5 Reasons You Can’t Miss EATS Philly on May 5

If you crave food truck feasting, fierce chef competitions and wine and brews for sipping, you won’t want to miss EATS Philly, taking place May 5 from 6–9 p.m. at World Cafe Live. We’ve rounded up five spectacular reasons you should grab your tickets ASAP:

Food Trucks as Far as the Eye Can See

The weather’s getting warmer and the food trucks are going to be busy. Luckily for you, when you attend EATS Philly, you’ll have the opportunity to sample tantalizing food offerings from some of the best food trucks and vendors in the area, including Farm Truck, Zsa’s, Sweet Box, Frecon Farms Cidery, Penns Woods Winery and more. Your favorite breweries will also be setting up on the street to help quench your thirst for excellent craft beer.

Proceeds Benefit The Food Trust and a Thai Orphanage

In addition to being the perfect place to sample a wide array of culinary and beverage offerings, you’ll also have the opportunity to see proceeds benefit two excellent causes, The Food Trust and Wat Bodd Voraditth Orphanage in Thailand. The money raised from EATS 2015 will help to fund these wonderful organizations and promote healthy eating for children in need.

Experience a Chef Competition at Its Finest

What’s a food-oriented event without a little friendly chef competition to go along with it? Ten area chefs will go head-to-head to see who comes out the victor during the EATS competition, which will take place inside World Cafe Live. All ticket holders are invited to attend; VIP ticket holders will have the opportunity to sample what the chefs are cooking up in the competition. Chefs competing on May 5 include:

Catch Brian Duffy of Bar Rescue in Action

By this point, you’re probably already online grabbing your tickets for EATS 2015. But, if you need a few more reasons to attend, another one is that Philadelphia’s own Brian Duffy of Spike TV’s Bar Rescue will be the host for the evening. Be prepared for some entertaining commentary throughout the event and don’t miss the opportunity to catch Brian Duffy at World Cafe Live.

Party Atmosphere Perfect for Cinco de Mayo

What better way to spend your Cinco de Mayo than by celebrating with food, fun and festivities in Philadelphia? There is sure to be a party atmosphere at this year’s event, and spending the evening outdoors feasting on fabulous food truck and beverage offerings and then bringing the party indoors for the chef competition is a wonderful way to embrace the day.
