Thursday night was a good time. We went to the Eagles - Texans game and saw a good game. I was lent some fan vision devices to take with me. What a great idea. My main complaint of going to live football game is that you don't get the replays like you get at home, injury updates, challenge replays etc. The fan vision gave you all that including stats, live TV and local commentary. I listened to the game, watched it live and look at replays that weren't shown on the big screen. If you have the chance to use these devices it is worth a look.
Before the game we did go to the Good Dog Bar & Restaurant in Philadelphia (Good Dog Bar). With perfect timing and a whole lot of luck we got the last table. I did get the Good Dog Burger. It is described as "1/2 lb. of house ground sirloin, stuffed with roquefort cheese, topped with caramelized onions, served on a toasted brioche bun". It was delicious as usual.
Earlier in the week the family was watching an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network called Fresh, Filled and Fried. You guessed it the Good Dog was on it. The first part was the Duck Pot Pie which I will save for lunch in the near future, but they also talked about the truffled cheese steak empanadas described as stuffed with thinly sliced ribeye steak and truffled cheddar cheese, served with a flying fish seasonal sauce for dipping. I had to order it, and was not disappointed. The pastry was perfectly cooked, the insides tasted like cheesesteak and the dipping sauce perfect.
Also got to try 3 beers. All good but I like them in order Sly Fox Pikeland Pils (in a can), Southampton Double White, Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale. It has been a good couple of weeks trying new food and beer.
