Federal Donuts always offers a wide selection of interesting and delicious donuts.  We had heard that they were staying open for students suffering through finals and stopped by the University City location to discover to our dismay that they were already closed and the online posting we had read was incorrect.

Heart-broken, we lucked out as the employee closing up the shop opened the door and surprised us with various donuts.  Cheers to Federal Donuts and their generosity.

With a few friends in town, it was a good opportunity to check out Kevin Sbraga's (of Top Chef fame) second Philadelphia location: The Fat Ham.

The venue has a more casual vibe and feel than his flagship name sake restaurant.  The menu is very pork focused and takes significant inspiration from southern cooking and cuisine.
