The Loving Hut: South Street Enigma

I recently did a piece for Philly Broadcaster on the mysterious, but nationally revered founder of the Loving Hut vegan "fast food" restaurant chain: The Supreme Master Ching Hai.  The Loving Hut has sprouted from merely 1 storefront to hundreds of locations worldwide in only 2 years.  After reading an article about this enigmatic Vietnamese chain in VegNews Magazine, (which awarded the restaurant the 2010 Veggie Awards for Reader's Choice Favorite Restaurant) I was truly intrigued. 

This intrigue led to to the Loving Hut Worldwide Website (Prestige Worldwide-wide-wide-wide), which informed me that the first location on the east coast would be.... dun dun dunnn.... on SOUTH ST. IN PHILLY!  So after taking a few visits since it's opening in August, it has become quite an awesome but strange place in my mind.  Undoubtedly, not many people know about this place due to such a non-glamorous storefront.  But their taro bubble tea, sushi, and sandwiches are worth finding.  Read the article to learn mo' bout it.
