Another, hidden Philly shout-out in GQ
Alan Richman is serious about lots of things, especially scrapple.
Another, hidden Philly shout-out in GQ
GQ's Alan Richman dropped a nice little love-bomb on vegan standard-bearer Vedge in his "12 Most Outstanding Restaurants of 2013" story, but did you catch the other Philly nod, leading off a write-up of Memphis' Italian-Southern mash-up?
"The scrapple," said the young waiter at Hog & Hominy, describing a special of the day, "is a kind of northern, Yankee-style dish."
"Son," I replied, "scrapple is a Philadelphia dish, and I'm from Philadelphia. You southerners shouldn't bother trying to get it right."
Richman, who matriculated at Penn and covered the Sixers for the Daily News, went on to praise the not-quite-scrapple scrapple, and the restaurant's inventive blending of cousins. But homeboy knows what's up, and we don't suspect any local scrapple makers need to be watching their backs.
