Philly Gets Soccer - And We Want Some Hooligan Food
Major League Soccer is coming to Phladelphia. At a press conference yesterday, MLS confirmed that a franchise would be awarded to Philadelphia — and word on the street is that they will be playing in an 18,500-seat park in Chester.
That's right... You won't be forced to root for Red Bull New York or DC United anymore.
So in honor of the good news, how about a shortlist of UK-style soccer hooligan food in Philly?
• University City's New Deck Tavern serves some right-on fries in curry sauce. They might just be PHI's best take on curry chips around.
• The Dark Horse Pub in Society Hill offers a traditional breakfast fry-up: $11.25 gets you eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, fried tomato, fried mushrooms, black pudding and white pudding.
• Irish pub The Bards offers up chicken curries and bangers and mash.
• Sitar India serves England's true national dish: Balti.
