"RELISH" RESTAURANT IN PHILADELPHIA IS A-MAZ-ING

At first glance, the hotel- lobby-esque decor of this new restaurant/jazz club — from the Bynum brothers of Zanzibar Blue fame — feels like an odd setting for the menu of down-South favorites. But step into the moody lounge area, with its corner stage and long oak bar, and your appetite for good old-fashioned Southern comfort rises. Here, the honey-and-butter-topped cornbread is baked to order, and the long-time-cooked turkey legs are just that — braised overnight, then smothered in the house-made rosemary gravy. Service can be slow, but when the jazz is playing, you won’t mind waiting. Insider tip: Jazz performances are only scheduled Thursday through Sunday
