Michael Klein corrects what I wrote last Friday on Philly Chit Chat. The opening for Mama de Palma’s is next Tuesday 5/27, not tomorrow as I quoted the owner (picture of Brunella Russo-McCall and dad working outside Mama de Palma’s last 5/10/08.)
One of us was very optomistic. http://blogs.phillynews.com/inquirer/foodanddrinq/2008/05/mama_palmas_returning_may_27.html
5/27 is also the opening of the Chima Brazilian Steakhouse (pronounced “She-ma”), an elegant steakhouse offering a most unique fine dining experience. Chima is located 1901 JFK Blvd (corner of 20th & JFK Blvd.) For reservations or more information, call 215.525.3233 or visit http://www.chimasteakhouse.com.
As for me, it’s an easy choice, I will be in NYC covering the Sex and the City Premiere at Radio City Music Hall – Yippee!!

Huh? How is that possible?
I was party to a disgraceful and upsetting episode at this pizza place.
Following a request by a customer with children for space for a stroller, the customer was told to get out of the restaurant and he cursed at the customer and his children. Several times.
This episode was followed by a fist fight in which the customer was beaten about the face and eyes. The children were petrified by this violence as was I. Noteworthy, a number of other patrons left the restaurant sickened by the hostility they witnessed.
I cannot recommend Mama Palma to anybody.
