This Saturday from 5 to 8, Greensgrow Farms will throw its second annual Whole Hog event at Philadelphia Brewing Co. (2423-39 Amber St.). Meal out on Cuban-style roast pork, grilled salmon, hot cider, and vegan/veg options, all washed down with plenty of PBC's brand-new Harvest from the Hood, a wet-hopped ale brewed using hops sourced right from Greensgrow.
Tix are available for a suggested donation of $50, and proceeds will go directly toward building a community kitchen at St. Michael's Lutheran Church at Trenton and Cumberland. The plan is to create a space that'll serve the community by bolstering small food businesses (a la Philly Kitchen Share) and providing a space for classes/workshops, as well as a home base for Greensgrow's forthcoming low-income CSA program.

After the jump, Erin Mae Szrankowski touches base with Food Network personality Guy Fieri to talk about his Guy Fieri Road Show appearance at the Merriam Theater this Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m.
So how did the idea for this traveling Road Tour originate?
As a chef, one of the greatest things to come out of my restaurant back in California was [doing] demonstrations. I would do these demonstrations and everyone would get a kick out of them, because I like to entertain, I like to laugh, all that. When I got on Food Network, I was there and doing my gig, again. But it�s at such a higher level, with all the other Food Network stars doing TV promotions or big presentations and so forth. I really preferred the style of rock 'n' roll, music and so on.
 |
I was South Beach and I was doing a big demo at the South Beach Food and Wine event � everybody having a good time, everybody was getting wild. Bringing out the margarita machine, with everyone getting a little wilder. Rachael Ray comes on as I leave the stage. As I�m walking off, my agent from L.A. said, "What was that?" I thought I was in trouble, but she said, "Can you do that again?" I said, "Do that again? I could do that times 10." She said, "If you could do that again times 10, I�ll get you a national tour."
So the idea behind the show is everything food. Food and people, food and entertainment, food and laughter, food and music, food and Q&A, food and knowledge, food and tasting. It�s all done with the background of music going on, the rock 'n' roll being played from my big DJ. That�s the energy of it � let�s rock 'n' roll. Let�s have a good time.
There seems to be a huge music and cooking connection here. Are there certain genres of music, bands or songs that put you in the mood to cook or eat certain things?
Absolutely. One of my favorite songs is Motley Crue's �Kick Start My Heart.� A lot of the time, I'll go into the kitchen, start getting ready, getting knives and cutting boards out. Then we'll fire the song up [surprisingly good guitar impression]. When I�m doing Southern food, it�s things like Lynyrd Skynyrd. When I�m doing barbecue and I'm outdoors, it's Sammy Hagar. When I have a bunch of buddies over and we�re rocking out, it�s Metallica. Different food for different times ... it all depends on the energy level and depending on the punky level, how we�re feeling. I got a big digital jukebox that has all of my songs � 200,000 songs and a touch screen. And we just rock the noise.� It�s awesome. Everyone comes over sits on the counter, watches what�s going on and hangs out.
What's up with the bartender at your show?
Yeah, we have a flair bartender named Woody who's coming all the way from Australia. Everything that I do is done at the next level. So when I found this Australian flair bartender that does this wild activity, I figured why not bring him on the tour? He has a knack of throwing cocktails way, way, way into the air and catching them, stacking martini glasses and all kinds of other wild behavior. The guy is so out of control. The only thing we have to watch out for is that he doesn�t destroy the stage so I can come on there later.
How did you decide Philly was going to be a stop on your tour?
My stop in Philly is going to be gangster. One, I love Philly. Two, Philly is a great food spot. Three, people in Philly get food � they really like and appreciate food. There are a lot of reasons why Philly was picked.
At every stop on your tour, you have a local chef prepare a dish for the audience.� I heard that Tony Luke Jr. will be the special guest on Wednesday.
I picked Tony Luke to be the opener because I want to have a local guy who has a really good personality, really good energy. And you know Tony Luke Jr. � come on, everyone in Philly knows Tony. So, he�s gonna come and make a cheesesteak after me, called the Guy Fieri Philly Cheesesteak. I�m dying to eat it.
What kinds of stuff will you be addressing in the "lecture" part of the show?
It�s all incorporated � [not like], "This is the lecture part and this is the cooking part." It all goes together and a lot of it has to do with how the audience gets involved. Everything from stories on the road to stories, people asking their own questions, you name it. There is no way to tell ... there will not be the same show twice.
