a time. She opted for the sautéed potatoes on the side, which were complimentary and also delicious. Kristen thoroughly enjoyed her entree, and I enjoyed staring at how graciously the cheese dripped over the sides of the hearty burger.
The chicken and waffles were equally as aesthetically pleasing. The plate consisted of a thin maple waffle, though not too thin as it was the perfect amount of sweet to go with the savory fried chicken piled on top. Both the chicken and waffle were draped in a savory gravy, with scallions added on top for extra flavor. The plate also offered a small side of syrup, which was sweet and not too thick or sticky. It was the perfect compliment to an otherwise amazing dish. The chicken was crispy and hot. It was cooked to perfection. The waffle was just substantial enough to stand up next to the chicken, rounding out the perfect combination. The gravy was heavy but savory. It added an extra flavor to what was already a great duo. The portion was plenty, as I wasn't even able to finish it. It was truly a stellar dish.
Our waiter was then prompt with our check, and it's notable that he had a smile on his face throughout our entire meal. Nothing tops off a great meal at a restaurant like great service. We paid our check and left full and happy. We found yet another great brunch spot in Philadelphia, and we'll absolutely be returning.

| Totally worth mentioning: Suppa is dog-friendly. This little guy was at the table next to us and they even brought him a doggie bowl! |
