Afternoon Snacks

POSTED: Tuesday, July 31, 2012, 3:00 PM

On your mark, get set, go! Tomorrow Michael Solomonov's Kitchen Counter starts booking. Catch up with Vendy winners and pig out at Southwark all on today's Afternoon Snacks.

Chef Michael Solomonov is introducing a new way to eat his modern Israeli fare at Zahav(237 St. James Place) – at the The Kitchen Counter. There will be 8 occasions for you to sample 10-course tasting menu throughout the month of September on Fridays and Saturdays. Here's the catch: there are only 4 seats each night. Sorry third wheels, only parties of 2 or 4 will be able to get these highly coveted seats. So what do you need to do? Email counter@zahavrestaurant.com tomorrow, August 1st starting at noon sharp and be sure to include your phone number, date requested and party size. This feast will set you back $90, or $140 with beverage pairing and seats are sure to go fast.

Missed out on the Vendy's? No worries, all Vendy winners will be at the Fairmount Park Conservancy (Eakin's Oval, off of the Benjamin Franklin Pkwy) to bring you the first ever Vendy Awards Winners' Oval. On Thursday from 6 until 9 p.m., you can picnic in the park with the best street food we've got here in Philly. This year's recent winners were The Smoke Truck (BBQ), Lil' Pop Shop (gourmet popsicles) and Vernalicious (comfort food). Winners from the Vendy's debut last year will also be in attendance: Gigi and Big R (Caribbean/American soul food), Sweet Box (cupcakes) and Cucina Zapata (Mexican-Thai fusion).

Yes, we know we've just come come off of Mémé's (farewell) pork dinner, but our motto is that you can never have too much pork. Southwark (701 S. 4th St.) is hosting their Country Time Pork Dinner on Wednesday, August 15th at 7 p.m. With humanely-raised, hormone-free hogs from PA's own Countrytime Farm, the chef will be serving 4 courses of piggy goodness for $45, or $55 with wine or beer pairing. To reserve, call 215-238-1888.
