Grub Street finds it a little hard to believe that of all the restaurants that opened in Philly in 2010, Zagat couldn’t find one better than Bobby’s Burger Palace to round out its Top 10 Buzzy Philly Openings of 2010 list. Nine of the 10 spots — they include obvious choices like Starr’s Pizzeria Stella, Garces’ Trading Company and JG Domestic, Barbuzzo and Adsum — are spot on and clearly some of the most hyped and/or anticipated openings in recent memory. But seriously, Bobby’s Burger Palace, a chain installed on the periphery of University of Pennsylvania’s campus, was one of the 10 best they could come up with? Off the top of our heads we came up with R2L, Catahoula, Paesano’s and Village Belle? Shessh! You’d think at least Starr’s El Rey would get a mention. [Zagat]
