hi ladies and gents,

I'm really bummed that I can't make next friday's eatup. Brian planned an awesome event for September.

I wanted to get the ball rolling for October and suggest Franklin Fountain. Yes, I know summer is pretty much over, but I still wanted to see if everyone is up for an ice cream challenge. I thought that we could order their Mt Vesuvius Sundae (maybe multiples depending on who can come) and challenge ourselves to finish all of them. For those of you who aren't aware of the massive sweet treat, take a peek here http://www.thefeast.com/philadelphia/restaurants/Feast-On-Franklin-Fountains-Mt-Vesuvius-Sundae-124099579.html

If you think it sounds like a plan, let me know and I'll create a guide and facebook event page.

thanks,
alexis

I'm definitely up for the challenge - so long as we're sharing. That sundae is so massive!

That's a huge sundae! I enjoy eating my ice cream really fast but too much dairy and chocolate isn't a good mix for me. I will be passing on this event. Good luck guys!

FYI we will be sharing these sundaes-so don't fear! Unless there is someone out that that wants to take one on alone :)

I'm out of town on business that week... probably for the best. I
doubt gallons of ice cream are in my marathon nutrition plan.

Count me in! I am long overdue in tackling the Mt Vesuvius Sundae. I may have to eat one solo!

Just a note – the timing is not great since you went on the Hot Dog Crawl LAST week, but we (Visit Philly) have “soft launched” a Hot Dog guide:

http://www.foodspotting.com/guides/3103-hot-dog-days-of-philadelphia

 

I made sure they places you went to were added as well.

 

Hope to hook up on a crawl with ya’ll soon!
