IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, September 8

POSTED: Thursday, September 8, 2011, 9:41 AM

Filed Under: In Print

- The 43-year-old Happy Rooster is in Adam Erace's sights this week as he tests out grub from the bar's new 23-year-old chef, Matt Savastano. How's the kid stack up?

- Zha jiang mian, a northern Chinese specialty consisting of ground pork stewed in soybean paste, is one of those dishes that sticks with you. We experiment with making it at home; recipe will appear on Meal Ticket a bit later today.

- In Feeding Frenzy: Details on the brand-new Tashan, plus quick hits on Barbacoa, Isabel and Tsingtau Lokal.

- In What's Cooking: Word on this weekend's South Philly Food Co-op fundraiser and A Full Plate rib cookoff, plus a bunch more in food/drink events.

- In Icepack: A.D. Amorosi juggles a few fun food-ish tidbits, including Lucky Old Souls' new food truck and a nice cookbook look for Delicatessen chef Ali Waks.

Founded in October 2008, Meal Ticket is a City Paper blog about food, drink and assorted other things that make you go mmm. We do recipes, interviews, restaurant news, commentary and much more. We don't do restaurant reviews here — those are handled in print, mostly by our critic (and Meal Ticket contributor) Adam Erace. Got a tip, question, thought or concern? Just want to say hello?
