Beyond winning Season 7 of Bravo’s Top Chef, Chef Kevin Sbraga has made a big name for himself, and he’s done it right here in Philadelphia. With his eponymous restaurant Sbraga as well as his newer spot The Fat Ham, Sbraga has made modern American cuisine new and exciting again. While his restaurants are considered some of the best in the city, Spoon wanted to find out what Sbraga likes to do outside of his restaurant kitchens. Check out what Sbraga likes to eat on his days off and learn about his soft-spot for his mom’s cooking. Stay tuned for more juicy interviews with other Philly chefs!
Spoon: Where do you like to eat on your days off?
Sbraga: I enjoy cooking for and with my children on my days off. However, we do eat out every so often. Little Nonna’s is a favorite, so is Pizzeria Stella.
