Yesterday, Meal Ticket dropped by a staff tasting at Adsum (Fifth and Bainbridge), the "refined neighborhood bistro" from Kar Vivekananthan and chef Matthew Levin, to snag a few pics. Vivekananthan, founder of comm-systems firm OhmComm, will officially open the restaurant (we first mentioned it in March) this coming Wednesday, July 14. Adsum (translates to "I am here" from the original Latin), is academically inclined — the wall behind the bar is cleverly stocked with library books and scientific glassware (beakers will double as wine carafes), and the dining-room tables were bio-class perches in a former life. Lots of dark wood and distressed glass. Preston Eckman, formerly of APO, is in charge of the bar; here's a partial peek at his cocktail list. Levin's menu, which you can peep in full after the jump, features some shades of Levin's Lacroix days — his signature foie gras/sour cherry combo shows up here, as do his flavor-burst celery-root cubes and some snackish dishes the chef developed for the restaurant's Bar 210 during his tenure — but for the most part Adsum skews new, with progressive grub that's got that on-paper appeal (fried oysters with pickle juice remoulade! barbecue pork belly with pepperoni!) and is priced right for the 'hood (top large plate is $21). Highlights include Levin's fried chicken with collards; crispy-skinned Copper River salmon with golden and red beets; whole dorade, a steal at $20, with tomatoes, puffed wild rice and an avocado/jalapeno purée; potato pierogies topped with caramelized onions and a buttermilk dressing; and the decadent, sure-to-be-a-hit foie gras poutine with foie-infused beef gravy and duck fat fries. Hours: Mon.-Fri., 3 p.m.-2 a.m.; Sat.-Sun., 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Food will be served till 1 a.m. nightly. FIRST Foie gras poutine $15 Duck fat fries, cheese powder $8 Sautéed foie gras, sour cherries, pistachio $19 Warm goat cheese salad, beets, walnut textures $11 Fried oysters, pickle juice remoulade $12 Grilled rock octopus, black pepper caramel $12 Bone marrow, onion marmalade $10 Snails, hazelnuts, parsley crumble, toast $11 Tater tots, whiskey, bacon, green goddess $8 Salt and vinegar chicharron $6 Kool-Aid-pickled watermleon $3 Aged gouda, garlic dulce, olive, monkey bread $8 Rogue river blue, black figs, smoked balsamic, peanuts $9 Matthew's salad $8 Bibb lettuce, cashews, pears, honey black $10 MAIN Lamb cannon, merguez, chickpeas, lentils $22 Fried chicken, collards, ham hocks, hot sauce $18 KFC sweetbreads, peas, risotto, mustard $21 Wild salmon, beet relish, horseradish whip $19 Skate, fried broccoli, Lillet-stewed apricots $17 Pork belly, pepperoni, black beans, PBR BBQ $18 Adsum burger: farmhouse cheddar, pancetta-onion fondue, duck fat fries $12 Foie gras burger, warm challah, beer-comte sauce, duck fat fries $21 Short ribs, bouchet mussels, brown butter Worcestershire $22 Whole fish, shrimp salt, popped wild rice, green sauce $20 Warm celery root cubes, pistachio, cured salmon roe $15 Homemade pierogies, burnt onions, thyme, smoked buttermilk $16

Loving Hut, an international vegan restaurant brand that has a presence in 11 U.S. states (and 18 other countries around the world), opened an outpost in Philly (742 South St., 215-454-2898) this past Tuesday. The awesomely named chain is relatively new to the tri-state (there are Jersey and NYC locations). Every Loving Hut serves a slightly different menu based around the goods of local purveyors/suppliers, but this one specializes in vegan sushi, spring and summer rolls, vegan burgers and wraps, and bubble teas, smoothies and shakes. Hours are still being worked out, but they typically open between 10 and 11 in the morning and serve till around 11 p.m.

I tried this place last week and it was the strangest place I've ever been. Four people working, no one knew what they were doing. The people behind the counter spoke only broken English and were completely incapable of describing anything on the menu. The place looked much like the business that had been there previously and resembled a chain in no way whatsoever. I understand they've just been there for a few days, but they seem like they really need to get their act together if they hope to survive.

Am I the only vegan out there that doesn't go gaga for this restaurant?  The food is always painfully boring and bland, and menu selections are limited.  The new age cult weirdness behind this restaurant (and playing on the TV's and forced down my throat by the employees, btw) doesn't help.  The stuff Loving Huts serve is the sort of thing vegans of the 1970's were *forced* to eat because they were without the wealth of recipes from inventive chefs and the readily available melange of grains, vegetables, fruits, and spices that we enjoy today.  Let's not go back to that era.  Sometimes simple food is good, but simple doesn't need to taste like grass and not much else.

