Philly Market Cafe
Possible canel� packaging by Gaetano

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world too see what's simmering.

- Canel� King Gaetano of Philly Market Cafe is getting his nascent canel� vending business off the ground. Look for his Bordeaux pastry sharing space with Joe the Coffee Guy at the Headhouse Farmer's Market, and at an upcoming market outside Whole Foods on Thursdays that launches June 18.

- Plato gravity, the specs of the Reinheitsgebot and identifying phenols are child's play to the Craft Beer Institute's Cicerone Certification Program. Joe Sixpack's current column in the Daily News profiles the exam that tests the geekiest of beer geeks. Try your hand (or dash your hopes) at Beer Radar.

-Gabe Jaffe at Drawing For Food posts a recipe for slow-braised pork carnitas that's easy and way tempting, if not faster than hitting up Veracruzana.

- 'Tis the season for radishes, and Farm To Philly has some suggestions for what to do with the little sparkplugs. Try out a soup made from radish greens and a riff on the classic radish-cooked-in-butter.

- MenuPages blog picks up a fun story on Red Bull Cola, which was found to contain traces of actual cocaine! Six German states have already banned the drink; read all about it on the New York Post's site.
