Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- From lumpy, vari-colored tomatoes to grumpy, tasty pigs, everything we eat has been revived in a heirloom version. Now Philly Market Caf� throws out an ode to the heritage alliums available at Headhouse Square farmers market. Gaetano knows you can't cook without alliums, and local garlic is milder and sweeter than any trucked-in Cali bulb.
- Lew Bryson of Seen Through A Glass is unsurprised that the Heavy Seas Beer & Bacon Fest is selling out fast. Click over for the details on the Sept. 19 pig-and-pints event, and to see the Bacon Bra, if you haven't yet.
- Georges Perrier has a rep as a screamer, a tantrum-thrower and the godfather of haute cuisine in Philadelphia. Foobooz diagrams his influence with the Legion of Perrier graphic, visualizing the local chefs who have passed through the hallowed Le Bec-Fin kitchen over the years.
- The Insider reports that Tiffin owner Munish Narula is opening two more locations, both in the 'burbs.
- Food trucks are gettin' trendy, so you know Stephen Starr has to have one. The Illadelph examines Michael Klein's Inky story on the glut of casual, inexpensive concepts from big-name restaurateurs � possibly including mobile concessions from the depths of the Death Starr.
