While there’s no word yet of Khmer Kitchen turning out “mutant burritos” any time soon, just the fact that the city has a proper Cambodian restaurant to speak of, puts us one step closer to meeting the missing criteria that Anthony Bourdain laid down for us last year when we asked him why he and his No Reservations never shot a Philly episode. It’s too late now. That show is in its final throes, but perhaps the stars will align just right, and the new South Philly restaurant, which Meal Ticket says is now open and introducing us to “unique flavors of Cambodia” will adopt the time-honored tradition of stuffing tortillas with tasty morsels from its neighbors just in time for Bourdain to fire up his new CNN show. Until then, there’s always the joint’s pork and fermented fish sauce-laden Prah-Hok Kateeh. [Meal Ticket]