Anything else you would like our readers to know?
I want them to tailgate before they come. I want them to bring the party to the party. We�re gonna bring out these gigantic 6-foot, 25-gallon margarita machines. We are going to have a party. Bring it, come have fun, enjoy it.
I think his show sounds exciting! It would be a little better though if they did serve cupcakes...
...huh?
Man, am I tired of cupcakes. And Guy Fieri. And hipsters, and Twitter, and Frat Boys, d-bags, Stumptown Coffee, waxing poetic, and all kinds of sh*t. But I love a good pressed sausage. 'narf. Ok, thanks for letting me vent. I'm not sure this even has to do with this post. Hate out.
Whys he on TV? Because the internet is overrun with whiny pseudo foodie hipsters who think they're all food critics and "hate" 99% of everything so he had no place else to go. Now if hes waxed poetic about Stumptown and pressing his own sausage on his rooftop garden while providing Twitter updates then its on!
What a tool. Why is this d-bag on TV? Overgrown frat boy hack.
I love that Guy Fieri added Alaska and Hawaii to the list Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Not sure why he doesn't visit Colorado as I don't see it on the map. We went to Chicago over the New Years and visited all those places. Frosted Mug was closed and the Mac and Cheese at Dell Rheas Chicken Basket was extremely fattening and good!
why doesnt Guy wear a wedding ring?

Not to jinx our dude or anything, but if you caught last night's penultimate episode of The Next Iron Chef on Food Network, you'll agree with us that Jose Garces looks pretty good to win the title of Iron Chef over New York-based pastry supervillain chef Jehangir Mehta. (Sorry we haven't been following the series with the same vim as Top Chef � there are only so many two of us!) We have to admit that Garces, ever the master of downplaying himself, spoke with the slight lilt of a champion when we talked to him back in September, and now we've learned that he's throwing a restaurant-wide viewing party at Distrito for the finale airing this Sunday. Interesting.
More on the Garces/Mehta matchup soon.
ICA or NIC will never have blind judging because they watch the whole thing the whole time.. if u are talking abt a 'throwdown' style judging i doubt that too... the show is slanted to let its house contestants win.. i had a major problem with Melissa DArabian winning over Jeff Saad, but i remember one of the judges kept bringing up the virtue of capturing a demographic like home-moms... i think its fair to say the Latin demography is more important than the smaller indian demography.. thats not race, its just business... you cater to who brings in business.. i just find flay's silence during the judging awkward, it was clear that it was either a 4-2 or 3-3 vote with all 3 ICs voting Garces... what is not fair is that the ICs have equal voice like the judges without history of chefs' other dishes.. this is gonnab one bland show and i hv no respect for Symon... classless comment... good luck to Garces... but ICA has lost me
I find it funny that we have such strong opinions about the contestants and their food when NONE of us have even TASTED a single dish. Considering how many of us have come to such strong conclusions about who the winner should be, it would only be expected that the judges are influenced by factors other than the food. The comment about the judges tasting the dishes without knowing who prepared them was spot on.
@ Jessica: The reason people expected Chef Garces to win the Mexican challenge was because Chef Garces runs a Mexican restaurant! So it�s a shocker that he failed to top there! I concur with you about the fact that a chef�s personal background and his/her culinary inclinations are not co-related. That holds true in case of Chef Mehta too! Chef Mehta specializes in Eclectic cuisine and not in Indian cuisine alone. He has shown that he can tackle different cuisines with equal finesse. The ease with which he adapts to different ingredients shows his depth of knowledge and his experience in different cuisines. The advantage that Chef Mehta has over Chef Garces is his ability to be innovative and creative. A good chef serves good food but a great chef serves good experience. With Chef Mehta it is not only about the food but also about the experience he serves along with it. That is what makes him the best!
[...] a spirited opinion thread popping off on our Nov. 16 post on the show. Now that Garces has sealed the deal, what do you think? Let us know in the [...]
Garces DID beat Bobby in his ICA debut so he has demonstrated some legit chops. Also, let's no forget. This is television...it needs ratings. It's not a college football game or admissions test into Harvard. The Food Network can put whoever they want on the show and under whatever conditions they want to do that. Was Garces pre-selected to win? Who knows... He had to go earn it after however many episodes. Another woman besides Cat or Mehta would have given the Food Network as much demographic pull. I think it is interesting that in a very short time we live in a society that celebrates competition of art, design, food and fashion as much as pro team sports. That's a good thing right?
