Bring Us Your Piggy Pudding (Again)
Maybe it’s because I dress for winter like I’m a Dickens-era street urchin. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for an old-fashioned redemption story. Either way, my all-time favorite story is A Christmas Carol . So every year I prowl the channels and watch as many adaptations as possible. And it’s always the same: whether it’s Alastair Sim, George C. Scott, or even that one with Mr. Magoo, the real star, for me, is Mrs. Cratchit’s plum pudding. That sounded naughtier than I intended.

Peanut Chews—Your Grandpa’s Grandpa’s Favorite Candy
Peanut Chews are as lowkey Philly as snowballs whipping past Santa’s noggin or a pretzel rod stirring a cup of wooder ice. In other words—they’re known, just not ‘30-year-old boxer running up the Art Museum steps ’ known. But don’t get it twisted—Peanut Chews are quintessentially Philadelphia. Molasses-forward bites packed with roasted peanuts, dipped in a no-nonsense dark-chocolate coating that packs a Heavyweight punch. And they didn’t need a statue to make their point—just

Baltimore’s Highway of Pit Beef and Asphalt Smoke
A lot of cities are famous for their street food — crema-lathered elote on Avenida Michoacán, dirty-water dogs from a cart sitting at Broadway and 42nd, crispy arancini peddled by fruit vendors through the narrow alleyways of Palermo. But only Baltimore is known for its highway food. The Pulaski Highway, to be exact. Since the early 1970s, this 35-mile stretch from “East Bawlmor” to Abingdon has been Maryland’s open-air food court — a smoky corridor of roadside shacks carving

I Don’t Know What You Heard About… P.M.P.
For those of you who scored high on your SATs or have taken in the breathtaking views of Fall Creek Gorge between classes — you already know. For everyone else, sorry, but this story won’t involve a velvet wide-brimmed hat with a feather, an ivory-handled cane, or any buff dudes hanging upside down doing crunches. Because a P.M.P. has nothing to do with cats named Dolemite or Fifty Cent. It has everything to do with Poor Man’s Pizza — more specifically, Ithaca, New York’s l

Nu-Way Weiner
Much like Seattle’s grunge scene in the early 1990s, Coney Island, Brooklyn had its own underground movement in the 1910s. Only it wasn’t a young Kurt Cobain playing at Central Saloon, or Cornell and Vedder humming what would later become Hunger Strike before a Mookie Blaylock rehearsal. It was kitchens full of cooks with last names like Todoroff, Rigas, Keros, and Mallis sharpening their knives inside the hot dog sphere of Charles Feltman — the man who turned a pushcart into

Teaberry Ice Cream
Despite tasting like Ben-Gay stirred into Pepto Bismol, this unique flavor built a loyal following. Makes sense, though considering ice cream was sold behind pharmacy counters, and a scoop of Teaberry with a splash of cola syrup from the soda jerk was practically a prescription.
