FYI Philly - January 14, 2017 - 50 Best Restaurants

January 14, 2017 (WPVI) -- This week on FYI Philly, we explore Philadelphia Magazine's 2017 list of 50 Best Restaurants and go on a culinary expedition from authentic South Philly Italian too Center City Indian and Vietnamese in the 'burbs.

Plus, a new ice cream spot offers a taste of summer in winter

And so does a backyard hot tub! We shop for a good swim in preparation for the Philly Home + Garden Show. And we hit the slopes at Camelback to celebrate a big day and for the chance to win a getaway.

It's an FYI for you Saturday at 7pm on 6abc, with an encore presentation Sunday at midnight.

Here are the details on this week's features:
