A.I. can be used for good causes… I used Fable to one shot an open source Hooked On Phonics app to help teach kids how to read. My hope is that it’ll get forked or copied and someone or group build this out.

🚨 PHILLY. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TASTE? 🚨
It’s official — the Philly Chef Showdown is coming to 2300 Arena on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
Chefs, food trucks, caterers, and small restaurant owners are lining up for a shot at the city’s biggest culinary title — and a $10,000 grand prize. But here’s what makes this different: the neighborhoods pick the finalists. Three exclusive qualifying tastings across North Philly, Old City, and West Philly this September will decide who takes the main stage.
Then it’s game on. Celebrity judges. Live audience voting. All Philly, all day.
📍 2300 Arena · South Philadelphia
📅 Sat, Oct 24, 2026 · 12–6 PM
🏆 $10,000 grand prize + business coaching through MYB
