Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
-I used to moan about the lack of lobster rolls in our fair city; the crustacean keepers must have heard my cry.� Not only do we have the tony $26 version at the gorgeous old-is-new-again Oyster House, but Phoodie.info has the word on London Grill's $13 lobby roll and $18.95 lobster bake.
- We are really into the MenuPages blog, much more so than MenuPages itself.� So we're feeling a bit worried about blogger Elsa Marvel, since the blog hasn't been updated since June 5.�� Where are you, girl? Mama says come home.
-� Michael Klein of The Insider must have a Spidey sense for delayed openings. This week he has the details on The Commonwealth, a new "adaptable social space" in Midtown Village.
- Philly Mag food writer and What I Weigh Today blogger Joy Manning went to NYC and hit up two of the most buzzy restaurants in town, Corton and Minetta Tavern. Click over for the scoop and a new wine expert to follow on Twitter.
- Yards could be opening a brewpub in Merchantville, New Jersey, says Joe Sixpack on Beer Radar.� The boys are also hard at work devising a pub for their production brewery on Delaware Avenue, which would add the entertaining spectacle of beer geeks� and Octo Grille patrons alike Froggering across the Avenue on Friday nights.
I had been wondering too. Any update? I really enjoyed reading Elsa's daily posts, I hope to see her blog back and running soon. Hope you're OK. Carl
sptr has a lobster roll for $14, that is absolutely amazing. taste exactly like the ones on cape cod.
Rumor has it she's gotten the axe.
