Ramen rummaging, Vol. 2

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

- Collin Flatt finds soul in a bowl with Chifa's smoky pork-belly ramen on Phoodie.info, his second dispatch in a series seeking serious noodles around town.

- School district administrators and elected officials are not feeling the West Philly charter school/after hours bar the Inquirer outed this week, notes Grub Street Philly. Seems like a weird loophole in our archaic liquor code is responsible for an old after-hours club license being transferred to the Harambee Charter School.

- Foobooz is keen on Amis' new monthly industry nights beginning May 3. Who wouldn't want to get in line for a spread of free Marc Vetri food? Mr. Foobooz is gonna have to pick up a bussing shift somewhere if he wants in, though.

- Qi-Yang "Vic" Shi has sold his Sansom St. Vic Sushi to employees to open a closer-to-home location in Spring House, writes The Insider. Having eaten there Monday night, we can tell you nothing has changed at the urban spot.

- NYC's Milk & Honey mastermixer Sasha Petraske will consult on the concept, but not the cocktail list, of Stephen Starr's speakeasy annex to upcoming Mexico City-themed El Rey, writes The Illadelph. Are the blocks between 18th and 20th/Chestnut and Sansom destined to become Philly's style-bar corridor?
