Billionaires and Birria

Way behind the scenes of a recent article.

Last week, I wrote about how Mawn became one of Philadelphia’s most difficult reservations. I didn’t even try to get a reservation for dinner. I went in with some co-workers for lunch (where it’s walk-ins only) and then unexpectedly, our friends Dave Wesolowski and Rebecca Foxman had two seats open on their reservation on the night of my birthday. Both meals were stunning. I have a lot more to say about Mawn and Phila Lorn, the most quotable man on earth, that didn’t fit into the article, so you, paid subscribers, get a look behind the scenes of when I first met Phila (at a conference in billionaires’ playground of Sun Valley, Idaho), and a little more of what he had to say about his harshest critics.
