Today: Twice, fried chicken

Today, crispy skin-craving friends, you have the opportunity to eat two very good and very different renditions of fried chicken at two very good and very different places, separated by just a few blocks. For lunch, stop by frequent Meal Ticket haunt Mémé (2201 Spruce St.) for David Katz's once-a-week lunch — $11 gets you a drumstick, a thigh, a flakyflaky biscuit, a side of special dipping sauce and a drink (iced tea, lemonade or High Life — get the High Life, duh). For dinner, pop into Meritage (500 S. 20th St.), where chef Anne Coll just launched her Thursday Korean fried chicken night. Pony up 25 bones are you'll get chicken and sides (plus a big can of Sapporo) for two.

Drew Lazor must not know much about beer
Duh I would get the lemonade
Here are some comments from ratebeer website on High Life

"Warning: Must drink ice-cold to distinguish from urine."
"The aroma is of dirty burnt toast, with corn and cardboard. The flavor is of corn syrup and sugar"
"Aroma of corn, metallic, and chlorine (swimming pool). Flavor of cereal, corn, and chlorine with a watery mouthfeel."
"Smells like a pool with metal sides that a sweaty soccer player just took a dip into. Tastes...slightly better than that. Only slightly."

It's amazing to me that great chefs and restaurants continue (in the best drinking city in America) to offer shitty macrobrew beers
They use great local ingredients, high quality meats and seafood, great wine lists, stellar cocktail programs, great decor and service and then they roll out shitty beers with adjunct and cheap as dirt ingredients. It makes no logical sense. I realize that this has become the alternative to PBR for many ( i didn't say that word that rhymes with dipster) but it might be the worst beer i have ever had in my life
Another example of following the herd mentality, and how effectively big  beer marketing and advertising is.
