IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, March 15

Team Meal Ticket took over the print edition of City Paper this week, and we're excited to share everything here with you online! Let's see ...
- Ramen, and all the hand-wringing and histrionics surrounding it, has long been a "thing" in other cities, and it's suddenly coming into sharp focus here in Philadelphia. We talk to chefs, brothmakers, academics and more about the insane popularity of the Japanese noodle soup and why it garners such passionate reactions.
- South Philly restaurant Le Virtù takes its name for a traditional and complex Abruzzese soup that celebrates the arrival of the spring season. Adam Erace snags a home cook-friendly recipe from chef Joe Cicala so you can turn your pantry-cleaning into dinner.

- Philly restaurants talk to Brion Shreffler about their love affair with tongue — fascinating to learn about just how differently Korean, Israeli, Italian and New American chefs approach the preparation of the replete-with-fat cut, a true "gateway drug" into offal eating.
- Adam Erace hits up American Sardine Bar in beautiful Point Breeze, where chefs Scott Schroeder and Amanda Smith are doing honest and delicious bar food to complement 16 craft drafts.
- In Feeding Frenzy: Underdogs, Kung Fu Hoagies and Jar Bar open, Le Bec-Fin, Healthy Bites, Strange Brew and Café con Chocolate close.
- In What's Cooking: St. Patty's steez, Puerto Rican black-tie galas, Indian single malts and freeeee yogurt!
- In Icepack: A.D. Amorosi with the scuttlebutt on the Old City food scene, The Farmers' Cabinet crew and what's going on at Ortlieb's.
