Sept. 20: Farmhouse Ale Dinner at South Philly Tap Room
 |
Before we get started, can everyone just talk a moment to bask in the they-are-good-sports glory that is this flyer for Sept. 20 Farmhouse Ale Dinner at SPTR (1509 Mifflin St.)? SPTR has had some great ad spoofs in the past, and they're keeping the tradition alive with this one, from chef Scott Schroeder in overalls to a foursome of the Newbold bar's lovely servers doing the coquetteish farmer's daughter thing. (Full flyer after the jump.)
Onto the event itself � $75 a head might sound like a lot of money, but please take into consideration what you're getting. Schroder has invited chefs Sheri Waide (Southwark), Gene Giuffi (Cochon), Nick Macri (Beneluxx) and his friend Patrick O'Malley (Soho's Balthazar) to offer up all-you-can-eat grub walk-up buffet style. Menu hasn't been set in stone yet, but Schroeder sees Waide doing stuffed duck, Giuffi doing something with pork, Macri bringing some signature charcuterie (we hear he has some baby suckling pig legs hanging up in his curing room for prosciutto) and O'Malley handling all things bread and pastry.
Then there's the all-you-can-drink farmhouses, which we all need to drink before it gets too chilly � a total of 10 on tap, with plenty more in bottles (a few teasers on SPTR's site). "We don't what to put it out there exactly what," says owner John Longacre of the full brew lineup, "but there are definitely going to be some treats." (He also hints of a potential surprise guest chef, but won't say who.)
