Here is an amazing compilation of Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman's steak-loving, bacon-inhaling, turkey leg-gnawing, whiskey-swilling, vegetable- and hippie-hating character on NBC's amazing Parks & Recreation, and his all-time best food-related moments. Right up there with Tom Haverfoods in terms of incredible edible P&R ephemera.

Check out newly Beard-minted chef Michael Solomonov of Zahav talk about his background on this "Platelist" segment on the ABC Nightly News. Peep him doing his best Turbo and Ozone at the end there, too.
Kenzinger, Philadelphia Brewing Co.'s popular and ubiquitous flagship ale, now has a slick little TV commercial courtesy of local filmmakers Peter Heacock and Woody Pase. The duo, who wrote, directed, shot and edited the spot themselves, rolled camera at various locations around Philly (the bar is Johnny Brenda's) in late March. Look for the ad on television soon. And if that 30 seconds wasn't enough for you, there's also a behind-the-scenes/blooper reel on PBC's YouTube channel.

At the beginning of this year, chef Moon Krapugthong of Manayunk's MangoMoon launched a Chef in Residence program at her Manayunk restaurant (4161 Main St.). The Thai chef/restaurateur has taken it upon herself to invite lesser-known chefs of varying backgrounds to cook in her kitchen, offering a supplemental menu of their own devising to MangoMoon's diners. The inaugural chef in Krapugthong's series is Harry Ige, a native of Okinawa and longtime South Philly resident who's cooked in in New York and Seattle, and locally at Ardmore's Mikado, among other spots.
Chef Ige's menu, which will be available at MangoMoon through the end of January, is his interpretation of traditional Okinawan food, which stands apart from mainstream Japanese cooking due to the influence of the Chinese as well as the unique produce that blossoms on the island. You might assume that raw fish is a staple on Okinawa due to its location at the southern tip of the Japanese archipelago, but the truth is there is no overarching sushi tradition on the island; instead, Ige focuses on vegetable preparations and atypical seafood dishes, from steamed monkfish liver drizzled with ponzu sauce (see the foie-like rounds he's plating in the video?) to marinated salmon with sliced mountain potato and wakame wrapped in a thin sheet of egg.
Krapugthong says her next Chef in Residence, who will start in February, will be bringing Ethiopian ingredients and techniques to the table, so be on the lookout for more info on that soon.
(Special Thanks to CP's own Neal Santos, who shot, edited and produced this vid!)
UPDATE: Here's a selection of items that Chef Ige is currently serving at MangoMoon ...
- Salmon carpaccio: thin-sliced salmon with special MangoMoondDressing
- Ankimo: steamed monkfish liver, spicy radish, ponzu sauce
- Age-nasu no nihitashi: Deep-fried Japanese eggplant cooked in special sauce. Served chilled, topped with ginger chiffonade
- Deep-fried wonton skin: avocado, lettuce, chopped onion, chopped salmon dressed with spicy sauce and sprinkle of Chinese parsley
- Cream cheese wrap with thin-sliced salmon and dressed with MangoMoon special miso dressing and topped with Italian parsley
- MangoMoon Roll: Shrimp tempura, Japanese mayonnaise, boiled asparagus, Lettuce avocado, Broiled eel, Inside out roll with wasabi tobiko outside
- Manayunk Roll: Broiled eel, Cucumber, avocado, Inside out roll and topping with spicy tuna
This is straight up awesome.

Love this video -- so elegant. Both chefs have a wonderfully engaging camera presence, and Chef Ige's food sounds delicious. Monkfish liver is awesome. Well done, Neal!
Wonderful video guys! This is such a great idea for a restaurant and Moon & Ige are awesome! P.S. the cloth on the banquette that Moon is sitting on is beautiful
Our Dec. 6 post revealing the Four Loko tasting menu Adsum chef Matt Levin served this past Monday night has been the most-viewed post here on Meal Ticket for more than a week people really love reading/talking about the Loko! This includes CNN's Eatocracy blog, which put together this video feature on the event. (Shoutout to interviewee Brian, aka The Skinny Fat Kid. He did a two-part recap of the evening.) Both Levin and Adsum owner Kar Vivekananthan have hinted that there might be a Loko stockpile somewhere deep in the bowels of the restaurant. Maybe if you ask nice?

Check this clip of chef Joe Cicala (Adam Erace told you about him here) rocking a smoked potato gnocchi with lamb ragu at Le Virtù (1927 E. Passyunk Ave.). That kitchen smoking technique is smart as hell, need to try that out! Or maybe we'll just leave it to Cicala and the pros, as we can definitely see ourselves burning our kitchen down with tiny hickory chips.
I have lust in my heart for those gnocchi.
CP's own Neal Santos recently put together this video highlighting chef Brinn Sinnott and his dinners based around goodness grown on the rooftop of Noble (2025 Sansom St.). Want in the fun? Co-owner Todd Rodgers checks in with word that there are four seats remaining for August's dinner, scheduled for this Thursday, Aug. 26. The seats can be booked individually or as a group; the dinner is five courses, $55 a head, and cocktail/wine/beer pairing is available for an additional $20. Full menu (verjus-peppermint sorbet? chrared wax beans? nice!) after the jump.

Our favorite is probably "BARRAMUNDI!" Only the Strong is still Mark Dacascos' finest work, though. Saving lives with the power of Brazilian dance fighting, man. (h/t Adam Riff)
Honey!!!!!!
