Unbreaded
Fu-Wah tofu hoagie, pre-devour

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

- The Unbreaded boys take on the Fu-Wah tofu hoagie, a vegetarian's contender for the classic Philadelphia sandwich. Only here can you get banh mi on an Amoroso roll.

-Kelly White's best quote ever: "We have a case of a kitchen that's trying too hard, combined with a bar that's not trying enough. This is Sansom St., home to the best bikini wax in the world. You need to hang with those guys. There's no room for high-ceiling bars that bury shallots in trends." Click over to Livin' On The Vedge to find out which restaurant she's talking about.

- Rooster in wine, or coq au vin, is a classic dish that is "deceptively hard" but "very tasty" for I'll Eat You. Try Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles recipe the next time you're feeling cock of the walk enough to peel all those pearl onions.

- Foobooz hooks readers up with a coupon for a free pitcher of mixer at modern-Indian BYOB Bindi, courtesy the Center City District's mid-May e-mail. Tote your own booze to combine with nimbu-pani (pomegranate-ginger lemondade) or mango-sharbat (mango, lime, green cardamom).

-MenuPages blog posted videographer David Fields' digi-film of his opening night dinner at Noble American Cookery. Get a look at chef Steven Cameron's much-buzzed cuisine and the two covetable indoor-outdoor tables in action.