Wow.. good finish... the dishes all seemed ICA worthy... i did find it wierd that the iron chefs who hadnt experienced either chefs' food had equal say in the final vote... maybe only 2 judges of IC plus 3 regular judges... the Iron chefs were sold on the execution and not creativity and that sealed the deal... imagine if u are mehta, you are kicking yourself over some undone meat and raw fries... bummer.. but garces had his raw cartlidge too.. i do think Garces would be good in ICA.. not sure innovative but surely consistent
The reason all were bitching mehta is because he really is a villain. In some episodes he hide ingredients so other chef could not used. He sabotage other people dishes by taking all the ingredients before they could used it, and he did it to Iron Chef Jose with the grape leaves. Sometimes he used a pot for a long time, so others could not used it. Iron Chef Jose Garces is the Best suited to carry the title Iron Chef. He is not arrogant, he have confidence. He know how to cook, and cares for what is more important "FLAVOR". Not for firework, like Mehta. How could he just give a RAW burger. He is a Chef, he needs to be careful of this. When you cook, what is more important is the flavor and how you handle the ingredients. It was like Iron Chef Symon said before, "are you creative or a failure?"
Response to Jessica:
Whoa, let's not get too Calabrese. As a Latino who is not Mexican, I agree with the spine of your post; your specific conclusions, however, miss the mark. There are no guarantees in life; if one is to guess (and what more is there to being human than to guess), then its not terribly inhuman to guess that a Latino knows more about Mexican food than an Indian, or that a Korean knows more about Japanese food, or a Spaniard more about Portuguese food. It hardly seems necessary to ridicule nathan for making similar assumptions. Furthermore, it's the very nature of this show's producers to play upon those common assumptions, in order to create dramatic tension and surprise; shouldn't you first criticize the show itself for employing such crass social manipulations?Thanks Jessica, that was a classy post...
It has been obvious that Garces would be the next Iron Chef since before the show aired.Any one whom saw his performance and comentary on Iron Chef America would know this. His performance is not the reason why he is to be the next Iron Chef. Along with the Spanish language commercials on the Food Network, the network wants and needs more Latin/Spanish "stars". Obviously is pandering to the Latin population as is the rest of America, the show was decided long before its airing. This from a Cuban guy fed up with all this. Graias..Muchas Gracias
I am sad that Chef Mehtha lost and did not become the next iron chef. Ia still proud of this chef because he is very humble and rarely bitched about other chefs and thier cooking style throughout the competition.I watched the last 2 episodes where the other 2 chefs bitching about chef mehtha's colourful plating sytle for lack of creativity and judging him and those 2 judges sounded arrogant.
Response to Nathan: Are you serious, you just demonstrated to all of us how ignorant you are. Just because a person is hispanic/latino does not mean they are Mexican, Chef Garces is Ecuadorian!! And no, just because you are Latino does not mean you know more about Latino food, it's like saying that a Japanese person is likely to know more about Chinese food than a French person. You are a joke, think before you speak please.
It's a surprise for me why people consider Chef Jehangir Mehta a supervillain of cooking. He is very creative in his dishes. He was beaten by one of the Iron Chef(I think was Bobby) for only a point. Chef Garces looks an arrogant for me and looks ridiculous how he pronunces his name with a gringo accent when he is a first generation of Americans from Ecuadorean parents. Many children of immigrants are proud of their parents culture and language. Or prehaps his parents never teach him Spanish.
I don't know if anyone else noticed that this show was rigged from the beginning. It was so obvious that they were looking for a minority to add a bit of new flavor & coloring (pun) to the existing chefs. And with the growing Latin population, it was inevitable, or should I say so predictable. The others had no chance at all. Most of the Food Network competitions are prejudice. What I'd like to see is "blind-tasting" events, especially with the Iron Chef competitions, and Chopped. It's astonishing that the opponent never wins. So, take away the cameras within the kitchen area & allow the judges to taste the foods without the chefs personal presentations, and let the chips fall where they may. Who's with me, huh?
Well this episode was shot long back and Chef Garces is hosting a 2floor viewing party... they took the suspense out of it.. shudnt it be against the rules or something .. the whole 'suspense' is gone...
