Running through tomorrow, Aug. 14, the Amish/PA Dutch merchants of Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch streets) will host their annual Pennsylvania Dutch Festival celebrating the traditions, foods and crafts of Lancaster County. This weekend marks the 21st year of the festival, which goes down in the market's center court seating area from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some of the delicious traditional foods available include homemade fudge, nut brittle, doughnuts, sausage sandwiches, ice cream, funnel cakes, pot roast, hot ham sandwiches and much more.
The festival's closing day looks to be a real treat: The fun will move outdoors to create a county fair right on Arch. There will be buggy and horse-drawn wagon rides around the market, a farm animal petting zoo and live bluegrass. For those driving to the event, discounted parking is available for $4 at 12th and Filbert. I cannot write about the Amish without adding that 'tis a fine barn, but sure 'tis no pool, English.

The Jake's 5-lb. Challenge is the most appetizing for some reason. I could easily do the Tastykakes, pretzels, Peanut Chews and Champ Cherry but that sandwich is ridiculous. Can someone offer me some sort of dessert challenge? A few boxes of Kandy Kakes would be, well, cake.

Felicia, let's do this challenege! I'm so serious....
This is starting to get re-god-damn-diculous. The Peanut Chews have to be the toughest part aside from the soft pretzels. At least with the sandwich there's some grease to help it slide down. I could do half the challenge without any problem.
I will come and photograph you and Felicia eating this sandwich, which seems wider than the both of you together and I mean that in a nice way.

What? No mention of the tuna?
We ate it before we could take pics... :D
Makes sense. Love that tuna.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Untossed, Meal Ticket. Meal Ticket said: So @mpsteel turned us on to hoagies from Dino's in Margate City. Can you recommend other Jersey Shore sandwich spots? http://bit.ly/bZiFEh [...]
White House isn't as good as people say it is. Sack of Subs in delicious! You should also try the Presto sandwich at Salvo in Longport
I was always a fan of White House tuna... not sure how it compares to Dino's, but it has the same "Already Eaten Before You Even Realize It" effect.
McGowan's in Sea Isle City. Long waits but you can snack on chips in the meantime or call ahead. Breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. It's got that grease-truck gusto without the health code violations.
I second McGowan's. Also, Russo's Market in North Wildwood never disappoints. You'd also benefit from calling ahead here.
Get a cheesesteak from Voltaco's in Ocean City. I've heard many say it's better than any you can find in Philly, and I might have to agree.
Voltaco's is supreme!!!
Definitely check out McGowan's in Sea Isle and Ocean Deli in Avalon- get the Chicken Cheesesteak- I know what you're thinking, but trust me.
barrel's of margate (the take-out side) has great sandwiches. i always go for the chicken cutlet with varying toppings. a great deal, as well, because you get about the same amount of chicken as the entree version.
Phat Steaks in Northfield. Really great cheesesteaks and sandwiches. The barnyard is the best. Steak, chicken and bacon with pepperjack cheese and some sauce ( maybe ranch ) on an ac roll. Bangin
Voltaco's Italian Foods in Ocean City, NJ makes some seriously epic hoagies and cheesesteaks -- all on Atlantic City Bakery bread. http://www.yelp.com/biz/voltacos-italian-foods-ocean-city#hrid:nX7_74LVd4rM0uxhDrt0PQ

Larry Rosenblum tells Meal Ticket he's in the early stages of opening Spread Bagelry, a Montreal-style wood-fire-oven bagel bakery and café, at 262 S. 20th Street just off Rittenhouse Square. Rosenblum, an entrepreneur who's spent much of his career in publishing, has partnered with Mark Cosgrove (he cooked at Steve Poses' Frog back the day) and Jane Gallina (a Le Cordon Bleu grad and former pastry chef at Brasserie Perrier) for the concept, described as "Cold Stone Creamery meets the Montreal bagel" — meaning customers can trick out their orders with a highly customizable selection of spreads and local, seasonal ingredients (think bacon and cheese sourced from Lancaster County). There'll be pre-set sandwich and brunch menus, too, plus espresso and coffee. Rosenblum, whose grandfather was a bagel baker in World War II-era Poland, says Spread will have indoor and outdoor seating; the partners are hoping to open around Labor Day weekend.
Montreal bagels, which tend to have a transfixing effect on people, differ from the typical New York style in both flavor and feel — they dough is sweeter (they're typically boiled in honey water), and the wood-firing produces a crispy exterior around a denser crumb.
Tastes like a cross between a NY bagel and a pretzel? I'll take it!
This changes everything. Now we just need someone to open up a Montreal-style Jewish deli (like Mile End in Brooklyn based on Schwartz's) to serve smoked meat sandwiches and poutine!
monteal bagels, get in my belly
Well this is just fantastic news. Mr. Rosenblum, if you're out there--what about smoking up some Montreal-style smoked meat to accompany those bagels?
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Untossed, alexrolfe and Leah G, Meal Ticket. Meal Ticket said: Rittenhouse is getting a Montreal-style bagel joint. Wood-burning oven bagels for all! http://bit.ly/ciODwB [...]
Boo Montreal bagels. Think bagel chip thats oddly sweet and too weak to hold an egg. Smoked meat - now you're speaking to me. Ey?
Larry's HOT. His bagel idea is HOTTER. I'm really looking forward to this place, especially on weekends.
I can't wait to try this place!!! Jane is hands down my favorite chef ever, so this will be pretty interesting :) yay!
Although the texture of Montreal bagels is fine, they are too sweet. I have a highly sensitive taste for sweet. I will try them but if they are too sweet, feh. I buy H & H bagels at Capogiro. Praise the Lord. All other Philly bagels are garbage.
With Mark Cosgrove at the helm, it's guaranteed that he'll come up with an excellent variation of the montreal style bagel that will put the rest to shame. So stop your belly-achin' and give it a chance, it's not like you have any better options--ahem, Dunkin' Donuts and Einstein Bagels? Puh-lease.
i know that guy Mark and he's gonna make one awesome bagel!
[...] Spread Bagelry is the name of the Montreal-style bagel spot set for 262 S 20th Street. [Meal Ticket] [...]
Early stages? So it's not opened yet. Won't hold my breath.
I love the idea of a different kind of quality bagel place in the city! I hope it does open as planned. It is only my humble opinion but they might want to reconsider the name. It seems to be a little too concrete and not well suited for the concept of a bagel place that is new and different. What about "New Moon Bagelry"? or "Sensational Bagels"? or Plentifull Bagels? Any other suggestions?

uhhhh you mean female??
daytime drinker, that's a girl? Kinda looks like a Nordic Paul Bettany to me.
put some lipstick on grow out the hair a bit and it would look like Sara Dalin from bananarama
That's totally a guy!
Agreed, that is a dude.
Maybe it's Ellen!
Androgyny is really a simplification of design, much like Ikea.
In Europe, anything you can squirt out of a tube goes into a tube. There are grocery aisles of this kind of humor.
That stuff is both horrible and delicious at the same time!
I love the canned/tubed fish section of the supermarket - it's a weird thing...whenever I travel, I have to pop into local stores to see what they carry - and I've totally has this from Ikea already -- and it's not too good :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalles_kaviar "The tube has maintained the same design from the beginning, and depicts the son of then CEO of the manufacturing company. The tube design is well-recognised in Sweden."
