History comes edibly alive this Sunday, Dec. 13, when the Gershman Y (401 S. Broad St.) holds its seventh annual Hannukah latke fry-up, Latkepalooza.
More than 3,000 potato pancakes are served to more than 500 adults and children every year. This year will feature variations by the likes of Marigold Kitchen, Snackbar, Zahav, Estia, Jones, Max and David's, Penne, Sabrina's Caf�, Singapore Chinese Kitchen and Whole Foods, among others.��The latke, which is always fried in oil, is a traditional Hannukah food celebrating the miracle of a small amount of consecrated olive oil that burned for eight days and nights while the Second Temple of Jerusalem was rededicated at the time of the Maccabean revolt in the second century BCE.
If that's too much of a mouthful for you, just enjoy your latkes and the balloon-sculpting clown, live music, childrens' arts and crafts and vendors.
Latkepalooza at the Gershman Y, 401 S. Broad St., Sun., Dec. 13, 2-4 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance at gershmanY.org or by phone at 215-545-4400;� adults are $15 in advance or $18 at the door, children $10 advance or $13 at the door.
Edibly alive history always sounds good. But latkes by Zahavians sounds even better! Might actually go this year.
