| The spread at SquareBurger |
Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Phoodie.info samples Stephen Starr's SquareBurger, and finds some satisfying and affordable, if not groundbreaking, park fare.� The Butterscotch Krimpet Cake Shake, however, is something else entirely.
- More big news on the Starr SquareBurger front: The fries are frozen, and Grub Street Philadelphia gets the dirty details from Starr catering director Simon Powles. Hey, if it's good enough for Thomas Keller...
- Beer Lass Suzanne Woods clues you in on Flying Fish Exit 11, debuting tonight at Swift Half and Varga Bar. Taste a wheat beer with more than a little hop-to tonight, and look for Meal Ticket's review of the stuff that has M.A.D.D.'s knickers in a twist tomorrow.
--The Insider has the scoop on Fond, yet another restaurant opening on East Passyunk Ave. Check out the boldface names from Le Bec and Lacroix headed down Souf.
-- Hawk Krall of Drawing For Food pimps the latest in his hot dog painting series for Serious Eats, the Tijuana Dog. He also begs the question: why no bacon-wrapped Mexican hot dogs, like those commonly sold late night outside of bars in L.A., in Philly?
Just gave Squareburger a whirl- gotta say I had high hopes and they were D-A-S-H-E-D. First off… a good ten minute wait for a milkshake, with burger in hand? and only 2 other customers at the whole place?? yikes. Asked for NO ketchup and NO onions. Needless to say after waiting for 10 minutes just to get the accompanying beverage, I wasn’t about to wait all over again after discovering my burger slathered in ketchup… gross No vanilla ice cream for the cake shake, so they subbed chocolate which was cool except….. THEY FORGOT THE CAKE! lame. $9 for a half wrong burger and a completely FAILed milkshake. Still, I choked that jawn down quick as hell. I will give you a second chance, squareburger. But fail me again and it’s CURTAINS.
Wow, 0for2, you must have a lot of time on your hands to leave this same comment on 4 different blogs. You went on the second day of operation -- give it another shot! I was there today, and the lines were there, but not too long, and the food is great. They went through 72 gallons of ice cream on Wednesday. Lighten up.
doesn't it say right there they're going to give it a second shot? fools! wendy's forever!!
