50 restaurants that started with Callahan's Grille, which has since shut down and ended on Domino's Pizza. Okay, that was not the most flattering synopsis on the big 50, but everything in between has been an awesomely fun journey. I know I sound like the blog is ending - it is not. It looks like there are at least 50 restaurants from 7th till front street on south. Not even kidding, things get dense from here on out people.
So, we used the 50th restaurant as a ploy to get some friends over to drink some beers, celebrate the blog getting old and eat some Domino's. We used Domino'ses (double possessive?) online ordering system, which turned out to be surprisingly fun because they have a ridiculously cheesy (haha, see what I did there) page where you can follow your pizza being made with different themes guiding you through the process. Themes ranging from talking parrots being harassed by flying beach balls, to a person out of a middle eastern esque rom com telling you he is making your pizza with the passion of his loins or something. It's ridiculous.
Sorry, back to the food - Domino's has a $5.99 each, for two or more medium 2 topping pizzas or cheesy bread - so we ordered 4 pizzas and two cheesy breads.
They were:
Pineapple and Bacon
Mushroom and Sausage
Spinach and Feta:
Bacon and Bacon
We also ordered the plain cheesy bread and the jalapeno cheesy bread
Clearly, it was awesome. I mean, it's bread and cheese and bacon with the occasional fruit and vegetable. On top of that we had some awesome company, a small portion of all the people who have come out and experienced this part of Philly with us. With the beer flowing and the cats snuggling, Sam and I really felt a sense of warmth and happiness from having such an awesome project to keep us sane through grad school. We felt particularly lucky to have such amazing people to share all this food with.
So thank you to everyone who saw us to 50 restaurants (aka you the readers). Thank you to good 'ol Sammy for being my partner in gluttony. And thank you to South street, for being a seemingly never-ending. source of food. Onward to the next 50! Excelsior!
