Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
--� Serious Eats asks the question, Is there anything goats can't do?� If you have a patch of weedy land in need of clearing, Rent-A-Ruminant offers an alternative to noxious chemicals or an unwieldy bush hog -- a fleet of goats, who will chew down almost anything in their path.� Free fertilizer included.
-- PA crime lab results are in on the faux-Maker's at Oscar's scandal. Victor Fiorillo, who reported on his personal experience with what he suspected to be impostor booze on The Restaurant Club, looks like the winner in this one.� Though for dive-bar aficionados who so want to believe our dive bar loves us back, this comes as a real gut punch.
-- KleInsider has the deets on Rouge's next venture: a burger shop at 15th and Sansom.� He reports owners Rob and Maggie Wasserman were inspired by the demand for mini versions of the signature, super-fatty-delicious Rouge burger at the last Rittenhouse Row festival.
-- Top Ten Business Ideas That Will Make You Money/Very Chubby:� Franchising a Sarcone's Deli. The Illadelph notes Sarcone's new storefront on 9th St., as well as run-offs of the successful shop in Newtown, PA, Medford, NJ and an upcoming Delaware location.
-- Read all the food blogs today but still hungry?� Check out Gigabiting, a newish Philly-based blog that promises authors "who can really write" (hey, what are you implying, buster?) and "never a photograph of last night's dinner."
