SNACK TIME: posso avere due frulatti, is an egg sort of an embryonic meat?, The New York Times restaurant critic gig comes up for grabs, the many moods and meals of Gordon Ramsay

Frulatto with bendy straw at La Golosa

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.

- Frullati, the spice-tinged whipped chocolate and fruit concoctions at Passyunk Avenue's La Golosa, have food critic Adam Erace at Blogalicious doing the dessert dance. The cacao drink has frothy bubbles and a bendy straw, but darling, don't call it a milkshake.

- Despite the absence of a dedicated vegetarian entre�, Living On The Vedge finds a lot to like at Noble American Cookery. An appetizer of poached white asparagus is topped with summer truffles and a flash-fried soft-boiled egg, proving for good and all that vegetarians can eat just as unhealthily as the rest of us.

- With Frank Bruni leaving the restaurant critic gig at The New York Times, The Illadelph speculates on the odds that Craig LaBan might take a stab at what is clearly the best job in the universe.

- Yesterday, Michael Klein at the Inky revealed that reality TV fixture and three-star Michelin chef Gordon Ramsay would be making the servers cry at fishtown's Hot Potato Caf� for Kitchen Nightmares. Then he reported that after Ramsay's sample tasting dinner at Hot Potato, he managed to get fed on the late at 10 Arts. Where will the Mad Dog Chef strike next? If he's smart, he'll ask for a reco and not just default to the only New York chef restaurant in town.

- Also, Klein has "moles." Not on his face, but the spying sort well-placed in struggling restaurants. He lays out the rules for guests dining on camera at Hot Potato this week. If you were planning on wearing your all-white, midriff-baring outfit, you're not gettin' any taters.
