Hidden Gems
and Local Favorites for
Cinco de Mayo
x
I’m thrilled that my best friend recently
moved to Chester County. Not only is
she now just a short drive away, but it
gives me a reason to explore the foodie
goodness in a new area of Chester
County.
In the eight years that I’ve lived in West
Chester, I haven’t had much reason to
head into Southern Chester County,
other than occasional stops for some
“Dangerously Delicious Pies” at the Octoraro Hotel in Oxford. So, since her
move to Avondale, I have had lots of
fun exploring the nooks and crannies
in her backyard. My most recent discovery is just in time for Cinco de Mayo!
Here’s how it went down.
I was heading down Baltimore Pike
from Kennett to Avondale when I realized I was dangerously low on gas, so I
pulled into a Valero gas station to fill
up. The credit card machine at the
pump was out of order, so I ran inside
to pay. Inside was the same problem:

wrinkled $10 bill from my pocket, I
saw a small sign,

things in the world -- pork with pineapple.

AIMEE
OLEXY
With Mother’s Day on the horizon, we sat down with the woman behind one of the most
successful restaurants in Chester County to talk work and motherhood. Aimee Olexy,
owner of Talula’s Table, smiles through the day-to-day challenges of balancing the quaint
Kennett Square market (and most sought-after table in Philadelphia) and her biggest job
of all, being a mother.
Though most of us have to wait a year to get a moment with Aimee in all her glory, she makes lots of special time
for her biggest fan, daughter Annalee Talula Rae. Here’s what Aimee had to say about being successful at work
and as a mother.

THE SERVICE:
•
NICKY: The manager came over and
seated us. We ordered two flights of beers:
five 5-oounce beers per person, and shared
them. They were good! Loved the ales and
the IPA. We almost ordered tiny shots of
Jameson and tiny shots of Baileys to make
tiny car bombs out of the tiny stouts, but
something told us that no one sells .5 ounce
shots! Future business ideas!
BRANDON: The service was good at Sly
Fox. I give any server credit that works at a
brewery because there is an awful lot of
information to learn and remember. We had
a few different people come up to our table
throughout the night to check on us and

CONVERSATION
AND CHEMISTRY:

NICKY: We got into the subject of music, which
is a big passion of his. I love talking about music, so I
jumped right in and challenged him with some new
music that he might like. I’ll let you know as soon as
he comes back to me and tells me he LOVED it! We
went to McKenzie’s after dinner to grab another beer
… I had a seasonal and he had the Pale Ale, which is
always delicious. Then he challenged me to a game
of beer pong on the TOUCH game machine and was
a little bitter when I kicked his butt. Ha!
BRANDON: I believe we did have some chemistry just the way the conversation kept rolling all
night. She was a very easy girl to talk to and we got
along very well, although I couldn’t tell if there were
sparks.

me with Nicky is that she said she’s a big fan
of beer. So, when we decided to try a beer
tasting, we thought, ‘Why not try all 10
beers they have on tap?’ My personal two
favorite beers were the 113 IPA and the
Phoenix Pale Ale. Both were pretty hoppy
beers, but were not overly bitter and were
very drinkable. Out of the 10 samples there
were probably only two we didn’t care for,
and that’s a pretty good success rate.

throwing in the classics “Dreamweaver”, “Love Is Alive” and “Really

At the end Smith thanked everyone
for coming & supporting them. He
talked about Fleshlight (the #1 selling men’s sex toy) & announced that
there were several being given away
as a raffle, but since this was technically a school they couldnt give them
out on the premises, so they’d be
mailed to winners. He closed by saying “you’ve proven today that your
sense of humor is way worse than
ours” since we just spent an hour listening & laughing along with them
doing nothing but talk back & forth.
I anticipated laughing & I was not
dissapointed. Several times I teared
up I was laughing so hard. I was
chuckling to myself hours later at
things that were said. As I said about
listening to SModcasts, I will say
about seeing Mr. Smith in any capacity. He is a genuinely funny guy. He
& Mosier play off each other just like
old pals, just like they are.
