SNACK TIME: shop seasonal in Clark Park, happy birthday Dr. Seuss!, buy the (whole) bar at Brasserie, the Beer Lass has no time for swine, but illustrators gotta eat

A wintry Saturday at Clark Park
The Seasonal Chef

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

- We're getting lots of hot tips from our friends over the bridge this week. South Jersey Locavore Robin Shreeves is reminded by The Seasonal Chef that the Clark Park Farmer's Market is open year-round, with a dozen vendors supplying cheese, free-range meats and more vegetables than you would expect from the last gasp of Pennsylvania's winter.

- Food enthusiasts John and Lisa are Eating in South Jersey note that Collingswood grilled-cheese factory The Pop Shop is celebrating what would be Dr. Seuss's 105th birthday with a kid's menu that includes green eggs and ham and Who-roast-beast.

- Michael Klein at The Insider reports that the entire contents of shuttered Brasserie Perrier are up for auction, including the weighty marble-topped bar, wrought-iron artwork and chandeliers. The 40-gallon Cleaveland braising pan would make one hell of a wedding present. Auction inspection is Saturday; bidding is already open.

- Beer Lass Suzanne Woods is doing the unthinkable.� She's giving up pig for Lent. What is she going to eat to soak up all the Beer Week goodies flowing next week, I ask? Don't do it, Suzanne, the Pope will never know!

- Illustrator Kris Chau enjoys the bounty of quality takeout from Nick's Charcoal Pit in South Philly. Smoked ribs and crispy onion rings keep Chau and her partner-in-eating Tim fueled for Drawing For Food.
