Show notes

You want to know all about the Philadelphia food scene and all the amazing and delicious places to eat? Well, you've landed on the right spot, and in this episode we are going to tell you exactly where you need to be eating now.

We have a huge announcement about the Philadelphia "Home Grown" Food and Music series that Delicious City is throwing in partnership with FCM Hospitality and that will be going on every Tuesday throughout the summer.

While both Eli and Sarah did a ton of eating at The James Beard Awards in Chicago this past week, there's literally nothing like some good old Philly homegrown delicious eats. Sure, other cities might have more restaurants, bigger restaurants, and maybe even some fancier restaurants, but the food being cooked here in Philadelphia is exciting like no other city can match!

Broken shoes fixed with orange gaff tape, first meal after giving birth, and clam strips by the sea are just a few of the topics we're kicking this mega episode off with.

SPOILER ALERT: We have the most hyped Philly Hoagieman in studio with us, Hoagie Dom, and he tells us about how the lore of Hoagie Dom has changed his life, having his monthly "Hoagie Residency" that sells out in 41 seconds once he posts the type of hoagie that he's serving.

As always, our Best Bites will be awarded to the worthy recipients, and Sarah will be bringing all the latest restaurant news to make sure you know exactly where you need to be making your next reservation.

And make sure you wait till the end to catch this week's food Jeopardy that has a very pertinent category that you're going to want to test your knowledge on along with the hosts.
