- KleInsider never stops working. This week he shares details on Il Pittore, Chris Painter's northern-Tuscan collaboration with Starr Restaurant Organization, set to take over the former Ansill space. The dreamy handmade pastas Painter became known for at Angelina will make their overdue comeback here.
- Congratulations are in order for Grub Street's Kirsten Henri, who's just been named the new Food Editor at Philadelphia magazine. Great news for her, better news for aspiring foodie professionals. Think you have what it takes? Grub Street Philly is looking for a new part-time food editor, listing job deets here.
- Messy and Picky makes us question why we even buy boring ol' regular eggs when we can eat these giant goose eggs from Pecan Meadows Farm in Newburg, Pa. instead. M&P say you can buy them closer to home at the Fair Food Farmstand in RTM for $3 a pop.
- Today marks the 77th anniversary of the Cullen-Harrison Act, or more plainly, the abolishment of Prohibition in America. To help you drink up like your great-grandfathers did, Foobooz shares details on how to celebrate.
- Stephen Starr just can't sit still. The prolific restaurateur is working on a ridiculously long list of projects, The Illadelph reports. Among them: El Rey (opening soon), a Fishtown beer garden, some pizza shops, expansion at Stella, plus two new rumored spots in West Philly. Maybe we should buy him a puppy.
- Did you know there are 39 ingredients in a Twinkie ... and five of them are derived from rocks? Neither did we. The durable snack cake turned 80 yesterday, Serious Eats reports, and gets a whole book dedicated to the nutritional mysteries inside.

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- Collin Flatt finds soul in a bowl with Chifa's smoky pork-belly ramen on Phoodie.info, his second dispatch in a series seeking serious noodles around town.
- School district administrators and elected officials are not feeling the West Philly charter school/after hours bar the Inquirer outed this week, notes Grub Street Philly. Seems like a weird loophole in our archaic liquor code is responsible for an old after-hours club license being transferred to the Harambee Charter School.
- Foobooz is keen on Amis' new monthly industry nights beginning May 3. Who wouldn't want to get in line for a spread of free Marc Vetri food? Mr. Foobooz is gonna have to pick up a bussing shift somewhere if he wants in, though.
- Qi-Yang "Vic" Shi has sold his Sansom St. Vic Sushi to employees to open a closer-to-home location in Spring House, writes The Insider. Having eaten there Monday night, we can tell you nothing has changed at the urban spot.
- NYC's Milk & Honey mastermixer Sasha Petraske will consult on the concept, but not the cocktail list, of Stephen Starr's speakeasy annex to upcoming Mexico City-themed El Rey, writes The Illadelph. Are the blocks between 18th and 20th/Chestnut and Sansom destined to become Philly's style-bar corridor?

| The First Lady flexes some guns for gardening |
Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.
- White House food initiatives are tracked on Obama Foodarama, including fun bits like "avid organic gardener" Michelle Obama's animated presence on The Simpsons Sunday last. Voiced by actress Angela Bassett, the First Lady visits Springfield Elementary to assure Lisa Simpson that high achievers/food gardeners win in the end, adding, "I got As when As were hard to get."
- The Insider has details on NY's five-outlet Italian restaurant Serafina opening a branch in the luxury 10 Rittenhouse building. Pizza, simple Northern Italian dishes, fresh-squeezed juices, coffee and pastry will make up the menu.
- Do you know SBP? That's Standard Breading Procedure, and if you want your crumby coatings crisp and not left behind to float sadly in the pan, check out SeriousEats' SBP slideshow for schnitzel.
- Ken Alan is Vice President of Concierge Services for BPG Properties, and he drops into The Restaurant Club to share pro tips on getting that competitive reservation, including key contacts. Did you know Amada takes ressies two years in advance?
- Once again, the French glam-ify something that's we 'Mericans have been mindlessly chomping since childhood. Jacques Torres Chocolate takes ordinary Cheerios and coats them with premium milk chocolate, producing wee little doughnuts of improved nostalgia. Via DailyCandy.

-- Don Russell (Joe Sixpack) reports on his blog Beer Radar that Origlio, the wholesaler who supplied "unregistered" beers to Memphis Taproom, Local 44 and Resurrection Ale House, was raided by the PLCB Monday night. Other distributors are "lawyering up" and the flow of Duvel, misnamed on the registry, has ceased.
-- Foobooz noticed the liquor license app in the window of Ansill; prolific commentor Mithras noticed the address for Thatsa Nice restaurant partners corresponds with Starr Restaurant Organization HQ -- 134 Market St.
-- Audrey Taichman will close her restaurant Twenty Manning this Saturday after service, reports The Insider. The Rittenhouse mainstay will undergo a month-long renovation and re-emerge as a friendly American grill.
-- Slashfood talks with Dr. Randall Keast, who is part of an Australian research team that has evidence some people can "taste" fat better than others. The big reveal of the study, sure to make our skinny comrades feel even more smugly superior: "The higher a person's fat-tasting sensitivity, the fewer fatty foods that person ate, and the lower that person's body mass index was."
-- Strange Brew, the 1983 movie starring Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas doing ridiculous Canadian accents, will be reinvented as a Fox sitcom, says BeerNews.org. What do TV writers know about craft brewing, anyway?
what do u think about serve yourself trend ? In my opinion, serving yourself is a smart trend. It gives more relax and comfortable for drinkers http://www.drinkoutloud.com/questions.html
I'm sorry to hear about Twenty Manning. I suppose they have to do what they can to survive, but I'll miss the Asian vegetables they've served.
