Afternoon Snacks
Free thing alert: Looks like the Sugar truck (38th and Walnut Sts.) lost a bet or something, and the delicious result is that lemon bars (above) are yours for the asking all this week (while supplies last). You just need to utter the magic phrase, “Jo is wonderful.” We thought about asking chef Dan Tang more about the circumstances leading up to this, but decided it would be more fun if it remained cryptic.
MANNA’s Pie in the Sky holiday fundraiser is underway now through November 18. They’re selling classic pumpkin, apple, sweet potato, and pecan pies for $25 apiece, and a signature limited edition Sky Pie (cheesecake with walnuts, caramel, and chocolate) for $35 a pop. Order before the 18th and pick up your pie on Nov. 20 or 21 at your choice of one of about a bajillion pick-up locations around the city and suburbs. (If you prefer, you can opt to donate a pie to a MANNA client’s holiday meal instead.) Now if only there were some thematic idiom we could use to illustrate what this scheme is as “easy as.”
PSA for seafood hounds: Stone crab claw season at Del Frisco’s (1426 Chestnut St.) starts this Wednesday, October 17. No rush—stone crabs are in season through May—but as these particular claws have a bit of a cult following and can be tricky to source outside of Florida, we thought you might appreciate the heads-up.
Phoodie’s got news of some new additions to the menu at Sketch Burger (413 E. Girard Ave.): chicken burgers. OK, so normally the phrase “chicken burger” doesn’t really do it for us, but choices like the chaat-topped tandoori chicken or the banh mi with lemongrass and daikon pickle sound pretty intriguing.
