IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, May 5
Though the book is far more political than culinary, it does offer some amazing insights into Mrs. Child — she was an experienced opium slinger, for example.
IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, May 5
- Adam Erace visits Mark and Eric Plescha, the undercover brothers who run the modern BYOB Charcoal in Yardley. The self-taught chefs, who took the restaurant over from their father, are using modern techniques to their best advantage. "Family and rebirth are the themes of Charcoal's story," says Erace, "and from the open, come-say-hi kitchen to the down-to-earth service, that sense of togetherness colors the dining experience."
- Author Jennett Conant — who's at the Free Library in Philly tonight — chronicles Julia Child's pre-cooking exploits in WWII espionage and black propaganda in her book A Covert Affair: Julia Child and Paul Child in the OSS. Though the book is far more political than culinary, it does offer some amazing insights into Mrs. Child — she was an experienced opium slinger, for example.
- In Feeding Frenzy, there's word on Spread Bagelry and a new Center City Saxbys Coffee, plus all sorts of other little vittles.
- Over in What's Cooking, Laurel Rose Purdy shares details on a jam-packed food/drink week: Check out details on a high-grav "beer goggles" dinner at Varga Bar, next week's Meal Ticket panel event (more on that here!), some Mother's Day ideas and more.
