| A Food Coma |
| Panzanella |
Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- A Food Coma adapts traditional Tuscan panzanella (bread salad) with summery vegetables for a meal that is satisfying but not smothering.
- Methinks The Illadelph has a source employed by SRO. That, or Starr's Twitter feed goes straight to his cerebral cortex. The blogger points us towards some facts (Butcher & Singer has been doing about 1,500 lunch covers a week off the interest in their $5.95 burger) and a new deal (the dinner menu has a new, 24-ounce bone-in ribeye for a measly $18).
- Food bloggers in Philly have new competition: the WOT Marketing-created Frankentwat known as Arthur Kade is now intent on breaking lounge openings. Recess Lounge will be "So Private that only the top 100-200 people in the city who are in the A-List are going to be allowed in," according to our too-good-to-need-an-editor model/The Journeyman/extra. Foobooz smashes own fingers in car door to distract from Kade-pain.
- Eat Me Daily notices when ABC has former NY Times food critic Frank Bruni eat and review a Choco Taco. Watch it and try not to run to the bodega to buy one. Just try.
- Finally, Serious Eats previews tonight's premiere of� Top Chef: Las Vegas. Look out for befeathered Vegas showgirls, a clam confusion, and Tom C. looking of-the-moment in a vest.
