I am proud to introduce some of our signature STARR dishes to Acela First Class.

Stephen Starr helped transform Philadelphia into one of the most vibrant restaurant cities in America. His trend-setting success in New York, Pennsylvania, DC and Florida has earned him multiple honors, including “Restaurateur of the Year” from both Bon Appétit and Zagat and “Outstanding Restaurateur” from the James Beard Foundation.

 

BLACK PEPPER BEEF

 

 

Like New York City and Philly, Buddakan’s Black Pepper Beef is just bursting with flavor. Tender ribeye is perfectly marinated in a spiced black pepper sauce, wok-tossed with herbs and red finger chiles, then finally topped with crispy Chinese crullers.

 

 

This vibrant dish, from the iconic STARR restaurant the Continental, helped put Philadelphia’s restaurant scene on the map. Chilled soba noodles and fresh vegetables are sauteed in a tangy sesame dressing, then drizzled in chili oil, and topped with togarashi spiced cashews and sesame seeds.

CHILLED SESAME NOODLE SALAD

 

 

LASAGNA

 

 

This selection from Pizzeria Stella is as warm and comforting as the neighborhood it comes from. Each bite features traditional lasagna noodles layered with tomato sauce — perfectly balanced with just a hint of sweetness, rich ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

 

 

Enjoy the flavors of Adrian, a first-of-its-kind restaurant concept celebrating Philadelphia’s rich history in sports and entertainment. Delicate crêpes are gently filled with creamy ricotta and nestled in a bed of savory tomato sauce then topped with mozzarella cheese.

BAKED MANICOTTI
