Philly Chili Bowl 2014: The Ukie Club

As usual, we at BigBite Philly like to have events in spaces that are characteristic of the vibrant, fun loving, culture seeking Philadelphia foodies that our events attract. This in mind, Philly Chili Bowl 2014 will be held at the Ukranian American Citizen’s Organization aka the Ukie Club, aka the place that incubated Diplo’s and Philly Chili Bowl DJ Low Budget’s (!!) Hollertronix party and catapulted them to superstardom, aka where M.I.A. performed numerous times aka where turntable titans Emynd and Bo Bliz rocked the house with Peedie Crakk aka an extremely friendly, warm space to eat dance and fellowship with awesome people!!

The Ukie has a lot of history and is sure to spark nostalgia for veterans of the Philly party scene. It is also centrally located at 847 N. Franklin Street with plenty of street and lot parking. It really is a cozy, homegrown establishment that gives us a little more space to eat and move our feet!!! We can’t wait to see you there March 23rd!!!

Holy smokes! It’s official – we have our 1st ever BigBite soundtrack!!

Our good friend Emynd from one of our favorite sponsors – Crossfaded Bacon was kind enough to put together this amazing hour-long seemless mix of amazing songs all about food (or loosely related to food). We are SO DANG EXCITED ABOUT THIS MIX! IT’S OUR FIRST OFFICIAL MIXTAPE! Forty songs about food? And of course, the mix features our anthem “Still Hungry” by the Paxtons featuring BigBite friend, Sleep.

The kicker is that Emynd told us he’s hype to work on Volume 2 because he has 30-40 songs ready in the vault. So be on the lookout for Volume 2 coming sometime around the next Wing King V. But in the mean time, listen to this mix while you’re killing time at work, when you’re on your next road-trip, or when cooking dinner with your boo!

DJ 2 Tone Jones Is Back, and He’s Bringing Goodies!

This just in! DJ 2 Tone Jones is coming back from DC to spin at the 4th Annual Philly Chili Bowl! If you were at Wing King 2012 or just about anywhere in the DC area when 2 Tone was on the turntables, you know that we are all in for a treat…but this time more than you think!

Aside from his delectable musical selections, 2 Tone AKA Lester Wallace III is a Pastry Chef! That’s right, when he is not mining for rare vinyl and rocking parties up and down the east coast he is in the kitchen baking sweet potato pies. These are not just regular pies either. Phonte of rap group Little Brother, Producer 9th Wonder and J Dilla’s Mother Maureen Yancey are frequent customers that can cosign the sweet perfection of Pie King sweet potato pie and rum cake. Pies, cakes and cookies will be available for purchase at this year’s Philly Chili Bowl. Learn more and place orders here.

DJ 2-Tone Jones has spun with, and alongside, the likes of DJ Premier, Jazzy Jeff,  Mista Sinista (formerly of the X-ecutioners), Tony Touch,   9th Wonder, DJ Babu,  and even Dick Gregory just to name a few. If you like food and music this will be an epic night. Come hungry and bring your sweet tooth.
