Sept 13 (Reuters) - A convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail last month was recaptured on Wednesday after eluding an expanding manhunt for weeks and unnerving residents in the suburbs west of Philadelphia, state police said on social media. School districts canceled classes for a day after Cavalcante was seen on security-camera video on a public garden trail. More than a week after his escape, he stole a van and drove about 25 miles (40 km) before abandoning the vehicle. He also stole a rile from a garage as the owner of the house who fired several shots at him. After his escape from the county jail, authorities had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

I'm a Philadelphia native who used to work as a chef and baker in restaurants around the city. Philadelphia is known for its cheesesteaks, but it also has great Mexican, Italian, and Thai food. There are too many restaurants in Philadelphia worth trying to list them all here. However, these 12 restaurants are my tried-and-true favorites that every first-time visitor should try during a trip to Philadelphia. In my opinion, it serves some of the best Thai food in the country.
