Here’s what the The Connoisseur dished up today:
Chips wit or witout? Herr’s announced the three finalists for the Philly-inspired flavors that were submitted by fans. 215 Special Sauce, Long Hots and Sharp Provolone, and Wit Wiz are are available now. Our Associate Producer Connor tried each flavor earlier this week. His favorite: Long Hots. Do your own taste test and tag #TheConnoisseur
Attention Star Wars Fans. Disney announced that their new cruise line ships have a Star Wars themed bar and a drink that cost $5,000. It’s called the Kaiburr Crystal and it comes with multiple drinks within the capsule including shots of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Year bourbon, Star Wars backpack, water bottle, oh, and a voucher to visit the ultra exclusive Skywalker Ranch.

One lipstick burrito, please! An Australian TikToker named Rosie Zeppelin gets paid nearly $1,000 a video for eating while wearing bright red lipstick. Sounds innocent right? Of course there’s a weird side too: Rose’s fans encourage her to smear the lipstick not just on her face, but all over the food too. And keep eating the lipstick covered food. We passed on this follow, here’s a link if it’s in your wheelhouse.
New food & music series on the riverfront. Liberty Point is hosting a summer food and concert series every Tuesday this summer. Each week will feature a different band and chef cooking off menu items you won’t be able to try anywhere else. The food side of the Philly Grown Food & Music Series is planned by Delicious City Philly (aka, our Producer Marisa’s podcast) and the list of chefs is solid. Check out the lineup.
New mocktail trend. A new alcohol-free cocktail is trending called Kava. It is made with tea and will give you a buzz and no hangover. Sounds great right? However, Dr. Mike advises to stay clear of Kava because it can cause liver toxicity. He says it is okay to only drink it once in a while. Remember don’t drink and drive and stay clear of Lincoln Drive!
