Latkepalooza at the Gershman Y

Free this Sunday afternoon between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Harbor a secret (or not-so-secret) love of the fried potato? Then have we got the event for you.
This Sunday, December 13th, the 7th annual Latkepalooza will take place at the Gershman Y. More than ten chefs from restaurants all throughout the Philadelphia area will be in attendance, cooking up hundreds of potato pancakes. You’ll have the opportunity to taste all the latkes, sour cream and applesauce you can hold, while listening to live music and strolling several aisles of craft vendors.
If you buy them in advance, tickets are $10 for kids and $15 adults. Add an additional $3 to that if you purchase at the door. Click here to buy said tickets.
If you can’t make it out to Latkepalooza, but still need a fix of Hanukkah-time latkes, consider this recipe from Chef Alison Barshak (you can also get these very same latkes out at her restaurant, Alison two, during the eight nights of Hanukkah. That’s December 12 through 19). Complete instructions are after the jump.
