PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Three restaurants featured on FYI Philly were just showcased by the New York Times' 2023 Restaurant List as being among "the 50 places in the United States that we are most excited about now."

Earlier this year FYI visited El Chingon at 1524 S 10th St. in South Philly. Chef Carlos Aparicio is featuring a menu with traditional Puebla delicacies.

El Chingon is brimming with the flavors of Mexico from the mind of Chef Aparicio.

We also went inside the kitchen at Kalaya at its new space at 4 West Palmer Street in Fishtown. Chef and owner Chutatip Suntaranon expanded here from her smaller spot in Bella Vista but is still serving up the southern Thai flavors that put her on the restaurant map.

Kalaya Thai Kitchen has been transformed into a new space in Fishtown, but expect the same great food and charm found at the original.

In August, Chefs Amanda Shulman and Alex Kemp gave us a tour of My Loup at 2005 Walnut Street in Center City. They also shared their personal story of how they met and got cooking together.

My Loup is the sibling restaurant to Her Place Supper Club. It's a homey spot for French-inspired market cuisine with a menu that changes daily.
