SNACK TIME: getting high off ramps, Waldorf gets avant Belgian makeover, Rx still burns it up at brunch, where the cougars will circle come summer, a local's guide to Champagne

Spring ramps

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

- Art Etchells teases his Ramping Up for Sping article for the Metro on Foobooz, as well as posting Pub & Kitchen's brand-new spring eats and wine menu. Bye-bye Brussels sprouts, hello boquerones!

- That old apple-and-raisin warhorse, Waldorf Salad, gets a Belgian makeover by Neal at Burning Pasta. Click over for the sparky orange-infused olive oil and a brand-new va-voom picture of the blogger.

- Kelly of Living On The Vedge ventures to "high Spruce" and finds that brunch at Rx is still live after all these years, though the kitchen did manage to burn Vrapple.

- Adam's got a bad jones for summer. He admits it by posting the menu for Chip Roman's upcoming Shore destination, Blackfish Stone Harbor on Blogalicious. The cougars are oiling their hides even now in preparation.

- David McDuff's Food & Wine Trail plugs Food & Wine writer and Champagne resident Peter Liem's ChampagneGuide.net. For $89 a year, subscribers are privy to Liem's expert tasting notes for more than 600 sparklers of choice, as well as in-depth profiles of estates and producers for an insider's guide to those tiny bubbles.

Thanks for the link! Please pass along my apologies for the burnt vrapple to the Vedger. Good for them for sending it back—I always tell people that we are happy to re-make something if it's not right. It's your money; you should get what you paid for.

Regards,

Greg Salisbury
