Every Wednesday, we poke around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Adam at Blogalicious makes a bid to get Peter Woolsey's French in-laws to adopt him, proving his love at Bistrot La Minette's family-style prix-fixe dinner. Four-course menu options range from $45-$65, with increases based on the inclusion of luxe ingredients like foie gras or a fromage plate. Consider yourself at home, Adam.
- Foodaphilia wishes happy birthday to Metropolitan Bakery, which turns the big 1-5 this year. Elizabeth also highlights Metropolitan's new 15-month calendar full of recipes, customer comments and pretty pretty bread pictures. All proceeds from the calendar will be donated to Project H.O.M.E., aiding them in their mission to end homelessness in Philadelphia.
- Collin Flatt of phoodie.info lays out his picks for Philly Mag's Wine Week dinners. La Famiglia and Le Castagne both make the thumbs-up list, while Davio's Italian Steakhouse is scathingly dissed for their spendy snoozer of a Wine Week menu.
- The MenuPages blog sticks to hard news, updating the story on the UK cannibal chef, who's drawn canteen duty in a Leeds prison.
- Serious Eats reports on banana shortages in Japan that have mono-fruit dieters in a tizzy, Russian reproductions of famous paintings rendered in charcuterie, and AQ Kafé, a new Swedish coffee and sandwich shop in NYC owned by Marcus Samuelsson (who lasted less than one summer as chef of Stephen Starr's doomed eatery Washington Square).
