UPDATE [03jan10]: Here's the full photo tour of The Dandelion's now-completed interior. Quasi-crashed a staff beer tasting at The Dandelion, Stephen Starr's English-minded pub at 18th and Sansom, and snagged a handful of pics of the still-very-much-under-construction interior.

Hey Dan, it was a beer tasting, with 30+ staffers taking small sips of close to 20 different beers, discussing them, etc. While I'll be the first to champion the proper glassware for the proper beers, I think the use of plastic cups for such a venture is understandable.
Hi Drew, thanks for the response. I did think about that. I imagine it may have been tough to rinse out real glasses? If anyone could afford it I would imagine Starr could. I do wonder how much plastic cups affect the taste of any beverage. I'm actually not a huge "proper" glass freak although at least aesthetically the proper glass is nice. But I DO get a plastic funk smell when I drink out of solos. I also wonder about a beer tasting which includes pretty readily available beers like this, but I imagine you have to educate staff somehow.
To me, this place has 9+ dollar beers written all over it. Don't get me wrong I bet the food will be good, the environment nice and the beer selection decent, but I can get all that and not get racked over the proverbial coals elsewhere. I hope I'm wrong b/c otherwise this looks like it could be a swell time. Oh, and I agree, who drinks Triple Karmeliet out of solos?
Solo cups, I have the same ones .....WHHOOOAAAAh
looks like the inside of the last drop coffee house, but nice... ricky ross---- da bauuusss! aka ricky rozay im OUT!

I ate here last night. Three roll special is a great deal and the sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious. The guys who work there are all very sweet, too. Next time I have more than $10 in my pocket I might splurge on some appetizers.
I'm curious about those cheesesteaks...

A ways off, but good news for time-strapped Graduate Hospital denizens Matt Levinson, a hospitality/hotel management vet (he opened The Borgata), is working on a low-price, low-stress takeout for 1511 South Street called The Quick Fixx. The concept: Built-to-order salads, pasta dishes and French bread pizzas ("The food that I know I'm always looking for," says Levinson), all prepared fresh in under 10 minutes, and all under $10. It'll be a hub for both takeout and delivery, and Levinson says The Quick Fixx will also feature a DVD rental kiosk. Expect a mid-March or early April opening. Ooh, maybe Tron: Legacy will be out on Blu-Ray by then! UPDATE: Forgot to mention earlier Levinson is hunting for a good exec chef for the Fixx. If you're interested in applying, contact him at mattylevinson@aol.com.

two of my favorite dishes there - the portuguese sausage and clams and the lemongrass eggplant and scallop hot pot. Both incredible. Used to eat there all the time...not sure why I haven't been there in a while.
A fair question indeed! The soup itself was killer. The crab was already dead so cannot speak to his fighting abilities.
The soup was great and so was the salt baked squid!
So was the soup killer... or the crab?
Tai Lake...mixed it up with Ting Wong next door
I'll take that, Mat! It's Tai Lake right off 10th and Race. Best Chinese seafood spot around. A friend of my mom's, who is Chinese, once tried to recommend a Philly Chinatown restaurant to me, and his only descriptor was "it has fishtanks in the front." While that describes like 6,000 places in Chinatown, I'm fairly certain this was what he meant.
Forget the name, think it's called Ting Lake in China Town on 10th Street
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?

Okay!!! I have been waiting years for N'duja to make its stateside mainstream debut! I cant tell you how many bottles iv had confiscated at the airport as if they were uncut columbian cocaine, or a Nigerian toner cartridge. Thank you for writing this and thanks to Southwark for doing it!
[...] Spicy, spreadable salami, so good peep the n’duja at Southwark. [...]
looks dellishh felishh!! rauuuuuuuusss! IMOUT!!!
I kinda need to eat this. I think, partly, I want it so much because it half reminds me of the mortadella mousse (which, similarly, I've referred to as meaty toothpaste) at Amis. Greatness.
I am delighted that old time Calabrese tradition has arrived at Southwark. This delight as presented by Nicola Macri' looks absolutely scrumptuous. The pork spread infused by special condiments and a hint of peperoncino can only embrace the palate sending a unique sensation to the taste buds. A glass of pinot grigio red or a savigion cabernet would compliment this dish. Congratulations to the chef.
