Philly doesn’t play when it comes to food. Cheesesteaks dripping with cheese whiz, soft pretzels hot from the cart, roast pork sandwiches piled high… this city serves up legendary eats on every corner. But you know what makes them even better? The right cannabis strain to match the vibe.
We’re talking flavor pairings that hit on every level. Terpenes that complement your bites, highs that enhance every chew, and smokes that make each iconic dish taste like a five-star experience.
The best part is these strains are waiting for you at Brotherly Bud. Let’s dig in.
Philly Cheesesteak + Gorilla Butter
Greasy, cheesy, and absolutely legendary, the cheesesteak demands a strain that can match its intensity.
Gorilla Butter steps up to the plate with:
- A smooth, creamy flavor
- A hard-hitting, full-body buzz
- A little gas, a little nuttiness, and a whole lot of relaxation
This strain lets you sink into that meaty, cheesy goodness without a care in the world. Gorilla Butter melts into the moment just like that whiz-covered steak on a fresh roll.
Soft Pretzels + Blue Dream
Salty, chewy, and best enjoyed fresh from a street cart, soft pretzels are a Philly staple. Simple, satisfying, and made for any time of day.
Blue Dream is the strain you need, bringing:
- A smooth, uplifting buzz
- A little sweet, a little hazy
- Just the right balance of chill and focus
It keeps you light on your feet while you fully appreciate that golden, doughy perfection, helping you twist through your day like a true Philly pro.
Roast Pork Sandwich + Sour Diesel
With juicy pork, garlicky greens, sharp provolone, this sandwich isn’t for the weak. It’s bold, messy, and packed with flavor, so you need a strain that keeps up.
Sour Diesel is the move. It offers:
- A bright, citrusy, fuel-forward aroma cuts through the richness
- Energetic, dialed-in buzz that keeps your palate sharp.
- No post-sandwich food coma—just focus and flavor
One hit and you’re savoring every bite like it’s the last meal of a true Philly king. That smooth, focused buzz keeps you coming back for the next bite, enjoying each more than the last.
Water Wooder Ice + Strawberry Cannoli
Is it wooder ice? Yes. Is it the perfect summer treat? Also yes. Light, refreshing, and bursting with flavor, it deserves a strain that keeps the vibes just as cool.
Strawberry Canoli delivers:
- Sweet, creamy berry flavors
- A smooth, uplifting buzz
- Crisp, energizing effects with just the right amount of indulgent
Strawberry Canoli is the ultimate way to stay lit while you beat the heat, making every spoonful taste even better.
Scrapple + Durban Z
You either love scrapple, or you don’t belong in Philly. This crispy, porky breakfast staple is bold, rich, and full of flavor.
Durban Z enhances each bite with:
- A zesty, energetic buzz
- A high that keeps your mind sharp and your taste buds firing.
With its spicy, earthy notes and a kick of citrus, this strain enhances every crunchy, savory bite, making sure you savor the experience like a true Philly local.
Italian Hoagie + Guava Cream Cake
A proper hoagie is a work of art, layered with fresh meats, crisp lettuce, sharp provolone, and just the right amount of oil and vinegar to tie it all together. Doesn’t matter if it’s from your local shop or Wawa, you need a strain that can hold its own against all that flavor.
Guava Cream Cake is that strain. It brings:
- Rich, tropical sweetness and creamy undertones
- A smooth compliment to the hoagie’s salty, savory punch
- A little extra indulgence to the experience.
This high is relaxing without being couch-locking, so you can keep vibing until the last, delectable bite.
Tomato Pie + Super Lemon Haze
Tomato pie is a Philly classic that doesn’t need a lot to make it great. Just a thick, chewy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and a dusting of parm to seal the deal.
Super Lemon Haze brings:
- Bright citrus and sweet, zesty terps that amplify the pie’s rich, savory flavors.
- A vibrant high, bringing an energetic and uplifting vibe that keeps the conversation (and the slices) flowing.
If you’re grabbing a square for lunch or crushing a whole box at 2 a.m., this pairing is a certified win.
