Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks, we've got surprisingly funny Biz Expo videos, a minor disappointment, "veggieducken," and a seemingly infinite number of better veggie options for Thanksgiving.
Afternoon Snacks
Videos we weren't expecting to be funny, word from the Department of Unfortunate Cancellations and Mild Disappointments, one Thanksgiving veggie option we won't be considering for our table, and hundreds more that we definitely will: all on today's Afternoon Snacks!
We’re going to be honest with you: when we first heard the phrases “YouTube video” and “Philadelphia Business Journal Small Business Expo” together, we weren’t exactly like, holy shit let’s drop everything and watch that RIGHT NOW. As it turns out, though, we should’ve. Check out this one, featuring Little Baby’s Jeffrey Ziga, and then send up a quiet little cheer when you realize that this is actually a series.
Hey, remember that Brauhaus beer vs. wine dinner that had us so excited? Well, it’s been postponed. (Insert super bratty pouty face here.) No word on a date, but we hope you’re not holding your breath, because they’re saying it won’t be until spring.
While we’re not vegetarians and maybe therefore get no say, we can’t say we were blown away by this “veggieducken” idea from Slate. Stuffed squashes can be very cute, but this seems… less charming. And while we may not clamor for the Tofurkey ourselves, we have to say: are T-day “centerpiece” dishes like this that worthwhile? It just looks like someone took a bunch of typical holiday side dishes and spent an unnecessary amount of time smushing them together—and isn’t a bunch of side dishes what vegetarians usually get to eat (read: pick through, looking out for rogue bacon) on Thanksgiving already? We say, if you want to do right by your veggie guests, you can do better. (Sorry in advance for eating up the rest of your day like that, but there are so many lustworthy dishes in those links that we couldn't narrow it down.)
