Tony Luke to rep Philly at Great American Food and Music Fest

Food Network's Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri are hosting the Great American Food and Music Fest this coming June in Mountain View, California. The tuneage end of the festival is looking a little, er, sparse at the moment ï¿½ Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Little Feat are among the confirmed acts ï¿½ but the eating end of the spectrum seems sick. Serious Eats founder Ed Levine has put together a collection of iconic American eateries to provide food for the event ï¿½ think Pink's Hot Dogs out of L.A., Katz's Deli in NYC, Anchor Bar (originators of the Buffalo wing) out of western New York, etc. Holding it down for us? Tony Luke's.

There's no better pick to regulate this ish for Philly ï¿½ the cheesesteak ambassador/sometime actor already bested Flay in an episode of Throwdown. Here's hoping he figures out some way to make Fieri stop wearing so many terrible bowling shirts.
