Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks, we've got limited-release beer gifts, Thanksgiving waffles, and Bukharian resto reviews.
We're not sure we want to think too hard about holiday gift-giving just yet ourselves, but you pulled-together types probably already have. Regardless of your style, Iron Hill's wrapping up some nice gifts for the beer fans in your life. These are reserve bottles of their schmanciest brews, some with their attendant etched glassware, ready to give in festive totes—thoughtful gifts for anyone who likes beer, but convenient enough for last-minute hostess gifts.
There are four gift packs available, all featuring 750ml bottles: one bottle of Señor Chocolatoro stout with a pair of etched glasses for $40; one bottle of Winter Wheat Wine Ale with two logo-etched, oversized wine glasses for $35; a bottle each of mahogany Abbey Dubbel, golden Belgian Tripel, and dark Belgian Quadrupel for $50; and one bottle apiece of The Cannibal golden ale, Russian Imperial Stout, Saison, and Scotch-style Wee Heavy for $65. You can buy the gift packs at any Iron Hill location.
We've been sharing lots of foods around town that can help to stoke your appetite for Thanksgiving, but there's always room for more—and Michael Klein over at The Insider found a great addition: a Thanksgiving waffle at Chhaya (1823 E. Passyunk Ave.). It's got turkey, cranberry sauce, and gravy—but what really caught our breath in our throat is, that waffle is actually made out of stuffing. We think we know how we'll be reheating our leftovers now, thanks! (Mercifully, sounds like they're keeping it on the brunch menu for a couple of weeks post-Thanksgiving.)
For a break from the turkey-and-mash fervor, check out Midtown Lunch's visit to Bustleton's Shish-Kabob Palace (1683 Grant Ave.). They liked the Uzbek/Russian spot's cold salads (including a meaty Russian-style potato salad), soups, and a deeply green rice dish with veal and cilantro. Kabobs acquitted themselves nicely as well, while the manti's lamb filling was "a little too gamey." We don't make it up that way often, but this review gives us plenty of reason to rethink that.
