Afternoon Snacks
A few good reasons to visit Reading Terminal tonight, Iron Chef Garces visits the Free Library, and poking fun at Yelp, all on today's Afternoon Snacks.
Afternoon Snacks
This evening at the Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch Sts.), La Cucina is hosting a cooking demo and book signing with appearances from Kevin Sbraga and April White, author of The Philadelphia Chef’s Table. The event runs from 5:30 to 7 p.m.; while you’re at the Market, you might as well take a stab at guessing the weight of their giant pumpkin (above). You have to enter in person, and the closest guess will garner a $100 gift card to the Market. (They’re taking guesses until Sat., Oct. 20.)
In case you hadn’t heard, Jose Garces has a new cookbook out this month. The Latin Road Home has brought lots of fancy meals along in its wake, but now the Free Library is giving you the chance to hear Garces himself talk about the new book for free. This author event doesn’t require you to register beforehand, but it is first-come, first-served when it comes to seating, so you might want to get there a bit early for what’s sure to be a popular event. Chef Garces will take the stage at the Central Library (1901 Vine St.) on Mon., Oct 15 at 7:30 p.m.
One of our favorite blogs, The Gurgling Cod, has been posting these cringe-inducing One-Star Yelp Reviews of Michelin-Starred Restaurants, and we can’t get enough of them: here are Alinea, Per Se, Eleven Madison. NYT critic Pete Wells has floated the idea out there for someone to start a tumblr of same—but somehow it doesn’t yet seem to have materialized. Perhaps sandwich artist/Meal Ticket contributor/notorious Yelp foe Scott Schroeder could get on this? We seem to recall some rumblings about his colleague Mark Regan’s dream to become a food blogger…
