It's FYI's 2019 Best of Philly Show!

This week on FYI Philly, we are teaming up with Philadelphia Magazine for the annual Best of Philly Show! Be sure the watch Saturday at 7 and Sunday at midnight!

Every year, Philadelphia Magazine rounds up the best that the city has to offer... everything from the best burger and cheesesteak (*hint, it's a salmon cheesesteak, this year) to the best spot for drag queen events or natural hair care products. There are 341 winners this year, with Gritty on the cover as the Best Philadelphian.

For Philadelphia Magazine, picking the best of the best that the city has to offer is a year-long process.
