TOMORROW: Relive the edible past at Royal's Burger Bash

| Such a romantic setting for the burger, no? |
It seems like just yesterday we moved to South Philly, took the brakes off our bikes and careened, pell-mell, into the happening party scene of the SoWash neighborhood.� Oh wait, that was seven years ago, you say?� Hmm.� The seventh anniversary of the Royal Tavern (937 East Passyunk Ave.) , marked by the first ever Burger Bash,� seems to bear your assertion out.
From 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., burgers of "many shapes and sizes" and topped with every sort of thing, will dominate the specials chalkboard; drink specials will tempt those who have to work early Wednesday morning, while former Royal chef and current Rock Tits DJ "Nez" will spin from 9 p.m. on. Burger and beer rundown after the jump.
Starting the Thursday after the Burger Bash, the Royal kitchen will get down preparing favorite specials and menu items from years past, as voted by the drinking public. Check out what Team Meal Ticket, in an admittedly whiskey-toxic condition, voted for. See the complete list of winners after the jump.
Everyone who cast a ballot for their favorite items from the past will be entered into a raffle for T-shirts, bar tabs and gift certificates. Maybe star bartenders from the Royal's storied past will show up... remember Sunday brunch with Suzanne Woods and the night before Thanksgiving with Casey Parker?
