Philly Grub

Today, I attended a preview of the Capital One All-Star Village during a media-only tour at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. It kicks off on Saturday, July 11th, and runs through Tuesday, July 14th. I was treated to a peek at the exhibits, attractions, activities, and, most importantly, I sampled some of the food, which this article is about.
