Fairmount food crawl

Written by , Posted in Arts & Entertainment, Food

The Fairmount neighborhood held its first-ever food crawl Feb. 23, when 13 neighborhood restaurants divvied up a whole pig and served portions as they wished. Entrée’s ranged between $2 and $4 and drink specials varied by restaurant. Participating locations included Ryebread, Fare Restaurant, Urban Saloon, Jack’s Firehouse, London Grill, Mugshots Coffeehouse and Rembrandt’s among others. People from all over Philadelphia congregated on Fairmount Avenue on the sunny day in attempt to beat the Fairmount Community Development Corporation’s challenge to “eat a whole pig in one day” by visiting each of the participating locations, which served food between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Mugshots Coffeehouse featured a bacon, lettuce, tomato and apple sandwich, while Tela’s Market & Kitchen gave out free pork rinds with guacamole and Rembrandt’s served ribs.
