Afternoon Snacks
On today's afternoon snacks, giant food, free food, and one very porky dinner.
Afternoon Snacks
Gluttony for a good cause, free food, and Suckling Pig Sundays, on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Do you like watching people eat giant food? We know you do—someone must, or there wouldn’t be so many TV shows about it. Well, tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 8th) you can visit Mac’s Tavern (226 Market St.) and watch it live instead! The 1st Annual $#*!show Eating Competition starts at 2 p.m., and will pit four contestants against each other to see who can finish the ridiculous burger (shown above) first—or, more likely, at all. WMMR’s Preston will be there broadcasting the whole thing, and spectators will down $4 drinks knowing that $1 of every food item or beverage sold is going to The Dude Hates Cancer. The Mac’s Tavern team was a top fundraiser for that event last year, and it seems like they’re gunning to top themselves this time around.
Also on Saturday, if you visit the Oyster House (1516 Sansom St.) for brunch, you’ll have the opportunity to try a couple of freshly-tapped beers from Hill Farmstead Brewery of Greensboro, VT—their Edwards Pale Ale and Everett Porter. Better yet, the beers come with a free catfish po’boy slider as a snack.
The ever-changing weekday tasting menus at Matyson (37 S. 19th St.) are a favorite around here, and now that they’re offering Suckling Pig Sundays, it looks like their crew is really trying to tighten their grasp on us throughout the entire week. If the words “crispy skin salad” don’t do it for you, well, we just don’t know. Peep the rest of the menu, which goes for just $35 a head, right here:
Crispy Skin Salad
Frisee, Asian pear, pickled carrot, togarashi honey
Herbed Polenta
Smoked tomato & pig ragu, aged goat cheese
Slow Roasted Suckling Pig
Braised kale, corn, birch beer bbq
Apple Crisp
The catfish po boy at the Oyster House is sublime! One of the secret best sandwiches in the city.— Emily_K
