Food & Wine Names Philly Chef Among 2022's Best New Chefs

PHILADELPHIA — In case you haven't been paying attention, Philadelphia's food scene has been booming over the past decade or so.

Chefs, restaurants, and more have received loads of local, regional, national, and even international attention for their work to provide people with good food.

And that remains true, as a Philadelphia chef has been listed among the best new chefs for 2022 by Food & Wine Magazine.

The publication released its list of the best new chefs for 2022 recently, and on the list is Chef Emily Riddell.

Riddell works at Machine Shop, 1901 S. Ninth St.

Here's a bit of what Food & Wine says about Riddell:

There are few perfect croissants in the world, yet I found one in Philadelphia at Machine Shop, the boulangerie and bakery run by pastry chef Emily Riddell. As I sliced through the golden pastry at its most bulbous point, flaky shards flew in every direction, a hurricane of crisped dough shattering across the table. The cross section revealed dramatically spacious air pockets, with enough lift between the tender layers that one could almost mistake each bubble for a cozy studio apartment.
