First Person Arts has been gathering the family recipes of area foodies for their Edible World blog series, and today's post features our girl Felicia D. Check out the site to read her family's version of Boilo, the antracite coal-miner's cure for everything. FD says it's "akin to a hot toddy on steroids." Just what the doctor ordered.

Everyone has a story to tell, and for foodies, those stories spin on edible axes. This food-centric world takes the main stage when First Person Arts hosts Sunday Supper and Family Lore at Bridget Foy's (200 South St.) next Sunday, April 11, from 6 to 9 p.m.. As part of the Edible World series' home-cooking experiment, Sunday Supper will feature Suzan Colón, author of Cherries in Winter, for a night of story-telling and a family-style feast featuring Colón's family recipes.
"Through her story, Colón learned of her family's history, struggle and resilence," Karina Kacala of FPA tells Meal Ticket. "In the past, we focused on area restaurants, but this portion of the Edible World series celebrates the story of home kitchens and family tradition." Check out FPA's blog to read how Rick Nichols (Philadelphia Inquirer) adopted the recipes of his wife's Slovak/Hungarian-Roumanian family as his own. and keep an eye out for a contribution from Meal Ticket's very own Felicia D next week.
Tickets are $30 for members, $35 for non-members and can be purchased here. Submit a recipe and 250-word story to Kacala (kkacala[at]firstpersonarts.org) by today, April 2, and you could be awarded air time at the event (you must pay admission to be eligible) and have your story featured on Colón's blog.
Menu after the jump.
Course 1: Split pea soup with grilled ham and frizzled leeks
Course 2: Cadillac meatloaf with bacon, mashed potatoes and asparagus with crimini mushroom gravy
Course 3: Apple cake with spiced pecans and nutmeg whipped cream
Vegetarian options: tomato fennel soup, eggplant napoleon with provolone, broccoli rabe and roasted peppers with marinara sauce
Complimentary glass of wine with dinner

Twice a year, Meal Ticket leaps from the Web to the print edition of City Paper for a little extra-curricular romp. Our Meal Ticket Spring '10 supplement hits newsstands today, lovingly coddled within the regular Food & Restaurants section.
Find inside Team Meal Ticket's exhaustive exploration of regionally delicious non-Neapolitan pizza; those local pies that aren't Tacconelli's, Osteria, Zavino or Stella. We've got the inside info on vegan pies made by vegan Sicilians, the secret of Greek pizzerias and the American cheese-coated mystery that is Pizazz.
Concocted from proprietary blends of botanicals, bitters are the comeback kid of the new cocktail culture. Now five local bartenders are getting back to the roots of the historical cure-all by making their own custom infusions. Their bespoke bitters range from the aromatic tincture of kaffir lime and curry leaves for Phoebe Esmon's Madras version to Poppy Brewster's tobacco-hit iteration inspired by the cigars of Havana at Alma de Cuba.
pizazzzzzz! i can at least blame it for 5 pounds of childhood chunk. I don't hate you for it though, Celebre's.

Meal Ticket's own Felicia D'Ambrosio debuts some brand-new real estate in the print edition of this week's City Paper. Titled Spirit Sister, the bimonthly column will tackle the bar, beer and cocktail scene here in Philly. "Spirit Sister delves into the people and places that provide us with magical elixirs, soporific drams and other temptingly toxic potions," says Flea of her plan of attack. Her first installment, which'll be online a little later this evening, deals with Ladder 15 rejiggering its entire concept after the arrival of chef David Ansill. Check out Flea's previous coverage of the bar here on Meal Ticket.
Sounds like an overdue glimpse of the goings-on with most important people and places on earth: bartenders and bars.

Well isn't this nice? Philadelphia Weekly doffed its alterna-cap to Meal Ticket's very own Felicia D. in its new "Better Than the Best" awards package, which honors things that are THE BEST!
Best Person to Talk to When Entertaining the Idea Of Becoming a Beer Expert In Your Next Life:
Here at PW we have no problem giving credit where it's due. That said, City Paper's food blog Meal Ticket helps us with our daily dose of procrastination, as it's a must read for anyone hoping to get the scoop on restaurant openings, specials and foodie news. Felicia D'Ambrosio is half of the stellar team over at Meal Ticket, and she really knows her stuff. A long-time bartender at beer mecca Belgian Cafe, she is like a walking, talking encyclopedia of brew knowledge, and can spout off a hundred different facts about the suds you're sipping like she's some sort of spooky reincarnation of Michael Jackson. (The beer writer, not the King of Pop.) Next time you want to know more about your vice, pop in at Belgian and have her pour you a pint.
Yeah, Felicia! Well deserved and very appropriate.
Something we always knew. Congrats, Felicia!!!
Though perhaps better known as the gritty-glam late-night hangout for restaurant industry folk, the Pen & Pencil Club (1522 Latimer St.) has been a members-only club for journalists since 1892, making it the oldest continuously operating press club in America and the second oldest in the world. Full members, who must be working press, will have a chance to learn about the current state of instant food journalism when Philadelphia Magazine food editor Ashley Primis hosts Foodies, Chefs & The Blogosphere at 7:30 p.m. on Wed., March 3.
The panel discussion, part of the P&P's Off The Record event series, will include chef Michael Schulson of Sampan and Izakaya at the Borgata in Atlantic City, third-generation restaurateur Sam Mink of Oyster House, Foobooz blogger Art Etchells, Fries With That Shake blogmistress Jess Ward and our own Meal Ticket/City Paper food and restaurants editor, Drew Lazor.
