thrillist.com – Bad news: You’re going to die. Good news: There’s plenty of delicious Philly food to eat before you do. Just do us a favor and don’t eat everything on our Philadelphia food bucket list at one time, lest said list ironically becomes the reason you kick said bucket.
1. BRISKET CHEESESTEAK
Deke’s BBQ
MANAYUNK
The sit-down iteration may be shuttered in Roxborough, but the carry-out storefront remains. It’s worth the visit to stock up on all the fixings of the ideal barbecue, no grill work or good weather required.
2. TACOS
Cantina Dos Segundos
NORTHERN LIBERTIES
Doubled up tortillas just mean double the love at Dos Segundos, where you can build your own tacos (goat is an option) and order late, making it the perfect place to go after a few hours at the bars.
3. FUNFETTI CAKE
Bud & Marilyn’s
GAYBORHOOD
The cake is a towering masterpiece that you should be commended for finishing (if you can). To sweeten the deal, pair the cake with Bud & Marilyn’s signature rosé slushie: the frose.
4. SALTED CARAMEL BUDINO
Barbuzzo
GAYBORHOOD
Save room for dessert after you wolf down an entire pizza drizzling with egg yolk, because Barbuzzo puts dark chocolate, vanilla bean, caramel, and sea salt all in a little jar that packs more flavor than its size suggests.
I have now made it my duty to check off every item on this list that I haven’t tried yet….stay tuned folks.
Yum! That’s a worthy mission.
Good to know that I still have things to cross off the list. Keeps me busy before I die. 🙂
Yum! This looks delicious!
