A Collision of Coastal Mexican and Levantine Flavors: Suraya to Host Exclusive Collaboration Dinner with Austin's Chef Ale Kuri

Chef Kuri, the creative force behind Austin's Michelin-recognized seafood standout Este and the forthcoming Middle Eastern concept Karaz, brings a deeply personal culinary perspective. As a third-generation Lebanese-Mexican who grew up immersed in Mexico City's bustling markets and her family's catering business, her cooking is a vibrant celebration of both her cultural heritage and professional expertise.

The collaboration with Suraya—which draws its soul from the multigenerational family recipes of Defined Hospitality partner Roland Kassis, whose roots trace back to Lebanon's Zahlé region—presents a natural yet wildly inventive culinary pairing.

The Menu: A Cross-Cultural Feast

Ahead of opening Karaz in Austin, Chef Kuri is teaming up with Suraya's culinary team to curate a special three-course menu that weaves together Este's coastal Mexican flair, Karaz's Middle Eastern influences, and Suraya's mastery of Levantine traditions.

Course 1: Seafood Platter & Dips. The evening kicks off with an expansive sharing platter. Diners will enjoy braised clams, raw oysters, a Samake Nayeh tostada, and crab-stuffed grape leaves. Classic Levantine spreads will get a unique, cross-cultural twist, featuring hummus topped with tender barbacoa lamb, labneh paired with tomato confit, and a refreshing fattouch salad—all served with freshly baked pita.

Course 2: Entrées & Sides. For the main course, guests will enjoy a vibrant array of wood-fired and coastal dishes, including a stunning grape leaf-wrapped branzino, succulent ribeye kebabs, savory oyster mushrooms, and perfectly grilled cabbage.

Course 3: Dessert. The meal concludes with an indulgent dessert course that perfectly captures the evening's fusion theme. The sweet lineup includes flan accented with crunchy kataifi, pecan ma'amoul, nut baklava, playful pistachio-stuffed baby churros, or a light, refreshing sorbet.

Event Details

This exclusive, one-night-only dinner takes place in Fishtown on Sunday, September 22. Tickets are available for $125 per person. Reservations are highly recommended and can be booked directly through Suraya's website.

From the neglected grounds of Philadelphia's Fort Mifflin to the frontier landscapes of Western Pennsylvania, these sessions offer the public a unique opportunity to explore how archaeology—through Native American stone tools, 18th-century ceramics, and historic maps—uncovers the daily lives and defining events of early America.

2026 Presentation Schedule

Each free virtual program takes place on Fridays at 12:15 PM. Sessions last approximately 20 minutes and are followed by a live question-and-answer segment.

• Friday, October 2 | Fort Mifflin (Philadelphia) Community Engaged Archaeology at Fort Mifflin: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Philadelphia's Past. Dr. Kimberly Max Brown explores recent archaeological investigations at Fort Mifflin—often considered one of the nation's most neglected historic sites. Working alongside a team of Veterans, the project uncovered the food systems and preservation needs of this critical Revolutionary War fort. Register for the Oct. 2 event here
• Friday, October 9 | Fort Wallace (Westmoreland County) Locating Fort Wallace: Public Memory, Avocational Knowledge, and Archaeological Research. Emily Briggs discusses an emerging project to map and understand the Fort Wallace landscape, a Revolutionary-era frontier site. She highlights how archaeologists responsibly integrate local memory, oral history, and collector knowledge into public history. Register for the Oct. 9 event here
• Friday, October 16 | Independence National Historical Park (Philadelphia) In the Shadow of Independence: The Archaeology of Old Philadelphia. Debbie Miller, Archaeologist and Curator at INHP, highlights how decades of excavation beneath the streets of Old City have uncovered the stories of the diverse communities, everyday citizens, and founding figures that shaped 18th-century Philadelphia. Register for the Oct. 16 event here
• Friday, October 23 | Historic Hanna's Town (Westmoreland County): The American Revolution in Western Pennsylvania: Archaeology at Historic Hanna's Town. Dr. Ben Ford explores life before, during, and after the Revolution in Western PA. Drawing on decades of volunteer and professional excavations, this talk reveals how artifacts illustrate the town's connections to international economies and its resilience after being burned in 1782. Register for the Oct. 23 event here
• Friday, October 30 | Paoli Battlefield (Chester County) The Archaeology and Memory of Paoli Battlefield. Dr. Matthew A. Kalos applies a unique "layered landscape" approach to the Paoli Battlefield. As a case study in conflict archaeology, this session examines not just the battle itself, but the cultural history and mnemonic legacy left on the landscape. Register for the Oct. 30 event here

Matt Gundrum, Director of Brewery Operations, is driving this renewed direction.

Operating in Philadelphia since 1938, the four-generation, family-owned eatery is renowned for its hand-carved meats. Owner Megan Rose said the pop-up offers an "unmatched platform" to share their 90-year tradition with locals and global visitors in the bustling Stadium District.

The Menu and Hours

Fans can expect Nick's signature slow-roasted, in-house meats served on fresh Liscio's rolls. The pop-up will operate through the fall, remaining open each day until midnight or until the food sells out.

