The beauty of a summer BBQ at a block party, like most worthy things in life, is how all of the ingredients work together.

To make it worth the sunburn, you’ve got to have potato salad, mac and cheese, some baked beans, cornbread, a refreshing fruit salad and some melt-in-your-mouth, fresh-off-the-grill burgers… and the list goes on. Add in a water-spouting fire hydrant on the corner and you’ve got yourself a perfect Philly afternoon.

Hungry yet? Us too. Let’s chow down on a buffet of the best Philly and Delaware tech jobs we could find.
