Stina
DAY 4: 6-Course Nouveau Turkish Dinner Series
Opened in 2019, Stina, in the Newbold neighborhood, highlights Executive Chef/Co-Owner Bobby Saritsoglou’s Greek heritage with contemporary Mediterranian-inspired dishes like borek, chicken kebabs rubbed with walnut dukka, chicken shawarma, Turkish lamb dumplings known as manti, and what Craig LaBan in the Philadelphia Inquirer calls “the best octopus dish in town.” Everything is done with the flair and care one might expect from a chef who honed his craft in top Philly kitchens such as Opa, Will BYOB, and Santucci’s. You’ll love the quirky environment, curated by Chef Saritsoglou’s wife Christina (hence the name: Stina), with walls hung with old photos, preserved butterflies, tambourines, parts of old doors, and more. Stina also has a strong philanthropic streak, with a portion of its proceeds every month going to local charities. We will be taking over the restaurant for this event, and Chef Saristoglou will, of course, be in and out of the kitchen throughout the evening to answer your questions and share his food philosophy. Hopefully, you're as excited about this as we are!
