Sept. 24: Historical "Cast Iron Chef" cookoff at Fort Mifflin
Nicknamed "Valiant Defender of the Delaware" for its cock-blocking of Redcoat pansies in the frosty final winter of the Revolutionary War, Fort Mifflin (Fort Mifflin and Hog Island roads) abuts the airport on the edge of the Delaware River. On Sat., Sept. 24, the circa-1772 fort will host Cast Iron Chef, a live-fire cooking competition from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Using a surprise basket of seasonal ingredients and only the fort's ample fireplaces, experienced "hearth cooks" each representing a different century (like kick-ass Puritan Mercy Ingraham, pictured at right) will prepare a meal themed around the culinary traditions of their respective time periods. Italian Market purveyors like Di Bruno's, Esposito's, Giordano's and Cannuli's are supplying the ingredients for the meals, which you can sample through special tasting tickets. General admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for veterans and kids.
