| A Hamburger Today |
Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Adam Kuban of A Hamburger Today takes Burger King's new cologne, Flame, for a nose-drive. The olfactory decision? Sniffers characterized it as "truck-stop air freshener," "lincoln logs," or a junior high girlfriend's leather jacket. No trace of meat was registered, sadly. I think I'd take a second whiff of a guy who smelled like the king of sandwiches.
- Bhiladelphia wonders if Capogiro Gelato Artisans is seeking a liquor license for an upcoming location. From personal experience, I'd say that a glass of sparkling Prosecco topped with a poco scoop of clementine or pear sorbetto is one of the finest things in life. Café corretto, a shot of espresso spiked with Sambuca, also lives in that category. Give it up, LCB!
-Travelin'-son-of-a-brew Adam Erace of Blogalicious heads south to Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware for some sweet beer sampling at the source. He gets down with the wintery Chicory Stout, winey Red & White, and the wood-aged, GABF-medaling Palo Santo brown ale, which we insisted he try and then haul back to PA for us.
-Phoodie.info announces Tiffin's strikeback against the hordes flocking to Girard Ave.'s latest Indian darling, Ekta. They have made their move, and it is brunch. $8.50 buys you all-you-can-eat specialty entreés, apps, breads, rice, tandoori grilled kebabs and dessert. And it ain't no buffet! We anxiously await Ekta's next move in this fabulously fragrant curried chess game.
- Michael Klein of The Insider reports that the Triangle Tavern at 10th and Reed has closed. The bar served a five-day liquor license suspension in September, a consequence of serving intoxicated individuals and minors in 2007. They were the scene of an alleged hate crime over the summer. With their liquor license unrenewed, it is unlikely the Triangle will open under current management anytime soon.
