Whole Foods used to make a killer sandwich: Sliced turkey, pepper jack cheese, avocado slices, tomato, a green (I preferred alfalfa sprouts) with chipotle mayo on a whole grain bread. I miss their sandwich making area. Why they thought we need ano...
Loved it. Best of the gastro pubs I've been to (since the deline of Ugly American).

- Not sure if they'll play it on-air. That would be cool and would drive a lot more people to sign up. It was a lot of fun either way and I'm really looking forward to actually being back in the city again!

What's on at Headhouse farmers market
We are in the waning days of Summer here in the Delaware Valley and early fall produce is appearing while hot weather items still abound.

Northern Liberties Koo Zee Doo BYOB offers Portuguese cuisine
Until recently, if you had a hankering for Portuguese cuisine - and it's hard not to - you had to trek to the Northeast or New Jersey. With the opening of Koo Zee Doo BYOB on Second Street in Northern Liberties, it is easier for Philadelphians to say, "Bom Apetite!"Joe Sixpack: A beer a day for 10,000 days
THE FIRST was Dinkel Acker. Dale Van Wieren of Lansdale, Montgomery County, cracked open the dark German lager on March 19, 1971, wrote its name in a notebook, poured himself a glass and put the bottle on a shelf.Looking for the right wine? No problem
All the pressure should land on the chef at Thanksgiving, because when it comes to bringing the wine, there are no "wrong" answers. After all, this holiday meal is typically such a riot of divergent flavors, from tart cranberries to sweet potatoes to the meaty bird and its lusty dressing, that it's impossible for a single wine to match the feast's many moods.Quick Chicken Fajitas
Southwestern fajitas with meat and colorful vegetables make a delicious, light meal. Typically, the meat is marinated overnight and then grilled, but I use a warm marinade and cut the chicken into thin strips to eliminate the wait.Pie contest has ulterior motive - what crust!
Marilyn Paige adores apple pie, but she knows her limitations. "I can eat it, I just can't bake it," says Paige, a student/scrapbooker/photographer. "And I don't believe you can buy a great slice of apple pie in Philadelphia without paying a fortune."Unbreaded

Its origins are subject to debate, but there is no question that the Reuben is one of the country’s most popular and most delicious sandwiches. Crispy buttered rye with russian dressing, sauerkraut, corned beef and swiss, the Reuben is a staple of deli cuisine, but two different Reubens claim to have created the eponymous sandwich.