Chef Mehta has the Iron Chef potential. Chef Graces is ok and doesnt jump out as far as his food is concern. Graces just play it too safe with familiar food and presentation . Many chef are capable of whipping up dishes but few are able to move beyond to Innovate a dish. Not as a disrespect, the only true iron chef in the Iron chef America line up is Chef Morimoto and grossly underrated and Flay is grossly overrated . I don't remember most of his dishes but Morimoto's dishes and presentation lingers on me. Similarly Graces present existing food with his own flare..not innovating...very forgettable. The truth is Chef Metha create flavorful and dare to be different. Let's admit..who wants another boring flay like chef. ..bring on Morimoto like chef calibrate anytime for me. my vote is to Metha
I absolutly cannot stand Mehta's personality...not to mention his obsessed eyes, Garcia does nothing for me... in all honesty Amanda Freitag should have won..she competed well against Flay when she was on the show. She is an amazing chef.. they really got it wrong this year.. what iron chef needs is new judges and to fire THE MAN WHO EATS EVERYTHING.
Wow.. all this hate for Chef Mehta... hope most of you are aware the TVshows clipped versions of a marathon... anyway the fix is in, they need a latin flavor profile and Garces is the deault ... he has been saying that for weeks on the show and to boot he has a viewing party on the day of final episode... For those who cry abt Mehta getting an upperhand in the Indian challenge, didnt Garces get the upperhand in the Mexican challenge the previous week... and ironically Mehta wins Mexican week and Garces wins Indian week i still dont get the hate... i dont mind either one winning, its clear who has won though...
I think if Mehta wins, he has compromising photos of Alton Brown with a lobster crammed in his ass or something. There's no other way. I feel like Mehta is the Project Runway contestant on the show. His presentations are always over-the-top and quite fierce....but is that really an Iron Chef? He kept using the ice cream machine to prove a point. Marcel tried that ish on TC and look what it got him. 2nd place. Don't try to outsmart/snark the judges. They hate that. Sure Flay is an ass, and Batali is kind of a bag, but all of them are classyish folks that are serious about food. Mehta is not Iron in any way I've seen.
It has been interesting to see the difference between this series and the last. The first had good natured sparring that you see on ICA all the time, but moments where chefs would help each other out. In series 2, it is win at any cost. Lie, hide or steal ingredients / equipment (this is called "strategy"), bad mouth others work - It's all fair in the new world, far away from the Japanese honor code and the shows roots. Of the two remaining, both have become so arrogant that neither man would keep me watching an ICA episode. I have to agree with Pat (although for different reasons), Freitag possessed some honor, and humor, she could cook and I would have liked to see her win.
[...] down to two: New York’s Jehangir Mehta (chef-owner of Graffiti) and Philadelphia-based Jose Garces. We caught up with both finalists via conference call this afternoon; the chefs dished on ethics, [...]
I've been watching next Iron chef since the begin, I'm pleased to see a Latin chef in the final two. Jose Garces is definite Iron Chef material, PS he is cute too!!
Might never forgive you for no recaps of this. :( Okay, I will if Garces wins. Hold your breath.
I have no idea why Jehangir is still there. I was sure so many times he was going to be booted, for his ice cream messes that turned into puddings and shakes, for that vile combination of bizarre take out boxes, but he remains. His energy is so frenetic and scattered that I can't bear to watch him, and certainly will never watch him if by some bizarre twist of the planets, he wins. I like Garces and hope he wins, but I was really pulling for Amanda Freitag. She's been so consistently good. The episode where she was booted totally confused me. The judges had highly negative comments about Jehangir's giant oysters and the overall messiness of Garces' bento box, and Dr. Hattori himself said Freitag's bento box had the best umami. But then she's booted for not having enough umami? I think she was kicked off simply because women cannot stand to see other women succeed, and the two female judges have been especially vile to Freitag right from the beginning. If they'd had male judges, I think Freitag would have a shot at winning.
Could not agree more. Thanks for the heads up on the finale party, I've been dying to dine Garces while watching Garces...he's the MAN! We should be thankful as Philadelphians for his representation!
Mehta was appalling right from the start. Definitely not iron chef material. Garces on the other hand showed solid cooking skills. His victory was well deserved.