Hi Jean see my comment to steve on the review page. We need better food everywhere I agree. If I wasn;t into full time production with my seitan I would open a place and show off some real cooking skills. I do food demos at the whole foods stores and a place called greensgrow farms in kensington. Ive been inviting other vendors there and I have rachels pantry coming and a guy named sanee who does great vegan and raw foods. He is called herbs greenhouse he is a non profit trying to launch his foods as well. We all need a push for help in this field. Have a great summer peace and out Michael C templ foods     PS My product is michaels savory seitan    my seitan is very different tasting than the other competitors I hand rub my seasonings into each and every batch. I am availabe in the whole foods stores and other locations around the city.

hi steve do you think this place could use seitan? i make and deliver the michaels savory seitan available in some locations around the city. Have you tried the p.o.p.e on passyunk ave or have you been to monks cafe on 16th? i do not know what they make at monks. The adobe cafe and a place called las cazuelas does a great job on the seitan. Las cazuelas is on girard near 4th and the adobe has 2 locations one on passyunk and the other on mitchell street in manyunk. I was just reading about this love hut place, sounds like they need help with cooking and alot of chains are what they are. chains. No real soul going into the food. thanks michael c

Been to like three of these before.  Agree that the food was always boring and not worth the time, but since they sometimes have them in strange places like a Mall food court, I've been more often than it probably deserves, especially since I'm not even vegan.

Also, Michael C, thanks for the recommendation of Adobe.  Definitely going to check that out.

In the past week or so, the entire Internet has turned into one giant wankfest for the iPhone 4G, with thousands upon thousands of Apple minions publicly pleasuring themselves to Steve Jobs' latest overpriced call-dropping platform Fruit Ninja console phone. (Today's the day that many pre-ordered 4Gs are arriving.) The most common way in which people tend to show off the unique, one-of-a-kind device that six million Japanese toddlers have been using since 2004 is via an "unboxing," a photo essay or video clip during which a consumer pornographically pulls out removes each component of a new gadget to make sure everyone knows how cool and smart and special they are for spending money. Meal Ticket says screw Jobs and screw the 4G. Let's unbox something that everyone can appreciate: A PIZZA!

Last night, we ordered a half pepperoni/onion and half plain pie from La Rosa, the excellent square pizza maker at Broad and Snyder. (We know their potato pizza is the truth, but decided to switch it since that's what we got last time.) We "unboxed" it, ate it, thoroughly enjoyed it and are now very proud to share our photos with you. Have fun, and remember: Even with the addition of garlic salt and crushed red pepper flakes, iPhones still taste like crap.

I am obsessing on that potato pizza - wanted to see if they had any similar tricks up their sleeve or any variations on the theme.  I'm thinking sausage atop the potato.

Drew, their pizza looks to be thin like Santucci Bros.  I am not a fan of the big thick and doughy Sicilian style pizza.  Can you confirm this square pie is on the thinner side?  It looks legit.

Chefs need to get away sometimes, too. But that necessarily doesn't mean they take a break from cooking.

Last weekend we were invited to stay a gratis night at Skytop Lodge, an old-school Poconos resort a little over two hours away from Philly. The occasion? The resort's Philly Chef's Weekend, featuring David Katz of Mémé, Michael Solomonov of Zahav and Peter Woolsey of Bistrot La Minette. Skytop and its executive chef, Stevan Sundberg, have run this three-day event — during which Philly-based chefs do cooking demos, run a cocktail reception and add dishes onto the resort's regular dinner menu — for some time now. It provided an opportunity for this tight threesome, all of whom own the restaurants where they cook, to get the hell out of Dodge for a few days, as well as to promote their respective spots to an out-of-town crowd. When we told people we were headed to Skytop, we were met with two distinct schools of referential description: "That place is totally Dirty Dancing!" and "That place is totally The Shining!" We weren't sure how we felt about either — this is a mini-vacation, I don't need the tough-but-fair Dr. Houseman harshing my buzz, bro — but were relieved to discover it's a damn fine place. Open since the 1920s, the 2,500-acre resort has its own golf course, pools, biking/hiking trails and lakefront, plus the proper amenities for unorthodox activities such as lawn bowling and clay pigeon blasting. (For what it's worth, Katz is kinda ill with the double-barrel shotgun. Keep it in mind, Yelpers!) It was hot as hell, but we still adhered to the old-school jackets-required policy for dinner, which kicked off with an outdoor cocktail reception — Katz, Solo and Woolsey each prepared little finger foods (goat cheese/balsamic/watermelon bites, spiced lamb tartare and chive-studded salmon rillettes, respectively) for the occasion and chatted up resort guests about their restaurants. Then it was onto dinner, during which the Skytop kitchen staff plated up additions to the menu designed by the trio — Solo put together a clever toad in the hole situation with shrimp and morel mushrooms; Woolsey served seared scallops over a classic, straight-ahead piperade; and Katz went old-school with it, with a filet entrée accompanied by green beans, fried oysters and a twice-baked potato. In between spending QT with their wives and kids, watching World Cup, catching drinks and debating hypothetical bigwig chef death matches ("Boulud or Ducasse?"), Katz, Solo and Woolsey all expressed that the were amped to get out of their kitchens for a spell — it's events like this, and the upcoming Zahav Jersey Shore dinner that all three are participating in, that provide a low-key respite from the fire and knives that tend to populate their every waking professional moment. This became especially clear during our exit caravan from Skytop, which involved us getting kind of lost (totally our fault) making pitstops at a Polish grocery store and a kitsch-as-hell barbecue spot. The crew loaded up on candy and pastries and various meat products, tore it all apart with the quickness and provided pointed opinions about everything, mouths full all the while. Chefs — they're just like us.

