Delish Chicken Salad in the Suburbs

Usually I'm eating my way through Manayunk or Center City Philadelphia, but recently I joined a Ben FM client for lunch and was charmed and amazed.  There's a sweet little gem of a restaurant in Blue Bell called The Farmer's Daughter (in Normandy Farms where Coleman's used to be) and if you're in Montgo, you should definitely pop in for lunch or dinner.  The Farmer's Daughter features an exceptional menu by Chef Mtele Abubakar's ("Modern Farm Cooking") that uses locally sourced ingredients - that's why everything tastes so incredibly fresh and delicious.  I was particularly impressed by the selection of farmstead cheeses available as first or main course, and although I didn't have one, the salads looks fresh and fabulous (and got rave reviews from my table mates)!  I can tell you first hand that the chicken salad was delightful as was the little taste of gert's crab cake sandwich!  Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was super-professional and I really loved the presentation!  Take Mom out to lunch, or treat a business partner or colleague.  The ambiance and history alone is worth the visit, but the food will have you booking your return engagement...I promise!
