You Can Take It with You

Weekend Coolers from Rae

You’re enjoying a day at the shore when hunger strikes. When you enter the dimly lit tavern, shifty locals stare you up and down, unable to contain their disdain for the gentle Philadelphian. Could the cold blade of a shiv be far off?

Don’t let this happen to you: Stay safe in your beach house and sate your hunger with a prepacked cooler from Rae.

Chef Daniel Stern will whip up a personalized feast for your weekend retreat. Just drop off your cooler by Wednesday, and it will be ready for pickup as you head out of town.

Choose from the Barbeque (pulled pork, flank steak, tomato salad, apple pie), the Meat Lovers (tenderloin, chicken salad, cheesecake), or the Seafood (shrimp cocktail, crab salad, seafood stew). Want to piece together your own cooler? A menu of a la carte items, cheeses, dips, meats, and seafood will give you more than enough to work with.

So the only thing getting stabbed this weekend is your steak.

Available at Rae, 2929 Arch Street (215-922-3839 or raerestaurant.com).
