Congrats EF! Meal Ticket is all about marriage these days. Very cute. And, LRP - I've been drinking rioja and belting The Black Keys this whole week. Weeeird. Saturday, finally tried the tacos at El Jarocho (1138 S. 13th), chorizo was great, obv, but the killer was the lengua. Later, drank lots of Root and Maker's (at times, together, with root beer). Last night did an early V-day thang at Bistrot La Minette. Somehow the boyfriend always make better choices than me -- his terrine was amazing. Big fan of the different flavored kir royale over there, tried both the ginger and the peach and it felt a little bit like being in Paris. Drew- Michael Klein recipe please? And the couple next to us at La Minette were talking about how they read about the cassoulet on MT (and then proceeded to order it).

Went to the 943 Agentinian/Italianplace that opened in Italian Market...awesome empanadas, excellent octopus and great food from the grill. Check out pics and more over here http://cephood.blogspot.com/
I spent Saturday afternoon at City Tap House for the Yards Karma Factor 2011 Homebrew competition, where I entered a cask conditioned ESA and drank many beers. The beer was good, but we didn't place. Alls well though and we headed to my neighborhood hangout Kennett Resturant for kale salad, porchetta and margarita pizza and more beer. Started my Italian Market run Sunday morning not like Rocky, but at Sam's Morning Glory Diner where a Gardenkeeper fritta set the world right, as did coffee and the biscuit and homemade jam. Strolled the market where it was still just chilly enough for trash can fires, to get San Roman tortillas, DiBruno fare, some pork, some veggies and some blood oranges.
Checked out Resurrection's brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the fritatta with sweet onions and fresh greens and the super spicy bloody mary (I like 'em like that), but I'm cheap so thought the price tag was a bit steep for future, non-fancy brunches. Me and the Man checked out Tinto for an "Oh shit I forgot to make me a Valentine Day's res, so let's eat out on Sunday" dinner. The duck canapes were insane and I was a huge fan of the sea bass, but the artichokes were just ok and I wasn't really feeling the prawns. Good, but not wowed. Kind of wish we had just gone to the South Philly Taproom.

Grandmom Jo's Pesto
Go Get This: 1 big bunch fresh basil leaves 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup grated Locatelli cheese 1/2 cup raw pignoli nuts 1/4 cup raw almonds Zest of 1/2 a lemon Splash red wine vinegar Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Now Do This: In a food processor or blender, pulse the basil, cheese, nuts, zest and vinegar to combine. Then turn it on low speed, streaming in the olive oil slowly until a loose, green paste forms. Voila! Pesto. (If you prefer a smoother pesto, let the processor rip another minute.) Use immediately, tossed with hot pasta, as a dip for garlic bread or dabbed on fish, or transfer to airtight containers and freeze indefinitely.

Eyal Aranya and Yoni Nadav are in the midst of construction at 326 South â last a clothing shop the partners owned â to accommodate a green/organic burger joint they're calling O Burger. Aranya tells Meal Ticket that O's menu will be very simple â all-organic beef, chicken, turkey, veggie and possibly fish burgers (all on Four Worlds Bakery buns), plus fries, salads and hummus. The space, slated to open in about a month's time, should seat about 50 and will also offer takeout.
Aranya has big plans for the brand in Philly â he adds that he's close to closing on two Center City addresses, near 18th/Chestnut and 16th/Chestnut, to house additional O Burger locations.
