Chris Illuminati at phillyBurbs.com wrote to let us know the Philadelphia Business Journal is reporting today that "Organic burger chain Elevation Burger plans to open eight restaurants in the Philadelphia market." We at Phillyist are completely pro-organic, free-range foodstuffs, but we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you all that the food will still be high-fat and fried. Eating organic may be better for you overall, and it's certainly better for the environment, but five Elevation burgers a week won't be any less likely to result in a quadruple bypass than five Five Guys burgers would be. That being said, we're excited about the prospect of another place to get our beef on.

We agree.

Foobooz reminds us that in honor of its opening, the new University City Chipotle is giving away free burritos—any burritos, even with the good stuff on top—all day today. And on top of that, Dunkin Donuts' Philadelphia locations are celebrating the Eagles' spot in the NFC Championship by giving away free 10 oz. coffees. So head out to University City today for lunch and save some green for dinner tonight. (If you can stand waiting in long lines in the cold, that is.)

A few months ago, we asked readers to tell us where we can eat cheaply and quickly in Old City. We got some great feedback (this Phillyist eats at Gianfranco Pizza Rustica at least once a week, much to the chagrin of her personal trainer), and now we'd like to add another spot to the list: Independence Al Fresco, next to the Independence Visitor Center.

How about cooling down today with a free Slurpee from 7-Eleven? The convenience store giant turns 81 this year, and in honor of that, and the fact that today happens to be 7/11, anyone who wants one can pick up a 7.11 ounce Slurpee at participating stores until 11PM this evening. (They started, naturally, at 7 this morning.)

Wawa may be abandoning Center City, but for those of you not affected by the desertion, there's good news—especially if you're a young professional addicted to your Crackberry, or a teenager who can't put your Sidekick down during Calculus class:

When it comes to dieting, I really kind of suck. Unless it's imposed by my circumstances (the Unemployment Diet) or my religion (the "real" God Diet), I'm likely to fall off the wagon within a week. Maybe two.

Starbucks may be closed for three hours this evening, but have no fear! Dunkin' Donuts to the rescue!

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Apparently it's National Fast Food Day! Is that a bell we hear? Perhaps a... taco bell? (Via Sarah) Rumor is that Tom Cruise will play Hugh Hefner in the upcoming biopic. It's kind of a creepy idea, but it sort of works, too. The secret, true name of Cloverfield is supposedly... Cloverfield. Also, there's a new trailer online, but it's a poor quality...

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. A handy list for frequenters of fast food restaurants like ourselves: The 88 Fast Food Items Most Likely To Kill You. We're pleased to say that most of these are from places we don't ever go to. But we're depressed to see McDonalds' fries and Burger King's chicken fries included. We love those! (Via Sarah) And speaking of unhealthy foods, how about some...

With unseasonable weather descending upon much of North America, schools getting ready to reconvene, and sports seasons getting exciting, it's a busy time of year for us here in the Ist-A-Verse. Luckily, even with all the things we have to do, we still managed to get together to let you know what we've all been up to.

getting was from my endless supply of dairy products: mostly Wawa milk and string cheese from Trader Joe's. But my body needed real, hearty protein. And iron. (I've been dragging and figured that not having enough iron could be a contributing factor. Never mind that I've been averaging four and a half hours of sleep per night, because that's clearly not the problem, right?) I needed red meat, and soon.

With two big-deal festivals—POPPED! and the Philadelphia Film Festival—in Philly right now, Phillyist staffers have been running around like so many proverbial headless chickens: madly moving from place-to-place so fast they seem out of control. Also, headless chickens, from what we hear, have a little bit of trouble eating. (Of course, for them, it's physiological: for us, it's a matter of scheduling.)
