| Fete Day on Elfreth's Alley |
Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- If you've ever wondered how life in colonial Philadelphia tasted, visit Elfreth's Alley annual Fete Day this Sat., June 6. UWISHUNU has the lowdown on the Fete, a block party complete with early-American food, crafts, demonstrations and tours of the oldest residential street in America.
- Steven Cook and Michael Solomonov � the duo behind Marigold Kitchen, Xochitl and Zahav �� have signed a lease for the former Crescent City space on on the 900 block of South Street, reports Michael Klein on The Insider. The restaurateurs will install a Texas-style barbecue restaurant to open mid-fall; name and chef to be announced.
- MenuPages Blog picks up a cute Food Network video of Philly girl Katie Cavuto, a registered dietician, personal chef and former gymnast competing on the upcoming season of The Next Food Network Star. You can read a Q&A with her on Philly Mag's Restaurant Club blog, or meet her perk in person at the Sidecar Bar & Grill June 13. (She's also featured in our May 7 piece on Philly Kitchen Share.)
- Craig LaBan doesn't get much sympathy from anybody. As food critic for the Inquirer, he gets to eat and nitpick as a career. The pity embargo was lifted today, when I read his review of KFC's new Kentucky Grilled Chicken. The appetizing descriptors dry, flabby, flaccid and " half-rendered puddles of fat" were all used.
- If you haven't mangled a McGlinchey's chili dog in a while, Hawk Krall of Drawing For Food wants you to rest assured they haven't changed at all. Scrounge some change out of the sofa and slouch into the Glinch for a porter and a dog. Things are gonna be alright.
