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.

Experience culinary delight from The Dandelion in Philadelphia, a refined tribute to the British pub, where traditional U.K. cuisine is given a modern twist. Indulge in their tender Tandoori chicken, perfectly seasoned with masala spice and complemented by a refreshing cucumber-cilantro yogurt. This exquisite dish is paired with fragrant coconut basmati rice, enriched with almonds, pistachios and sweet raisins, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

This selection from Pizzeria Stella in Philadelphia is as warm and comforting as the neighborhood it comes from. Delicate crêpes are gently filled with creamy ricotta and nestled in a bed of savory tomato sauce, then topped with mozzarella cheese.

Unexpected interpretations of classics join traditional cooking from El Vez in Philadelphia. This delightful Mexican dish combines the earthy flavors of mole-glazed corn tortillas filled with tender roasted chicken, caramelized onions and smoky poblano peppers, resting on a bed of rich guajillo mole sauce, topped with lime crema and crumbled cotija cheese.
