Nothing says Happy Father’s Day like grilled beef. If you’re not grilling at home and testing out some fancy new barbecue gear that you bought for the Old Man, consider taking him out. Carolyn Wyman, who literally wrote the book on cheesesteaks - she’s the author of The Great Philly Cheesesteak Book - is teaming up with Taste of Philly Food Tours for a cheesesteak tour of Reading Terminal Market. The tour, which starts at 10 a.m. on Sunday and costs $15.95, will cover the market’s vendors who serve Philadelphia’s signature sandwich, and the history behind it with a multitude of greasy, cheesy facts and anecdotes. Visit the Taste of Philly Food Tours website for reservations.
