Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Joe Sixpack and the female half of Meal Ticket have more than excessive brew knowledge in common � we both worship at the counterculture altar of Tom Robbins, who has beaten us to writing a beer book for kids. Robbins' trademark mind-bending prose is ideal for childhood's long strange trip; read a few chapters on HarperCollins Web site here.
- Union Trust partner Terry White is out like blue eyeshadow, according to Michael Klein at The Insider. White's (former) partners at Union Trust, Ed Doherty and developer Joe Grasso, did not comment on the split. A lightened menu and lower price points are on the docket from new chef de cuisine Kevin Sbraga, former culinary director of Jose Garces� Restaurant Group. Shrimp cocktail ceviche, perhaps?
- Shed a tear over your final roast pork with rabe and prov at Shank & Evelyn's, which will serve their last in the Italian Market location tomorrow. MenuPages blog notes that the Poppa family will re-open at 120 S. 15th Street in six to eight weeks.� Hopefully the Souf Philly waitresses can venture north without turning into pumpkins. Perky Center City waitrons don't have the style to serve Shank's sandwiches.
- Foodie at Fifteen Nick mourns the addition of a la carte and walk-in dining at his personal "Mt. Olympus," Thomas Keller's Per Se in NYC. Sixteen is old enough to learn that in a recession, nothing is sacred, especially $300 tasting menus.
- Charlotte at Farm to Philly shares her method for splitting a batch of homemade mayo � some for now, and some to freeze for later. Kudos to solving a great mystery of the kitchen: What the heck do I do with all this mayo?
