Philly Grub started in 2008 as a personal blog between two good friends who were roommates at the time.

Over time, it evolved into a resource for restaurant news, events, and some restaurant reviews based on actual dining experiences.

As of 2019, Philly Grub has returned to being a personal blog about founder Marilyn Johnson’s dining experiences at Philadelphia and South Jersey restaurants.

In addition to running this blog, Marilyn is:

• Occasionally a freelance writer.

• A Philadelphia food judge of cooking, baking, and cocktail competitions.

• A Philadelphia marketing & PR consultant for restaurants and small businesses.

This blog has been recognized:

• In 2015, named one of Philly’s must-follow food scene accounts by Billy Penn! Thanks, Billy Penn!

• In 2009, named one of Mashable’s “tastiest” Twitter accounts to follow. Old-school here. 

Marilyn works a full-time day job, not in the food industry currently, but may be open to hearing about full-time, salaried opportunities at food-based companies or the hospitality industry.

While this blog will no longer publish press releases or other news pieces, Marilyn may be interested in attending restaurant previews, media events, press conferences, grand openings, sampling new menus, overnight or weekend stays, etc.

NOTE: Only evening and weekend events will be considered.
