with Stellar Cheesesteak Challenge
To mark its first anniversary, Square 1682, a Kimpton restaurant in the Palomar Hotel, will host the Cheesesteak Challenge: High Steaks block party on Sunday, October 17 from 3 – 5 pm benefiting Philadelphia Academies. To pay homage to Philadelphia’s signature dish, nine top chefs will share their own rendition of the iconic sandwich, whether they want to serve up an old-school classic or break the mold with their culinary wizardry. Mayor Michael Nutter will announce the winner who will receive a Cheesesteak Challenge trophy and bragging rights. The block party will take place on Sansom Street, between 16th and 17th sts. For an admission fee of $20, all of which will benefit The Philadelphia Academies, 200 guests will be invited to watch the chefs compete and sample their cheesesteaks. Beer will be on sale from Philadelphia’s Victory brewery. Tickets can be purchased at: www.brownpapertickets.com
