WEST PHILADELPHIA -- Beginning June 21 and continuing every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday through August, Marigold Kitchen diners can participate in this season of Marigold Test Kitchens.

Through the 5-8 courses, staff will explain the concepts behind the dishes and where the ingredients came from. $65 tickets (plus tax and tip) include the food and chats with co-chef/owners Andrew Kochan and Tim Lanza. These dinners will seat only 25 people so call 215-222-3699 for reservations.