Watching on TV I really can't say how each chef's food tastes, we have to leave that to the judges discretion. But, what makes me lean towards Mehta is that atleast he does'nt drop is sweat in the food. I mean for God's sake whats wrong with Garcia..if you look back at the challenge, in every episode he is so sweaty with sweat dripping from his brow...eeew that makes me loose my apetite...

Last Tuesday, we told you about Gravy Wars author Lorraine Ranalli's plan to battle New York-based New Jersey-based writer/chef Johnny DeCarlo in an Italian Market gravy-off. (Y'all shared some choice words in the comments.) Now comes word that the tasting challenge did not have a clear winner. From Ranalli's blog:
Discerning taste buds enjoyed both pots of gravy and meatballs as evidenced by their quick disappearing act. In the end, it�s fair to say that the ''war'' was a draw. Both Johnny DeCarlo and Lorraine Ranalli are entitled to declare victory.
We're still not used to this "New York and Philly being nice to each other" thing. Teach us how?
IF only the WORLD SERIES could've ended in a draw I think NY and Philly would share MORE LOVE! As for the gravy battle draw--it proves taste varies, but I give you both credit for getting your pride and joy out there! :) All the best, Ruth Zavitsanos author of THE VILLA DOG

This Craigslist listing from Friday seems to indicate that Stephen Starr's on the hunt for an exec chef to handle a "new Latin Cuisine Concept." We're curious to see if this has anything to do with the restaurateur's recent acquisition of the Midtown IV at 2013 Chestnut. Will poke around to see what's up.
[...] Monday we noted a job posting for a Latin chef for a forthcoming Stephen Starr project, and guessed that it had something to do with Starr snagging the old Midtown IV diner on Chestnut [...]
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.

Here's your first look at Benny Lai's new Vietnam Caf� (816 S. 47th St.), which'll open to the public this coming Tuesday, Nov. 17. We dropped in as architect Jesse Gardner, the Vietnam owner and general contractor Drew Miller (fourth pic, L-R) were putting the finishing touches on the 180-seat space (formerly Abbraccio), a blown-out version of the humble 22-seat BYO Lai opened just down the block in early 2008. (There are no pressing plans for that space, at 814 S. 47th, just yet, says Lai.) Split up into multiple rooms (some are able to be sealed off for private events), the space is characterized by an abundance of natural light and a number of neat design touches from Lai's homeland, including a decorative mock-up of a bamboo rain-water collector near the bar as you enter.
The menu here will be comparable to the one at Lai's flagship location in Chinatown (221 N. 11th St.), but the major difference here is a spacious bar area, where they'll be serving Vietnam's signature cocktails as soon their liquor license kicks in in about a month's time. There are also plans to introduce a late-night bar menu that'll be available on weekend nights.
Lai tells Meal Ticket he'll be open out here from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily, with plans to extend hours in the coming weeks after they get their feet.
[...] The redone Vietnam Cafe has opened at 816 S 47th Street. Meal Ticket has the pictures to prove it. [Meal Ticket] [...]
Can not wait until the Lai Family opens their NEW West Philly Hot Spot. Place looks awesome from these pictures!!)
Tomorrow marks one year of ownership for Vanessa and Rob Mullen, who took over Chestnut Hill's Campbell's Place (8337 Germantown Ave.) from longtime owner Mary Campbell in 2008. They're celebrating all day Saturday with guest bartenders, drink specials, a free-food drawing and live music from local performer Roger Learnard. Rob, who's worked as a touring chef for a number of bands (most recently U2 on their summer 2009 tour) will be cooking up eats like arctic char with crab risotto lobster sauce, chicken pot pie, PEI mussels in Hoegaarden broth, applewood-smoked bacon and blue cheese.

Stink Fisher, who owns Collingswood's The Pop Shop with wife Connie, is also an actor, and he's appeared in everything from The Sopranos and Tony Luke's The Nail to football flicks like Invincible and The Longest Yard. Sharp-eyed Jen A. Miller caught our dude last night on 30 Rock. He was one of the talking heads on Sports Shouting, an Around the Horn-style show that always beats TGS in ratings, much to Liz Lemon's chagrin. Check out extremely low-tech screenshot above (that's Stink on the top right).
If you mention 30 Rock at The Pop Shop today, you'll get a free soda or iced tea.
Connie tells Meal Ticket that her hubby has quite a few projects coming up, including an appearance on the new USA show White Collar and a part in Peter Jackson's locally shot The Lovely Bones.
