Win a copy of Matt Armendariz's On A Stick!

We've got a giveaway copy of L.A.-based food blogger/photographer Matt Armendariz's On a Stick! — published by Quirk, it's a gorgeous cookbook literally centered around fare stuck on sticks, from curry shrimp and pineapple skewers and chicken satay to deep-fried candy bars and adorably impaled Scotch eggs. You like, you want? Entering is easy: Before 4:30 p.m. this afternoon, leave a comment on this post describing a Philly-based dish you'd like to eat off a stick, and why. It can be a restaurant dish, something from a food truck, something your Armenian neighbor makes, anything — just tell us why you want to gnaw it off a stick, dude. We'll pick our favorite by the end of the day. Have fun!
UPDATE: Cheers to Meal Ticket reader bje55 for his inspired and locally logical food-on-a-stick suggestion:
Roast Pork a la Jack 'n Jill. I'm envisioning something resembling the famous Chocolate eclair and strawberry shortcake popsicles from childhood, but in mine the middle will be perfectly roasted pork held together with copious amounts of lardo. The outer crumble will consist of caramelized onions and roast garlic with a hard sharp provolone stick.
One word: scrappsicles. Do I really need to say why? Rock Colors
It would like to eat the squid ink croquettes that are served with the octopus from Noble off a stick. MLF
Hear me out: water ice on a stick. You think that already exists in popsicle form? I laugh in your face! Real wooder ice has a looser consistency than your average pop. I want the sugar-filled meltyness of water ice paired with the on-a-stick convenience of a popsicle. AND, get this: the stick = pretzel rod.
When do I get my royalty check? molls to the wall
The frozen mimosa on a steek (for those of you Jeff Dunham fans). An all grown up tribute to the adolescent treat that broke you mother's favorite drinking glass: the frozen orange juice popsicle. It's 5 o'clock somewhere! Cleon

Brown Betty;s coconut cupcake. Creamy icing and coconut on half of the stick and soft moist cake on the other half. Stickin-Licking good! Delaney
