Sunday: Carolyn Wyman's Father's Day cheesesteak tour
Your father doesn't want another tie. He has a rack full of them. And even if he doesn't, how many ties does he really need? Sure, he thanked you for the one you got him last Father's Day — but you can bet his heart sank just a little when you handed him that narrow, predictable box. It's not too late to give Dad something different this year, and Carolyn Wyman has just the thing. On Saturday, she'll lead a special Father's Day edition of her Taste of Philly Food Tour, featuring Dad's favorite âguyâ food — the cheesesteak. During the 75-minute excursion through Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch), Wyman will recount the history of the cheesesteak, discuss its iconic status in Philly culture, and introduce you and Dad to the best cheesesteaks (and variations )the market has to offer. After the tour, you'll have a chance to snag Dad a personally autographed copy of Wyman's definitive The Great Philly Cheesesteak Book, which she'll be selling at The Cookbook Stall from noon to 2. I asked the cheesesteak authority (full disclosure: she's also our resident expert here at City Paper) what makes a cheesesteak a better gift than a tie. "Well, for one thing," she replied, "a cheesesteak has Whiz." Tickets cost $15.95, and advance reservations are required.
