“features seasonal American food”

One of the most recognized personalities in Philadelphia dining, Aimee Olexy truly understands what hospitality means. Talula's Garden, her inspired Washington Square collaboration with Stephen Starr, counts as more than just a restaurant opening - it also marks a return to the city for the worldly front-of-house veteran, blessed with the ability to send the "fine-dining elite into effusions of breathless adjectives," according to Philadelphia magazine. Olexy grew up in West Chester, Pa., and her early food memories remain vivid as ever. "My parents were pretty hippie," she laughs. "Guitars and gardens and tie-dyes. We ate simply and naturally, picked blueberries and squash and hid in forsythia bushes for fun." As a teenager in the late '80s, she landed her very first restaurant job at Conshohocken's Spring Mill Café, in a jill-of-all- trades role that saw her waiting tables, sweeping floors and even doing a little cooking. It was here that Olexy first uncovered her love of making people happy as well as her fascination with cheese, one of many areas of expertise on display at Talula's Garden. "I loved pronouncing them and sniffing them and making the cheese plates, even then," she recalls.
