While you may have experienced a food fight or two back in the day, Philadelphia FOOD FIGHT is the more "grown-up" way to fight with food. Instead of slinging a chicken pattie at your BFF, taste food from different Philly neighborhoods and decide which your favorite is. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit various Fairmount Community Development Corporation projects and events.
