SNACK TIME: Adam Erace's select slices, Ocean City to remain as dry as ever, drinkable bacon, DIY Greek yogurt, spray-on buzz, and edible celebrities
The Web site for the award-winning alternative weekly, the Philadelphia City Paper.
SNACK TIME: Adam Erace's select slices, Ocean City to remain as dry as ever, drinkable bacon, DIY Greek yogurt, spray-on buzz, and edible celebrities
- CP food critic/pizza connoisseur Adam Erace dishes on his favorite pies for Eater Philly. Foreshadowed by several NFTW posts, Santucci's unsurprisingly makes the cut. Erace also reminisces about his childhood, noting Mack & Manco's in Ocean City as one of his faves.
- Following up on last week's Snack Time, Tuesday's vote to BYOB-ify O.C. resulted in no change in policy. A referendum was up for vote last November, but was removed from the ballot because the allowable amount of alcohol wasn't specified. Guess it's still take out from Mack's and drinking at home. Pizza's on Adam Erace.
- Here's a whole website of celebrities as food called Foodlebrities.com! Just to name a few, there's Pita Frampton, Surge Gainsbourg, Bill Nye the Science Fry, Goldie Prawn and The Adventures of Beet & Beet. (Pictured above: Flan-a Del Ray.) There's also a link to a photo editor so you can submit your own. Don't even think about doing Kevin Bacon, though. Come on.
- The Internet loves bacon. Who goes on the Internet? Everyone. What does everyone like to do? Drink. By the transitive property, bacon + booze = genius. CP contributor/FedNuts donutess Felicia D'Ambrosio reports on all different forms of liquid bacon for Drink Philly. You've got your bacon beers (Organic Bacon Brown Ale), your bacon liquors (Bakon Vodka) and your bacon cocktails (Bacon Old Fashioned). For carnivorous teetotalers, there's bacon soda (limited edition Jones), bacon milkshakes (Jack in the Box) and bacon lattes (Pirate Cat Radio Cafe).
- If you can't always get to Trader Joe's for Fage, you can make your own Greek-style yogurt at home. All you need is a coffee filter, a few colanders and plain yogurt. And probably a spoon, but if you eat yogurt with your hands, that's cool too. We don't judge.
- David Edwards, a professor at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, has created an alcoholic spray called WA|HH, a name reminiscent of the "'blessed sigh that you have when [the spray] has entered into your mouth.'" The small aerosol can fits in your pocket and packs a momentary punch, inebriating the user for a few seconds. The spray was conceived for "culinary-design exploration and cultural exploration" purposes and comes in two flavors: Flash, which tastes like vodka, and Demon, which tastes like Tabasco. Unfortunately, WA|HH isn't available in the States, so you'll just have to stick with whippits for now.
