(Want to submit your own questions? Email questions about food — any question — along with the answer, to Leigh Goldenberg, Chair, Programs and Events Committee, South Philly Food Co-op. Ideally, your question will fit into one of three categories: Philly Focused, At Home Cooking, or Nutrition and History. If you are so inclined, provide 2-3 alternative (but incorrect) answers, that would help our quiz master. We'll read your name and affiliation along with the question at Quizzo.)
There will, of course, be prizes for the winning teams. But as if that's not exciting enough, all Co-op members will get their 15% Shop South Philly discount on food and drinks purchased at the Wishing Well that night. And anyone who joins The Co-op that evening will get the discount, too.
See you there!
