Afternoon Snacks
Drunken displays of athleticism, a lesson in self-sufficient woodsiness, and a word about accepting gifts graciously: all on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Afternoon Snacks
Welp, guys, it’s that time again: Beer Olympics time, that is. (More accurately, it will be that time tonight starting at 7 p.m.) What can we even say about the Beer Olympics at Frankford Hall (1210 Frankford Ave.)? Well, for one, we can say that they sound more like Beer Double Dare, but we’re perfectly OK with that! Hosted by hardcore darling Eli Shaika, the games will see contestants throwing beers and sausages around, and trying to avoid excess sloshing of their full liter drafts while engaging in various activities—you know, doing the limbo, navigating an obstacle course, sliding glasses to teammates waiting to fill a bucket with their contents. NBD.
In decidedly more sedate news, the Greensgrow Community Kitchen at St. Michael’s Church (2139 East Cumberland St.) has an incredibly useful class lined up for you: Whole Fish Cooking & Cleaning with Standard Tap Chef Carolynn Angle. Maybe you had one of those idyllic childhoods where every summer was spent at the lake, where your parents taught you important lessons in self-sufficiency. In that case, you probably already know everything about gutting and butchering a fish and can save yourself the $35 registration fee. The rest of us, however, should consider keeping our schedules clear on Saturday, Sept. 29th from noon to 2 p.m. (You can register and pay for the class here.)
And one more quickie: Missouri’s Askinosie Chocolate is some of the best small-batch chocolate being made in the U.S. (so says Bon Appétit mag), and you can snag a taste tomorrow at DiBruno Bros. Rittenhouse (1730 Chestnut St.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A rep from Askinosie will be on hand to demo their products, and we don’t know about you, but we happen to think it’s pretty rude to turn down free chocolate.
