Selleck Waterfall Sandwich is a Tumblr that features photos of Magnum P.I., accompanied by various sandwiches, Photoshopped into idyllic waterfall scenes.

The image above features our very own cheesesteak kicking it in a tropical locale with Mr. Baseball himself. You can tell it's a cheesesteak because it is wearing a Phillies hat.

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich is hands down the greatest Web site we have ever seen and it makes us question why we're even attempting to do this whole blog thing. Way to make us feel like Salieri, jerks.

This past Wednesday, Yards dropped by Hulmeville Inn with some Old Bartholomew as part of the brewery's 10 Days of Barleywine tour. (It wraps up tonight and tomorrow; details/locations in What's Cooking.) Anyways, Yards founder Tom Kehoe bet the Hulmeville crowd that they couldn't kick the Old Bart firkin in under 45 minutes. They kicked it in 31 minutes. And then this happened. Johnny Castle don't got it like this.

Steve Cook, Erin O'Shea and Michael Solomonov, the team behind Percy Street Barbecue, recently took a journey to Texas to pick up their meat smokers and, more importantly, research the BBQ craft for their forthcoming joint at 900 South. Filmmaker Chandler Kaufman has put together a beautiful HD feature on the trip. It's not embeddable just yet, but hop over to Vimeo to check it out.

UPDATE: Video is now embeddable. Check it out after the jump.

[...] Last Friday, we teased a few photos of Percy Street Barbecue (900 South St.), which will open to the public this coming Tuesday, Nov. 17. Today we’ve got a few more shots of the Elisabeth Knapp-designed interior, as well as the opening food, beer and cocktail menus after the jump. Much more on the spot next week; for more right now, peep filmmaker Chandler Kaufman’s feature on the spot. [...]

But when, oh when, will it open? I'm hoping the answer is "before November 12," which is when my Texan friend comes to visit. Can't you guys trick them into giving an estimate?

They're tough nuts to crack! The best I've been able to get so far is the third week in November, so quite possibly right around your Texan's visit.

PhilthyBlog's Conrad is at again, dropping in to Capogiro's 13th Street location (his place of employment outside the blog world) to capture the process behind the Cioccolato Calda con Panna, a super-thick Italian hot chocolate with a side of whipped cream.

This guy is such a joke - he lies, can't act work a you know what, treat women like trash and is just repulsive all the way around.  He'll be sweeping the floors at 7-11 in no time, assuming they will hire him

Team Meal Ticket dropped by the Wachovia Center this past Wednesday to check out Appetite for Awareness: A Gluten-Free Cooking Spree. Organized by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) and sponsored by Thomas Jefferson, the evening featured a slew of local chefs preparing dishes designed specifically for those with celiac disease � one in 133 Americans cannot consume gluten, the protein inherent in wheat, barley and rye products. The purpose of the evening, aside from raising awareness about the disease, was to highlight the fact that local restaurants are ready, willing and able to accommodate celiac diners.

Above, check out our chats with Matthew Levin from Rubb, Marcie Turney from Bindi and Lolita, Eric Paraskevas from terra and Keith M. Taylor from Holy Smoke.

Huge thanks to our very own Neal Santos for the video.

Seriously good! Mike gave us a box of sample goodies (not that I wouldn't have paid) that we ate 'till like 4am. I don't know how he does it.

Freshly returned from the wilds of Chicago and Mercat a la Planxa, new Amada chef de cuisine MacGregor Mann offered to show Team Meal Ticket a few of the restaurant's 11 new menu items. (Check him out in action above.) The plates are the restaurant's biggest menu change to date; you can get them a la carte or try a featured eight on La Mesa de Jose tasting menu ($55) that runs through August.

One of the simplest recipes, a Cordoban gazpacho called salmorejo (above), is featured in our food sidebar this week. But we didn't have enough room in print to include info on the gorgeous garnishes that elevate this soup from fresh and healthy to totally decadent � we're talking diced hiramasa (buttery kingfish), serrano crisps, hard-boiled egg pressed through a chinois, strawberry paint, infant sorrel and black olive dust.

After the jump, try your hand (and blender) at Amada's official recipe just as we received it, including the methods for the salty serrano crisps and fluffy egg garnish.

This Beer Summit feature from Pittsburgh's KDKA (featuring booze podcaster Should I Drink That) is innocuous enough. But skip to the 2:15 mark, when bepearled anchorwoman Mary Robb Jackson announces her personal pick for the one beer to neutralize racial strife � Yards' George Washington Porter, part of its Ales of the Revolution series. She says it's brewed in "Pennsylvania," but doesn't shout out Yards or Philly by name. Aw, c'mon Mary!
