SNACK TIME: food for fancy lads, coffee and cow, together at last, digesting Jose, Akoya takes off, tasteful tomes at The Restaurant School

The Fancy Foods Show only comes but once a year

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

- Unbreaded treks to NYC for the 55th Annual NASFT Fancy Food Show, a glutton's fantasy of multi-hued olive oils, cured meats, deluxe chocolate, candy of every sort, teas, coffees and every other thing that makes your credit card vibrate when you step into Di Bruno Bros.

- Apples and Cheese, Please unites two of America's obsessions with Bon Appetit's coffee-rubbed burgers. Two great tastes that taste great together? Girlfriend gives it a hearty hell yeah; you get the recipe just in time for Fourth of July cookouts.

- Foobooz has conveniently chewed over Lauren McCutcheon's Philadelphia Magazine profile of our favorite cook, Jose Garces, and spit out the highlights. Peep it to find out if Village Whiskey will open before brown liquor goes out of fashion, and why the man missed the James Beard Awards.

- Akoya, the restaurant below Pearl nightspot, is taking the summer off, according to Michael Klein at The Insider.

- Foodaphilia tours The Restaurant School's library before enjoying a multi-course dinner in the student-run restaurant, including a whipped goat cheese infused with herbs that she plans to make at home.
