Sounds like it'll be a great shop. One Village Coffee is the best!
Can't wait to try Edna's bacon brownies and her amazing berry muffins again. She's my baking hero! Congratulations Edna and Mike!!
Chhaya Café is the name of the biz taking over what was Le Petite Croissant at 1823 E. Passyunk Avenue. During the week, they'll operate as a coffee house, serving sandwiches, salads, fresh-baked bready fare and some unique waffle preparations spicy cornbread, a pulled pork-topped option and black-and-white marble cake waffles are just three examples. On weekends, owner Brett Shangold says they'll serve Saturday and Sunday brunch, working off a menu that'll feature their waffles in addition to other brunch dishes. Friday and Saturday nights, they'll do cichetti for dinner that's the Venetian small-plate service we first caught wind of this past winter thanks to Andrea Luca Rossi of Rittenhouse's Cichetteria 19. No solid opening date just yet but we'll update here as we learn more. UPDATE [13july10]: Chhaya hopes to open its doors in the first week of August, according to Shangold.

The University City District unveiled a tasty way to render lame dollar stores obsolete last month with its Dollar Stroll. It was a huge hit, and tonight it's coming back for round two. Fifteen participating merchants along Baltimore Avenue are offering $1 specials; check out injera snacks at Dahlak, coffee at Gold Standard, bite-size vegan sandwiches at Green Line and slices of pizza at Dock Street. Baltimore Avenue between 43th and 50th streets, universitycity.org.The promo, which kicks off right about now and runs till 8:30 p.m., features one-dollar deals from 15 different businesses and many of them are edible. Here's the full list of participants.

Mark Mebus, a vegan chef who's worked for Horizons in Philly as well as Blossom in NYC, will open Blackbird, an all-vegan pizza shop operation, in the former Gianna's Grille at 507 S. Sixth Street. Mebus, who's been vegan himself for a dozen years, says the concept will be "more involved than a hoagie shop," but still very "pedestrian friendly," meaning it'll be no thing to pop in off the sidewalk for a Daiya cheese-laden slice of pie. He's putting together a menu of specialty vegan pizzas, plus salads and sandwiches (a tofu situation, plus a seitan/mushroom cheesesteak variation, are currently in the works). He'll place a big emphasis on high-quality ingredients, going organic whenever possible. Mebus hopes to have Blackbird open in the next two to three months.
Dang you can't escape pushy sales reps. Even on the Internet these rats don't quit.
Congratulations Mark! We're very happy for you. and are looking forward to enjoying your culinary artistry at the restaurant. You have worked very hard to get this going - hope it's enjoyed by many.
This is fantastic news, I cannot wait for it to open!!

Mebus! Congratulations man! Another reason to come back to Philly soon!
I'll be there!! The seitan/cheeseteak sounds sooo good!!
sweet. an ACTUAL vegan pizza place. something gianna's never was.
so giannas is no longer? is it all the same stuff or just a new owner, new name and just pizza but all vegan now?
GREAT!!! Philly needs this and you just MADE this vegetarians day!!!!
It's good to have Mebus back in town. Everyone who knows him, knows him for his true dedication to the vegan lifestyle, and his hard work ethic. This restaurant will be a fantastic addition to the city!
Congrats Mark!! GL and see you at your new spot!
Wait, seriously, Gianna's is gone? Anyone know any details about this?
Wow. I'm moving back to Philly.
Wow!! An all vegan casual restaurant, exactly what we need. Sorry to hear that Gianna's is gone, but looking forward to this new venture.
"Vegan blood." What a horrible phrase to associate with a restaurant. Hopefully the food choices will be better since a casual vegan restaurant will be a great at addition to the neighborhood. Good luck.
Cheers to Mark Mebus! Can't wait to try more of your great vegan foods - I hope there may be at least 1 great locavore option too. Best luck!
I think it was a joke, maybe not a very funny one but a joke anyway. Way to uphold the humorless miserable vegan stereotype! (PS I'm vegan too)

This guy is really talented. I heard him talking about wanting to do this a year or so ago on tghe stoop in Brooklyn. Im really happy that it came true for him. I cant wait to eat at Blackbird. I just wish it was in NYC!!!

Hi Mark I believe I met your parents at a food demo I was doing in north wales or another whole foods and they told me about your new location. Please to meet you. I make a deliver seitan to the area and would be happy to get involved with your cooking ventures. You can contact me if you would like to or I will look for your opening. I deliver to the south street area on wednesdays. Good luck and glad to hear of another veg place coming. Sincerly Michael C TEMPL FOODS
Gianna's sucked a dog's dick. They were inconsistent and I, as well as a few friends got food poisoning from there. I'm glad their dickhole staff is gone as well (hopefully?) and that new management is making this 100% vegan. Fuck you Gianna's.

Taconelli's?
Looks like Tacconelli's to me :)
Nice eye, Teenie! This is indeed the venerable Tacconelli's in Port Richmond. A group of eight of us split seven pies...needless to say, I'm feeling slightly doughed out today...
Yes, Tacconelli's! It was brilliant.
I think you were sitting behind us. We were the birthday party with the cake.
Hey Pete! Yeah we sang happy birthday for your birthday girl correct? Seemed like you were having a great time. I can't believe the amount of pizza our table put away...
We put away 10 pies for 11 people. Food is too good. Stoked you all enjoyed the cake from Stock's.
Nice! We did a similar pizza-to-person ratio 7 pies for 8 heads. Oof! Stock's rules. Give me trans fats or give me death (kind of the same thing)

Center City please, followed by NoLibs & South Philly... their burritos are fantastic as are their wide selection of hot sauces in-store.
The beef was still mooing in the taco. The Adobe Cafe still rules here in Manayunk. They serve real Mexican food not buffet style dorm food

What? No mention of the tuna?
We ate it before we could take pics... :D
Makes sense. Love that tuna.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Untossed, Meal Ticket. Meal Ticket said: So @mpsteel turned us on to hoagies from Dino's in Margate City. Can you recommend other Jersey Shore sandwich spots? http://bit.ly/bZiFEh [...]
White House isn't as good as people say it is. Sack of Subs in delicious! You should also try the Presto sandwich at Salvo in Longport
I was always a fan of White House tuna... not sure how it compares to Dino's, but it has the same "Already Eaten Before You Even Realize It" effect.
McGowan's in Sea Isle City. Long waits but you can snack on chips in the meantime or call ahead. Breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. It's got that grease-truck gusto without the health code violations.
I second McGowan's. Also, Russo's Market in North Wildwood never disappoints. You'd also benefit from calling ahead here.
Get a cheesesteak from Voltaco's in Ocean City. I've heard many say it's better than any you can find in Philly, and I might have to agree.
Voltaco's is supreme!!!
Definitely check out McGowan's in Sea Isle and Ocean Deli in Avalon- get the Chicken Cheesesteak- I know what you're thinking, but trust me.
barrel's of margate (the take-out side) has great sandwiches. i always go for the chicken cutlet with varying toppings. a great deal, as well, because you get about the same amount of chicken as the entree version.
Phat Steaks in Northfield. Really great cheesesteaks and sandwiches. The barnyard is the best. Steak, chicken and bacon with pepperjack cheese and some sauce ( maybe ranch ) on an ac roll. Bangin
Voltaco's Italian Foods in Ocean City, NJ makes some seriously epic hoagies and cheesesteaks -- all on Atlantic City Bakery bread. http://www.yelp.com/biz/voltacos-italian-foods-ocean-city#hrid:nX7_74LVd4rM0uxhDrt0PQ
Wow, Meal Ticket readers are the sharpest food people on the Internet...thanks y'all!
