Who Is Catherine?
Marybeth Brown and her chef husband Kevin McMunn have named their restaurant in
honor of Marybeth's beloved grandmother. They serve a delicious menu
described as New American cuisine. The couple uses local suppliers for flowers,
produce, baked goods and goat cheese.
Framed on one wall of
Catherine's, amidst the stylized low lighting, the antique cupboards and the
delicious entrees served on table after table, is a photograph of Catherine
Davis. For over 60 years, she was a waitress at Mitchell Fletcher's and Dairy
Maid in Philadelphia, presiding over thousands of customers who came for good
food and to be welcomed by "Kitty."
Now, years later, in a
beautiful restaurant named after her, Catherine's dedication and memory lives
on through her granddaughter Marybeth's dreams. From this photograph, she is
still working today, making sure that every customer who enters Catherine's is
treated like a member of the family.
