My absolute favorite part about the Michelin Awards in Philly - which I care and know very little about - is that the Michelin Man mascot attended what otherwise seems like a lavish and refined event. 😂

Fun fact: My family called me the Michelin Man as a baby because I had so many rolls.

I went to Boscov's for a shoe sale recently and discovered they are marketing his-and-her camouflage sweatsuits as "Rustic Romance."

As a Pennsylvanian, I feel both seen and highly offended.

Is Boscov’s selling the most offensively Pennsylvania outfit ever?
A trip to this Pennsylvania-based chain for a shoe sale led to the discovery of an outfit that questionably marries rural and urban Pennsylvania fashion.

I want everyone to post their hometown slop (if you don't have a cuisine that qualifies then your town has zero culture).

Skyline is fine and hits at 3 am just like taco bell lol

Not to brag, but as of tonight I'm 83-1 in wrestling matches vs the residents in my dad's assisted living place.

Some of these are older, but
Cibo - He's from NY, but the imported Italian and proscuito bagel are good
Luca Eats - not new, but I've never been.
Lunch - By The Boot. Pics look interesting, but $$$
Paulie's - Someone I trust from Bucks Co said it was worth it.
Primo's - Franchise from back home.
