Eating Our Way Through West Philly

As you know from last week's post, our cooking schedule is such that once a week it helps to top off things by ordering takeout.  Fortunately, in our neighborhood there is an embarrassment of options.  Since the shutdown, we've been to 17 different places, all characterized by being relatively cheap (<$60 for enough food for all five of us for multiple meals), accepts credit cards, and within short walking distance (anywhere from half a block to five blocks).  Here's the full summer list, along with our snap ratings (4 = a divine culinary experience, 3 = will definitely return, 2 = it works for us, 1 = hard pass).
