Afternoon Snacks
BBQ openings, chips that make us shudder, a new direction for the Roxy, and some too-soon holiday considerations: all on today's Afternoon Snacks.
Afternoon Snacks
In major opening news, Michael Klein over at the Insider has word that both hotly-anticipated Fishtown BBQ joints are on the verge of opening their doors: Fette Sau (1208 Frankford Ave.) will get going this coming Wednesday, Oct. 17, but Bubba’s (19 W. Girard Ave.) will get the jump as they open tomorrow.
Speaking of things that taste good, here’s something that can’t possibly do that: thanks to Gawker for this awful news about limited edition holiday Pringles, including a white chocolate peppermint variety. White chocolate. Peppermint. Pringles.
Although we had heard bits and pieces about the fate of the Roxy theater recently, we admit we missed this item from the Philly Post. The takeaway, for us, is that the new owners are shooting for an eventual liquor license. We think a movie theater that serves alcohol would be more of a jewel in our city’s crown than a movie theater that does Rocky Horror—but hey, that’s just us.
And not to make you break out in hives or anything, but with Halloween fast approaching, that means that Thanksgiving is pretty much right around the corner. Too soon? Tell that to the folks at Belle Cakery (1437 E. Passyunk Ave.), who just put out their Thanksgiving menu. Sweet potato cornbread, sage sourdough, spiced molasses cookies, maple pecan tarts… And just like that, we cannot wait for Thanksgiving. (But you’ve still got a month to consider your order for your holiday meal, so really, no rush.)
Halloween actually is creeping up though, and Chestnut Hill's Night Kitchen (7725 Germantown Ave.) has plenty of treats to get you in the spirit. In addition to the adorable mocha chocolate ghost cupcakes pictured above, they've got pumpkin pound cake decorated with tiny fondant pumpkins, and cute shortbread cookies shaped like bats, pumpkins, and ghosts.