Nana Petrillo's, the Capogiro gelato and coffee shop we first told you about in mid-May, just opened in The Piazza a few hours back. (It's so new that owner Joe Cleary had to turn away several walk-ins when we stopped by — he was waiting for his refrigeration system to get down to optimal freezing temperature. Should be good now.) The shop, which has a standing rail on the inside but no interior seating (there are outdoor tables), will offer between 18 and 36 seasonally rotating Capogiro gelatos at any given time, plus Café Excellence coffee, which is roasted up in Norristown. The artwork on the inside was done by Cleary's buddy TJ Reddick. Hours: Mon.-Wed., 7 a.m.-10 p.m.; Thu.-Fri., 7 a.m.-mid; Sat.-Sun., 9 a.m.-mid.

Philly Beer Week forefather Bruce Nichols, who's run Museum Catering for the past 20 years, officially opened The HeadHouse (122 Lombard St.) yesterday evening. Nichols has been out of the bar/restaurant game for awhile, but this is far from his first venture — he and wife Beatrice ran ECCO in the '80s and early '90s. He decided to jump back into the fray after Madame Saito, who owns the adjacent Le Champignon de Tokio in addition to the HeadHouse's bricks, informed him that the space would be available; he loves the Society Hill area and felt "that there was room for this kind of bar" in the neighborhood. Aesthetically, Nichols has lightened up the front room a bit with wood-paneled walls, framed photos of 18th- and 19th-century British ale glasses. The back room has been kept largely the same as Zot's — the main bar's back here, and there are high-tops tricked out with neat metal pint caddies for added oh-shit-I'm-drunk beer stability. The HeadHouse is primarily a showcase for Nichols' craft beer passion — he's doing 20 beers on tap on the ground floor, and there's an entirely separate system on the second level, which Nichols looks forward to using for private events, through his catering company and otherwise. (Here's an unorthodox feature — four of those 20 taps feature are designated for beer cocktails. Right now the HeadHouse has ginger beer and a Dark 'n' Stormy concoction on draft.) Chef Jimmy Chiu, who's worked for Museum Catering for 12 years, has designed an affordable, globally influenced menu that's got everything from carnitas and takoyaki to mussels and falafel (check it out in full below). The HeadHouse's food and bev director is Tom Pittakas, formerly of Alison Two in Fort Washington. Nichols was instrumental in founding Beer Week, so it's only right that the HeadHouse hosts some events. Tonight starting at 9 p.m., they're hosting a "Pime My Rye, Pimp Yourself" party with Dock Street — the West Philly brewery's "pimped out" a batch of their tasty rye IPA with various spices, and they encourage people to pimp out their attire accordingly. ("There might will even be some hos," Nichols postulates.) And tomorrow, June 12, the bar will host the 20th annual Michael Jackson Tutored Tastings, the event that basically started this whole Beer Week thing in the first place.

Tweed (114 S. 12th St.) is set to open tomorrow night. Meal Ticket stopped by earlier today to grab a few photos of the space — we shared a few peeks at the food in late May, but now the restaurant is fully realized, with a glinting, zinc-heavy feel on the ground level and some white-tablecloth throwback class up the stairs. (Up here, owner Edward Bianchini even has his own corner table, which he can dole out to friends and fam.) Check out our previous posts for information on David Cunningham's approach, then hit up the jump for a look at the full opening menu.

Four Corners Management's Noche (1901 Chestnut St.) has a sleek, grown-up new look all of a sudden. "The place has taken a beating over the last few years," says 4CM's Mark Fichera. "It was due for an updating." They've revamped everything, from the lighting and booths, tables and banquettes to the color scheme and floor finish. No more Southwestern animal hide-type seating throws. The food and drink remains the same.

Founded in October 2008, Meal Ticket is a City Paper blog about food, drink and assorted other things that make you go mmm. We do recipes, interviews, restaurant news, commentary and much more. We don't do restaurant reviews herethose are handled in print, mostly by our critic (and Meal Ticket contributor) Adam Erace. Got a tip, question, thought or concern? Just want to say hello? Please shoot a note to caroline@citypaper.net.
