Philly Eater announced Thursday the website's annual picks for the best in food and drink across the city.
Eater runs local sites that cover the culinary scenes in several cities across the United States and Canada, and each year every site announces winners for five categories: chef, pastry chef, restaurant design, restaurant and local distillery.
