Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Cookbook author, chef and food writer: Lari Robling's resume is bulletproof. All the more reason to listen to her tout the kid-and-wallet-friendly choices at the IKEA cafeteria in Friday's Inquirer.
- Blogalicious is excited to report that Elevation Burger's grass-fed, organic beefiness will be coming to Walnut Street. Dan Marino, GM of the Wynnewood Elevation,won't give up the precise address, but look for the Oreo shakes and olive-oil fries to hit town in 6 to 8 months.
- Seen Through A Glass writer Lew Bryson notes that year-to-date imported beer sales are down 9.3 percent. Seems like as drinkers walk away from more expensive foreign beers, they tend to veer straight into the American craft aisle.
- Cupcakes continue to trend upward in Philly, with The Restaurant Club revealing that Flying Monkey Bakery will be opening a Center City location at 1112 Locust St.� Owner Rebecca Michaels says that progress is about 80 percent complete ... take one guess what is holding up the last bit.
- Sure to provoke much heated dissent, Foobooz dropped their Top 50 Bars list today. Take a look to see who's on top and who got no love.
