If you had a magic wand and could keep one Philly restaurant open for at least 50 more years, which would you pick? With the news of a handful of beloved institutions closing, we talked about the ones that we'd be lost without.

Hoagie Throwdown is less than 2 weeks away - get your tickets and chow down with us on Sunday 9/27! Eli, Marisa and Dave play a rapid-fire game to determine which hoagie is our ultimate favorite, plus match-ups of toppings and sides. When you can only pick one, these choices are freakin' hard! Just when we thought we knew everything about each other's tastes… (looking at Dave, who puts mayo on Italian hoagies…!)

Plus: Whatcha Been Eatin' has us longing for more shore days, and the Sauce is packed with the latest restaurant and food news you need to know.
