Win tix to Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert's Nov. 2 Merriam Theater show
Filed Under: Chef Salad | Food Events
Next Wednesday, Nov. 2, chefs, authors, TV stars and unabashed bros Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert are appearing at the Merriam Theater (250 S. Broad St.) for an evening of off-the-cuff culinary conversation and Q&A that will likely evolve into discussions of chefs as celebrity, boozing, cooking trends, stoner food and (we're sure of this last one) your girl Paula Deen. Tickets are going for, as one friend put it, "Radiohead prices," but Meal Ticket's got a pair that we're getting rid of for free. You want? Just leave a comment on this post with a funny, original and/or scathing answer to the following question:
If you spotted Bourdain and Ripert sitting at your local bar, what drinks would you buy for them — and WHY?
Submit your comment between now and 5 p.m. this Thursday, Oct. 27 to be eligible for the win. We'll select the best answer and alert the winner via email, so be sure you comment/register with an address you check frequently. Good luck! See y'all there.

The Berliner Weiss at Nodding head. It's a great Philadelphia rendition on a classic, rarely seen beer that's not bottled. I'd like to thing Philly can still show there are a few things to discover here.— wgkealey- the citywide special (pabst and a shot of beam) 1) because i'm broke 2) they don't need to be impressed 3) WHY WOULDN'T YOU?!— rb215
- Vieux Carres. It's classic yet modern. Boozy. Motherfucking delicious. And it's good for the franco and the -phile. It's layered and complex but is also chilled booze that you can slug if the need arises.— jerseyjuggernaut
- Mr. Bourdain gets a scotch and water, hold the scotch, because he's worthless when he gets liquored up. Mr. Ripert receives a glass of the house red to just to see his nose turn up.— Mr. Cain
- For Tony, the most outlandish, ornate, girl drink on the menu. Little paper umbrellas, fire and pink straws preferred.
For Eric, a tall boy can of High Life, which he has to shotgun.
Why? Because I would love to see them drink both.— lawgirl321978 - Bourdain: Sazeroot from Percy Street. Tasty, will knock him off his ass, plus Root is organic. The way he whales on Paula Deen and Rachel Ray for poisoning the general public, this would something he would approve.
Ripert: Straight shot of mezcal. He tries to come off as a debonair Frenchman, but you know there is a dark side waiting for the right worm to come his way.— redsonya75 - They both get a Shackamaximum. Its local, in season and I think its one of the best beers we put out from the area. Just a good brew to represent philly as a beer city.— kmcd85
- Eagle Juice from the OG Trestle Inn. DUH.— kibby
- They've had the best of the best. I'd make them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. No organic crap, just straight up grocery store peanut butter and jelly on white, not wheat.— ecl
- They would get PBC's Harvest from the Hood from a bar a few blocks from where the hops are sourced. Seems worthy of a piece on his television program.— suporma
- They would both get cement mixers. You may not remember a good drink, but you will most definitely remember the most disgusting f****** thing you've ever tasted. After that, hopefully some post-trauma bonding and some more palatable drinks to make up for the insult. I mean really, how many people do these guys meet, I want to be remembered.— clag88
- Found this on Philadelphia Magazine's website and thought it to be the best for both of these chefs. "A serious beer drinker living too close to Victory Brewing Company’s bar is like David Duchovny living down the street from a whorehouse: fun, sure, but it’s not going to lead to anything good"— kho
- I'd tell them that they could buy me a sazerac. They're millionaires and dudes, why do I need to be spending my money on them? They seem reasonable enough, I'm sure they'd understand that.— jon_k
- id get Bourdain a Negroni (http://www.forbes.com/2008/07/01/anthony-bourdain-interview-forbeslife-drink08-cx_avb_0701bourdain.html) and Chef Ripert the finest single spirit available...preferably a glass of El Dorado 21 year (http://liquor.com/liquor/chefs-table-drinking-with-eric-ripert/)— TomJonze
- I'm guessing the Bike Stop. A pitcher of Cosmopolitans.— Holly Moore
- For Bourdain, an Uni shooter with gin, because everything it better with sea urchin roe. And for Ripert, a glass of Gelber Muskateller from Austria, because its delicious and I first had it at Le Bernardin. After that its all pbr's and bottom shelf whiskey and ending the night most likely fighting a cab drive while trying to pay with a credit card.— d-epic
- For Bourdain, I'd get him a glass of melted butter (but hold the heavy cream), in honor of Paula Deen, and I've love to see him make some more quips about her. For Ripert, a glass of Bourdeaux as he's said it's what he'd want as part of his last supper in Melanie Dunea's book.— foodlover821
- Bourdain loves local & Ripert has a base here so my local bar happens to be the "neighborhood grill" of Rittenhouse Square so it's perfect.. Twenty Manning Grill's Rye Street for Bourdain and The Iconoclast for Ripert.
The Rye Street is comprised of Dock Street Rye India Pale Ale, RI1 Rye Whiskey, St. Germain, & a dash of bitters.. a local beer mixed with a masculine liquor topped with a little bitter twist! Everyone knows Twenty Manning for it's food, but they have bartenders that are amongst the best in the city - a great discovery, another Bourdain trait!
I know Ripert loves Bordeaux but unless we're going to 10Arts or Le Bec Fin the chances you'll find one at a local bar that's up to par is slim to none.. So The Iconoclast - comprised of Henderick's Gin, Square One Organic Cucumber Vodka, & Lillet (think cucumber martini-esque).. light, crisp, & clean - perfect for a chef like Eric Ripert!— KBuckley - Trick question, no one would buy either of them a drink.— gluten
- I would pretend to mistake Bourdain for Andrew Zimmerman. I would order him a New Jersey Turnpike and make a joke about it being a bizarre food. When he informs me that I have him confused with someone else I would tell him that all of the food network people look the same (yes, I would say food network).
And Ripert, he would get one too. Because he is French and all French people are stuck up because stereotypes never lie.— mPorcelan - They both get a shot and a beer. As for Anthony, that's what he is supposed to do - eat and drink like the locals.
Ripert? I just want to see that snobbish lip curl he does. They both should eat some of whatever low fuss snacks are on the bar!— nastymanic - I'd send Tony a spiked Shirley Temple and Eric a perfect dirty martini.— MissM06
- A beer. Quit with the exotic stuff, you're in Philly.— Nursegrrl8
