Every Wednesday Thursday (this week), Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering. - Mannn, Europe gets all the good stuff. Like this Dita Von Teese-branded Perrier, which is dropping this summer and will cost 2.65 Euros per six-pack. By our calculations that is roughly $9,000 American. Our math is definitely right. - Midtown Lunch ditches its usual frugal $10 ceiling to splurge on lunch at Fork, and leaves charmed by the "tapas" starters (above), softshell crab sandwich and beef stronganoff. - Stephen Starr's on a bit of a R-Ho tear — less than a month after opening El Rey on Chestnut, just outside the park, he's signed on to open a gastropub on the corner of 18th and Sansom. The Insider has the Xs and Os. - PJs and Coffee peeks its head into El Limon, an upcomng taqueria in Conshohocken that'll apparently offer free (?!) margaritas. - Marisa of Food in Jars discusses the etiquette of returning (or not returning) her beloved vessels — when you give the gift of jam to a friend, is said friend required to bring the jar back? - Apples and Cheese, Please visits the Top Chef tour stop in Philly to check out demos from the "darling petite chef team" of Jamie Lauren and Nikki Cascone.
