Afternoon Snacks
All-you-can-eat dinners for a great cause, a preview of the newest Bourdain-Chang project, and a look at food styling on the set of Top Chef, all on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Next week will see a pair of charitable meals hosted by the Northwest Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network: it’s their 14th Annual Empty Bowl Dinner, and you’ve got two chances to join in. The first meal is on Mon., Nov. 12 at Arcadia University, and the next on Wed., Nov. 14 at Chestnut Hill College. You get to select your own unique bowl (crafted by local artists) and fill it from an AYCE buffet of soups, plus lots of breads and desserts—at the end of the night, you take the bowl home with you as a reminder of the 1,000 Philadelphia families who often go without, and who your donation will serve to help. All of the food comes courtesy of local restaurants and bakeries, including Ants Pants Café, Sang Kee, and Chestnut Hill Bredenbeck’s, amongst many others. Tickets are $20 ($8 for students and kids) and can be purchased here.
HuffPo has this preview clip of The Mind of a Chef—the Anthony Bourdain-David Chang collab premiering tonight—with Chang, the dudes from Joe Beef, and Aziz Ansari hoovering down specials from Wilensky’s in Montreal. Ansari’s reaction to another customer approaching him thinking he’s Sugar Sammy is sort of priceless. The show’s running on PBS; you can catch the first episode tonight at 9 on WHYY.
To coincide with the new season of Top Chef that started airing this week, Fast Company ran this piece about how the crew captures the food at its best. While it’s sometimes a little jarring to read food articles intended for audiences that aren’t as food-oriented as we’re used to (this line: “They’re so seductive, the staff of the show calls those shots food porn” actually had us re-reading the lede and looking for a date to re-verify that this wasn’t a really old piece), the breakdown of the work that goes into presenting the plates to the TV audience is really interesting.
