Elwood

The Elwood experience is centered around sharing our personal connection to PA Dutch country cuisine and sharing the heirloom dishes and native ingredients of Pennsylvania’s rich culinary history. Jenny Ko, Chef Adam Diltz’s wife, designed our intimate and comfortable dining room inside a Philadelphia rowhouse, preserving the space to feel like home, a place where you can pass around family-style entrees like you’re seated at a holiday table in the country without leaving the city. There was a time in Philadelphia when hunters brought their wild game to the back door of the restaurant. When dishes like green sea turtle soup, catfish and waffles, and braised venison were restaurant staples. And when a young country’s mix of culture, culinary styles, and local ingredients birthed a food renaissance along the Delaware River. Chef Adam Diltz brings his appreciation for country cuisine centered around whole-animal butchery, native ingredients, and relationships with local suppliers to reintroduce these heirloom dishes to our guests.
