- My beer quests have suddenly become slightly more reputable, thanks to Philly Beer Girl and her heads up on the recently launched PhillyTapFinder. It's wonderful and simple: You can search by beer name, characteristic, style, or bar name. It's also iPhone and BlackBerry friendly, so you can beer quest on the go. Hooray! - Dear Battlefood: Thanks for making me laugh with just two photos and one sentence. - I very much appreciate FarmToPhilly's list of their favorite "local" food apps, with an explanation and link to either purchase or download. Notes to self: 1) get iPhone; 2) download locavore app. - Madame Fromage has teamed up with Di Bruno Brothers for a Wednesday blog series on cheese, and I, for one, am STOKED. Here she starts in on blue cheese for beginners. I'm already daydreaming of the stilton-chutney combo she mentioned. - Uhhhmmm, welcome to earf, FDA. Slashfood shares some info on Four Loko via the Food & Drug Administration, and why drinking it isn't good for you. Twelve percent alcohol, mad caffeine and crazy sweet flavors. Sure, sounds like a healthy, great, innocent night. Until you realize Four Loko IS FUCKING CRAZY and you really shouldn't drink it. Well, you really shouldn't drink more than one... - Holy smokes, thank you Geekologie for posting these awesomely-nerdy-but-still-really-cool Pumpkin carvings.
