The Toughest Reservations In Philly Right Now (And How To Get Them) - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Black Dragon Takeout's mashup between soul food and Chinese cuisines works so well that people wait around 45 minutes to get their hands on it. And on the weekend, that's just the wait time to get to the front window to place your order. But to get your hands on jerk chicken dumplings, sweet potato chili wings, beef and broccoli drenched in an oxtail gravy, bringing a good book and waiting it out is worth it. The weekdays are the goal at this West Philly soul food-Chinese hybrid. They open at noon daily, and on the weekend, it's swamped with 30 cousins grabbing crab rangoons and couples ordering spicy chicken skewers for a game night later. On a Tuesday early afternoon, the chances of you walking away with an order is 100%—except if it includes oxtail. That's (almost) always sold out." - candis mclean
