We hosted Philly Cooks, our annual celebration of the city's top food and drink, on February 1st — and the photos are almost as delicious as the dishes.

Philly Cooks is our annual celebration of the top chefs, restaurants, dishes, and drinks in Philadelphia. On February 1st, the city’s culinary elite descended on the Sheraton Downtown Philadelphia for a night of delectable bites from the city’s top 50 restaurants, as selected by our editors.

Even better, all that fun and food supported a great cause: The Food Trust, which works to provide access to affordable, nutritious food (and runs many of the city’s top farmers’ markets) received a portion of ticket sales as well as 100 percent of proceeds from the night’s raffle.

Take a look at some of our favorite moments — and mouthwatering dishes — from this year’s celebration of Philly cuisine.
