Afternoon Snacks
Today on Afternoon Snacks: an AYCE BBQ at Chifa, a real sausage party at Standard Tap, and more suggestions for the weekend ahead.
Afternoon Snacks
On the one-last-BBQ front, Asian-Latin mashup Chifa (707 Chestnut St.) has one in store for this weekend that should be great. The meal is $35 a pop (alcoholic beverages are pay-as-you-go) and, it being a BBQ and all, will be a laid-back, all-you-can-eat affair. The menu includes salads, sides, ceviche, humitas, and housemade pickles and kimchi, in addition to carving stations featuring Asian BBQ pork shoulder, black pepper soy-glazed beef ribs, and Korean BBQ chicken—plus all the steamed buns and tortillas you’ll need to gather all the deliciousness into one monster hand-held treat. (Just a suggestion! But no, seriously, do it.) The party goes down this Sunday, Sept. 23rd, starting at 4:30 p.m., and while there are a still few slots left, you should call ahead for reservations.
If you’re still concerned you won’t be able to get enough encased meat into your system during this Oktoberfest season, you’ll be relieved to know that today is the first day of Sausage Fest at Standard Tap (901 N. 2nd St.). The menu is lengthy and at times so out-of-control delicious-sounding that it almost seems like a cheap shot. Take the scotch egg, for instance: Deep-fried? Chorizo-wrapped? Bacon-onion butter? Come ON. Or the “mixed bag” link of various game with jalapeno and cheddar, “wrapped in sweet custard toast, served with maple syrup”? We’re not even entirely sure what that means, except that it’s making us feel all funny. Our pals at uwishunu have the full menu, which is available at the Tap now through Thursday, September 27th.
Finally, some weekend reminders: Sly Fox’s Can Jam takes place this Saturday in Pottstown; the NFCA’s gluten-free carnival Appetite for Awareness is on Sunday; and here are the details on Saturday’s Oktoberfest street festival outside of Frankford Hall (along with Brauhaus Schmitz’s upcoming collaborative meal on Monday, which you can still buy tickets for here).
