Team Meal Ticket is in need of a smart, quick, dedicated 21+ food geek in possession of a digital camera, an obsessive attention to detail and a lust to know everything there is to know about the ever-expanding Philadelphia food scene. You will get a chance to create your own regular feature for this blog, as well as interview Philly's most interesting chefs, bartenders, restaurateurs, brewers and food artisans. The position is unpaid, but perks include swanky invites to press events, a chance to accumulate clips for your portfolio, occasional attaboys* from the editor and cold beer(s). Food industry experience is relevant, but not necessary. A background or degree in English, Communications or Journalism makes us smile.
If you want to apply, send the following to drew.lazor@citypaper.net with the subject line "Meal Ticket Internship":
- your résumé (in the body of the email)
- clips, or links to previously published work (relevant to food/drink — no Michael Bublé CD reviews, please; if you don't have any, write some!)
- one SHORT paragraph on why you are our dream intern (this'll serve as a cover letter)
- one SHORT paragraph on your favorite restaurant in Philly
- one SHORT paragraph on your favorite bar in Philly
* Please note that attaboys may be delivered over GChat.

I know that at MidAtlantic they make a specialty cocktail with Root. A delicious one too.
interesting. why did a big spirit company buy such a small set of brands? does Steven get to stay involved or just make the stuff they are going to sell.......? hmm.

psphilly: I'm told Snap will be available in PA state stores starting August 1.

Do Dunkin Donuts around here really have the Strawberry Frosted kind? Used to be very scarce when I was a kid, but oh so good.

Just touched base with chef Mike Stollenwerk of fish to talk a bit about his upcoming project, Fathom Seafood Bar, which is up for a fall opening.
At roughly 1,000 square feet, Fathom — at 200 E. Girard, the corner of the Avenue and Shackamaxon — won't be huge; all the better to place the focus on a 22- to 24-seat bar, plus some picnic table-inspired high-tops that'll accommodate an additional 20. (Outdoor seating for 40 to 50 eventually.)
The food and drink will be down-market compared to Stollenwerk's excellent sit-down fish — picture a bar menu of 10 to 12 items, plus sides. He'll do stuff like lobster grilled cheese, crab fritters, coconut curry mussels, smoked-fish pierogies, and classic raw bar eats (oysters, clams, shrimp cocktail, marinated mussels) priced by the piece/ounce, allowing guests to mix/match their own platters. Stollenwerk plans on stocking his draft tower with lighter beers — think French white ales and the like — to complement the seafood-heavy menu. You won't see a lot of meat — "If you want a burger, there's 18 places within a block to get one," he says. The chef also wants to do Monday crab nights (pair the hard-shells up with a large pounder selection) and a kegs 'n' eggs brunch on Sunday mornings.
The deal for Fathom happened way fast. "I've always wanted to do a killer raw bar," Stollenwerk says. "I was at Kraftwork one night when they first opened, and thought [Fishtown] might be a great neighborhood for it. It was Monday at 11 at night, and Fishtown was buzzing, people walking around everywhere." He came back, saw that Fathom's space was for rent (it was formerly an art gallery), and signed a lease the next day.

Aw, so sad! Really nice place.
That sucks--it was on my list of restaurants to try this summer.
Bummer! This place was lovely.
This was one of our favorites. I hope she comes back soon with something equally great.

Police have confirmed the identity of a female found dead this morning on the 1200 block of Fourth Street in Northern Liberties, and it's tragic news for the local restaurant community. The Inquirer reports that Sabina Rose O'Donnell, an apparent victim of foul play, was discovered this morning. P.Y.T. owner Tommy Up confirms that O'Donnell was an employee; he is closing his Piazza restaurant this evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with O'Donnell's family, friends and coworkers.
Closed for good? My thoughts are with the employee, her family, and the rest of the restaurant staff.
She was the darling of the Philadelphia Nightlife scene. She is loved and will never be forgotten. I only wish I had gotten to know her better. RIP

This sounds so fucking awesome.
So in. I love how each item is appropriate to the chef or his modus operandi .... like charcuterie master Andrew Wood in on hot dogs, and Mike Solo turning pizza out of his wood-burning oven instead of laffa. These thing are always so freaking worth it.

I deserve that. I'm very ashamed.

Two thoughts: 1. Montreal bagels would be a good get for Philly. 2. JG Domestic sounds like a bad beer from Anheuser-Busch, as in "Woman, git me a JG Domestic before you polish my huntin boots." that is all.
Re: stuff from Canada you'll actually like - I wish for chip trucks that serve primarily french fries, sausages and poutine - already have the Flyers
