Foodery Cat has Facebook!

Just discovered that Nabi, the super-friendly gray-and-white tomcat who holds it down at The Foodery at 10th and Pine, has his own Facebook profile. His favorite TV shows include Alf and Inspector Gadget and he counts Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the OG Austin Powers among his favorite movies. (For what it's worth, it was difficult deciding which category to use for this post. Went with "Food News," as this is undoubtedly newsworthy.)

SORRY, that is not cute.... cat laying all over the counter around the food.  I'm glad they said where this store is located.  I will not be shopping there.

What is not cute is the 27 bones I paid for a six pack, even with their 10% discount. I have found that at 12 ounces per, you can do better at many bars throughout our fair city.

AJ, it's not like they're rubbing the cat all over the sandwiches. The Foodery is almost entirely a beer store and takeaway market and nearly all the products are refrigerated/sealed. There is no food preparation at the counter, which you wouldn't know anyway because it sounds like you've never been there. He mostly hangs around and sleeps and once in awhile pops out and says hi to customers. I think it's pretty awesome, in this era of freakish killjoy rules and regulations, that they have a mascot like Nabi! 

Plus, if you live near Philly or at least familiar enough with it to read a Philly food blog, and you don't know where the Foodery is, it's probably better that you don't shop there anyway.
