Every week, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Mom-of-two Patsy K of Family, Friends and Food isn't the sort who relies on the same old bologna sandwich thrust into a paper bag every day, even though her kids would probably eat it. Instead she whips up a batch of petite fritattas, baked in mini muffin tins, to send to school. I wish my mom had been so motivated. She totally leaned on cheese sandwiches...cue violins.
- Burger King's new advermentary, "Whopper Virgins," by Miami-based Crispin Porter + Bogusky ad agency, has drawn criticism from all corners, reports Robyn Lee for Serious Eats. The concept, which has been derided as "insensitive" and "embarrassing," shows people in burger-less regions of the world (Thailand, Romania, Greenland) having their first bite of both a Whopper and a Big Mac in a quest to determine which is the better crap burger.
- Pot and brownies go together like stoners and senseless giggling, and now Anna of Cookie Madness is mixing things up and throwing mashed pot into the ... pot. Her leftover Thanksgiving smashed spuds lend a fudgy texture and strapping heft to a recipe for Double Chocolate Mashed Potato Brownies. Yeah dude, it's like soooo ... sweeeet. Wait, what's in here?
- Collin Flatt of Phoodie.info has the deets on The Institute's (12th & Green) newest venture: acquiring a microdistillery license and boiling up batches of homemade bourbon. Now, not only will the Spring Garden 'hood have a enviable beer selection, they'll have access to an uber-local quaff perfect for winter 2009 nightcaps.
- Longtime vegetarian Taylor of Mac and Cheese ventures deep into South Philly to experience the charms of Café con Chocolate, and leaves delighted with their wide vegetarian selection of Mexican and Japanese choices, especially their chili-and-spice spiked Chocolate Oaxaca and the perfectly balanced mole.
