What we ate in Philly in 27 hours





27 Hours of Eating in Philadelphia (No children’s portions, no leftovers):

Chicken and Waffles: What is that? Well it is two pieces of fried chicken served with a waffle smothered in what could be described as chicken pot pie filling....L votes yah, J is on the fence.

Baked macaroni and cheese, no one is on the fence this was very, very tasty.

Scrabbler special- eggs, spinach, tomatoes, feta and, to Ngila's delight tator, tots. Yes our 5 year old ate fried chicken, gravy waffle and tator tots for lunch. (not much of the waffle though).

Philly Cheesesteaks(2): L-post cheesesteak declared his east coast adventure was complete, J-decided I don't understand the cheesesteak, canned mushrooms, soggy bun, I mean the meat was good but nothing....anyway not to tarnish Liam's dream.

Souvlaki Dinners(2): Reasonable Greek food

Bags store-bought popcorn: We always eat popcorn when we read Narnia

Crepe: Decent

Pancakes: Decent

Plumbs(2) and Nectarine: The Market has a fantastic array of goodies baked by the Amish, unless of course you can't stand the line on Saturday and decided to come back for breakfast Sunday, in that case to bad so sad for you. You will have to eat crepes and pancakes prepared by pagans. J,N & B conveniently like pagan food, especially when topped with strawberries, bananas and blackberries. L-sulked over lost Amish apple dumplings and ate a plum and nectarine.

Large Slices of Pizza(5): A distant cousin of dominoes, didn't make us ill, and went down quickly. Grumpy kitchen staff made the experience pretty enjoyable.

Cannoli: Nice way to end the trip

Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's old place, Independence Hall and a smattering of arty shops made the grade as well, but as they failed to serve us food we can't discuss them here.

  1. So from what I understand you took a trip to philly... to eat. Is that correct?

  2. No we took a trip to philly because it is 2 hours away and we have never been there before, but most of our outings are influenced by food adventures so it seemed a fitting way to recap our weekend. Truth be told we weren't there long enough to comment much on the city, we are planning a return trip.
