SNACK TIME: 1 percent tip is a lie, the little sushi that could, bitters in food, liquor in your pocket, The Union League is anti-wiener, the best worst food from America, and SLOTHS!
- Remember how we posted about that awful tipper in last week's Snack Time? Looks like we, and the rest of the internet, were HOODWINKED! Turns out the whole thing was a sham. Well, I never.
- If you know anything about me at all, you know I love sushi. The bros over at Bamboo Sushi seems to have heard about this and made this little video just for me. It documents the journey of a fish from the water to the table and Bamboo's approach to sustainability.
- Grub Street New York posted this article on using bitters in food. They're used all the time in the Carribean, as Angostura bitters are from Trinidad and Tobago. Rarely do chefs in the States use bitters in cooking, but one who does resides right here in Philly: Fish's Monica Glass includes bitters in her cherry meringue.
- In addition to the overhaul that the PLCB performed on 10 liquor stores, they've also released an iPhone app that acts as a state-store locator and locates bottles you're looking for, among other features. For those of us not on the iWagon, they'll be coming out with an Android version soon.
- The Union League's Joan Carter doesn't care about hot dogs. Carter mentions in a letter that she had exiled a hot dog vendor from Broad and Sansom to "buy back [their] corner" and make it a "cleaner, safer and better" place. Hot dog-related crime has really been on the rise lately. Strong move, Joanie.
- Guys look, a whole photo gallery of the country's 50 fattiest foods. That's one from each state. Peep PA at No. 48. Bet you can't guess what our dish is.
- If you were hoping that we would post a vid of a really cute baby sloths, today is your day. It's food- related, in that they drink milk and get coated in lard. And then wrapped in this really precious patterned gauze, like they're wearing clothes!
