When the Eagles are in the Super Bowl, we suddenly want to ingest green things that should never be green. What would otherwise look unappetizing and downright unsettling deserves its moment of emerald hue. Like green hot dogs.
Just like the rest of us, Philly restaurants and bakeries are all in on the Eagles. So if you’re looking for a way to cater your Super Bowl watch party or just celebrate with some green-dyed treats, consider these specials.