• The Meats: USDA Prime roast beef, roast turkey, roast pork, and baked ham.
• The Sides: Broccoli rabe sandwiches and sides, alongside classic Italian long hot peppers.
• Hours of Operation:
  • Thursday & Friday: 5:00 PM – Midnight
  • Saturday: 12:00 PM (Noon) – Midnight
  • Sunday: 12:00 PM (Noon) – 9:00 PM

A Reimagined 10th Street Market

Nick's Roast Beef is the latest vendor to participate in Live! Philadelphia's rotating pop-up program, which launched this past summer with a highly successful residency by James Beard Award-winning chef Cristina Martínez's South Philly Barbacoa.

The pop-up initiative is part of a recent $1.2 million investment to enhance the casino's food and beverage offerings. The rotating space sits alongside expanded footprints for permanent 10th Street Market staples, including Lorenzo and Sons Pizza, Termini Bros. Bakery, and Geno's Steaks. According to Jake Joyce, Senior Vice President of Marketing, the market aims to serve as a platform for the local businesses that define Philadelphia's food scene.

A Meaningful Grand Opening

To kick off the residency, Live! Philadelphia and Old Original Nick's will host a community luncheon honoring Philadelphia firefighters, EMS personnel, and service members in recognition of the 25th anniversary of 9/11. As part of the grand opening, the casino will also donate to the Philadelphia Fire Department Foundation.

Are you planning to grab a roast beef sandwich before a game this fall, or would you like to know more about the other dining options inside Live! Casino?

Over the past 18 years, more than 110,000 people have celebrated the season with Brauhaus Schmitz. Owner Doug Hager notes that the momentum heading into 2026 is stronger than ever.

The festivities kick off outdoors on Saturday, September 26, with an all-day, family- and dog-friendly street festival along the 700 block of South Street. Two weeks later, the party heads indoors on Friday, October 9, and Saturday, October 10, transforming West Center City’s historic 23rd Street Armory into an authentic Munich-style festival tent for three high-energy, 21-and-over sessions.

Between South Street's massive 1,000-seat open-air biergarten and the Armory's 16,000-square-foot fortress of Bavarian blue and white, Philadelphia solidifies its reputation as one of the country's best destinations for genuine Oktoberfest spirit.

We’d say the mood around the camp and fan bases could be described as cautiously optimistic. In recent seasons, the Eagles have done better when flying under the radar. That was the case in both 2017 and 2024, and we all know what ended up happening at the climax of those seasons. 

But what's in store for the weeks and months ahead? Let's break it all down with a brief guide, including important games, odds, and more:

Recap of Last Season

Expectations were clearly high going into last season as defending Super Bowl champions, but it was also quickly recognized that there were issues to address, particularly rebuilding key elements of the defense. Yet, the Eagles looked good for most of the season, especially with an 8-2 start. A mini-slump in the early winter saw three losses in a row, and the Eagles ultimately ended up with an 11-6 record and a Wild Card spot in the postseason. That was the end of the road after a tight loss to the 49ers. There was a sense that fine margins were the difference; something for the Eagles to tweak rather than overhaul. 

2026 Schedule Notes 

The Eagles open and close the season with winnable games against the Commanders and Giants, respectively, but things get interesting in between. For a start, there is a trip to London for a game against the Jaguars on October 11.  Perhaps more consequential is the fact that five of the Eagles' six divisional ties take place before December, so that could go a long way to deciding the direction of travel in the NFC East. Moreover, the regular season reaches its climax with a tough-looking run against the Seahawks, Texans and 49ers before wrapping up against the Giants. Sirianni will want to be in a commanding position before that stretch. 

Key Games 

Look out for the Rams’ visit to Lincoln Financial Field on October 4. It’s going to be a huge bellwether test for the season, as the Rams represent many pundits' pick for the Super Bowl this season. There’s the trip to London a week later, and note that the Eagles won’t have a bye week to recover from the trip. As mentioned above, the three-game stretch against the Seahawks, Texans, and 49ers looks like it will be pivotal for the narrative of the season. 

The Eagles’ Season Odds 

Right now, DraftKings NFL sportsbook has placed Philadelphia (+1600) as the 5th favorite to win Super Bowl LXI, putting them firmly in the contender category. However, there’s a gaggle of teams put in the same bracket, so there might be a wait-and-see approach from odds-setters. The Eagles are clear favorites to win the NFC East, with the Cowboys viewed as the main threat. To be frank, it is one of the weaker divisions in the NFL, so anything less than top spot will be viewed as a disappointment. Making the Playoffs is expected; what’s more questionable is what the Eagles do once they get there. 

Key Players 

There is a sense that this is a crucial season for quarterback Jalen Hurts. He was fine last term, though, as we said, the fine margins and little bits of bad luck here and there were the difference. Saquon Barkley went from No.1 on the NFL’s Top 100 Players list of 2025 to No.34 in the 2026 rankings, but he is still very much in the elite tier, and he will be itching to prove once again he is the league’s best running back. Cooper DeJean, Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith and Zack Baun will also be crucial to the Eagles’ success.
