Afternoon Snacks

POSTED: Friday, November 2, 2012, 4:01 PM

On today's Afternoon Snacks, we've got more Day of the Dead, our soup crush of the moment, making amends with pasta, and more plans from South Philly Food Co-op.

While Distrito’s got West Philly covered for Day of the Dead festivities tonight, El Rey (2013 Chestnut St.) has posted a compelling, offal-heavy menu to celebrate Día de los Muertos from now through Sun., Nov. 4. Sample menudo, huitlacoche tamales, starters featuring tongue, brain, or blood sausage, and tacos of tripe, grasshoppers, or heart—think of enjoying these would-be offcuts as just another way of honoring the dead.

Our current must-quell craving comes courtesy of the Hot Diggity (630 South St.), which is offering a new special this weekend: roasted cauliflower soup with cider reduction and chives. And my, but it’s pretty.

Via Pitchfork: the Walkmen really know how to say “We’re sorry (our show got cancelled, Philly).”

Some useful news from the South Philly Food Co-op, in the form of this detailed project timeline. For the tl;dr-prone: assuming they meet their membership goals, they’re aiming for an opening in mid/late 2014.
