'GMA' brings United State of Breakfast to Philadelphia with guest judge Alicia Vitarelli
Former Eagles player Jon Runyan and James Beard award-winning chef Michael Solomonov were also judges.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- On Thursday morning, "Good Morning America" came to Philadelphia for its fourth and final stop on its "United States of Breakfast" tour.
I had the honor of being a guest judge for this delicious competition.
"GMA's" Will Reeve joined us Wednesday in studio during Action News at 5 p.m. to give us a sneak peek of what we can expect.
He says in each city, they host two local restaurants to compete head-to-head with a signature breakfast offering. On Thursday, it was all about breakfast sandwiches.
Our competitors were:
Middle Child, with a location in Center City and now Middle Child Fishtown. They are known for their unique breakfast offerings.
And Darnell's Cakes in Spring Garden -- a bakery known for more than just pastries.
They had to make one of their signature sandwiches on a homemade buttermilk biscuit.
Two other guest judges joined me: former Eagles player Jon Runyan and James Beard award-winning chef Michael Solomonov.
The winner in each city advances to our finale in New York on Friday, where they'll compete for $10,000 and the title of "GMA's Ultimate Breakfast Spot."
