This is one creamy vegan.
Mac & Cheese Review

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

- Taylor of Mac & Cheese Review made a lucky someone coconut truffles. Substituting coconut milk for heavy cream keeps these snowy babies easy, rich and vegan. Now there are three words you don't often see applied to one subject.  

- Matt Levin has found a home for his new restaurant, reports Michael Klein on The Insider. 201 Green St. will be home to Masano, a name Levin conjured from the first letters of his name and his sons' (Sam and Noah). Expect progressive cuisine at a much lower price point that what Levin was working at Lacroix.

- Joe Sixpack is pleased with the venue for Philly Beer Week's Opening Tap kickoff event, the lobby of the Comcast Center. Last year, Mayor Mike Nutter initiated the first-ever Beer Week by knocking the bung in the first cask in a gratifying spray of foam. Wonder who will wield this year's ceremonial Keg Hammer of Glory?

- UWISHUNU previews a Valentine's Day tasting of aphrodisiac foods at Foster's Homewares. Sweethearts can try out the boner-inducing properties of avocados, shrimp, exotic spices, ginger and chocolate at the City Food Tours event. If those don't work, there are plenty of bars in Old City.

- Phoodie.info rehashes a story in the Daily Pennsylvanian about UPenn pulling all peanut butter from its Ivy-covered halls. Administration is intent on keeping students safe from salmonella, even if it means the freshman have to go without Reese's Cups for breakfast
