Episode 51: Two Year Birthday Vibes, Cake Trivia, and Georgian Cheese Boats

Red October has washed over Philadelphia again, and Marisa's got a game to get to, so we jump right into all things food and drink, including ballpark eats and birthday cake!

In this episode:

• It's Delicious City's 2nd birthday! Thank you for spending two delectable years with us. We talk favorite cake flavors, annoying cake trends, and birthday cake trivia
• Dave's Best Bites include two sandwiches and a dessert, one of which delivers "an upper cut of flavor to your face"
• Eli's Best Bites are a sourdough cheese boat found in Reading Terminal Market and an outstanding chicken dish at the newly-reopened High Street
• Marisa's Best Bites are from two different baseball stadiums - one, of course, being our home turf of Citizens Bank Park. She also describes her mind-blowing dinner at My Loup
• Food News:
• If you are coming to either of the maiden Voi•áge Dinners at Kalaya this week, make sure you say hi to the Delicious City crew. This dinner series is a collab with top-tier chefs, and Eli was featured in Philly Mag to discuss the epic new venture
• The craft beer industry is taking a hit. What can be done locally?
• Lots happening for Halloween! There's a Stranger Things beer garden, a few murder mystery parties across the city, and a witchy bar crawl in East Passyunk
• Mike Solomonov and Steve Cook donated a day's worth of restaurant sales to a volunteer-run emergency medical service in Israel. They raised over $100K to provide aid to those caught in the conflict overseas
• The Philadelphia Eagles are now offering their own vodka and whiskey under the name Bird Gang Spirits. Bottoms up!
• A Mexican spot in Northern Liberties is offering all-you-can-eat tacos to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Eli and Dave guess how many tacos each of them can put down in one sitting
• …and more!
