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).
Come on down! You're in the neighborhood now.
I tried O the other day. I know it flies in the face of all the reviews, but I prefer Ba Le.

- 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.
The variety of tomatoes is overwhelming. I picked up a quart of mixed small tomatoes in various sizes and colors. Peppers in every color from pale yellow to deep purple. I chose a red and an orange ones. Pole limas are starting, the zukes are beautiful, and dinosaur kale appeared for th… Continue

Not to Get All Preachy But…
While we have the opportunity to enjoy grog fests, corn dog roundups, and IHOPs, the sad truth is that a lot of people don’t. The good news is that there are a lot of folks out there trying to fight the good fight. Memphis Taproom is getting all kinds of involved: They are supporting Manna’s [...]Philly.com Dining
'Naked Pint': Chuck the chardonnay
BABES AND BEER go together like mud and wrestling - which is to say, it's a guy thing. Which, incidentally, explains why so many women reach for the grape instead of grain.A fresh look at three little fishes
Sardines, anchovies, smelts. To know them is to love them. Getting to know them properly is the issue, but all that's needed is a "fresh" look.Italian restaurateur finds success at lower price
Joseph Tucker, who got his start in Philly in the 1990s with fancier Italian establishments (Joseph's, Joseph's on the Avenue, Pompeii), is thriving nowadays with lower price points and more modest aspirations.Women at the top: 15 exec chefs reveal their ingredients for success
THE KITCHEN is still a man's world. But that's changing, at least in Philadelphia. While women may do most of the cooking at home, in restaurant kitchens across America, more often than not, the top toque is a man.Rush Hour Gourmet
This recipe contains so many of my favorite ingredients - Italian tuna, Greek olives, capers, and mozzarella cheese - that I knew it would soon become a regular in the rotation of weeknight meals.Unbreaded
Nothing Better Than Beer And Sandwiches: BeerCamp Philly

At Philadelphia’s acclaimed Cypriot restaurant Kanella, you will not find fusion, which Chef Konstantinos Pitsillides calls “confusion.” Rather, you will experience the diverse culinary influences of the world cultures that have occupied and settled the chef’s native Cyprus over the centuries: Turkish, French, Venetian, Arab, North African, English and Greek, each of whom have left [...]All Points Po’ Boy
The po’ boy is the quintessential New Orleans sandwich. The crusty French bread, and toppings varying from breaded shrimp, and soft-shell crab, to roast beef au jus, help to tell a story of the sandwich makers behind the counter. In ten days, The New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival will bring together 40 restaurants to share [...]Around The Web: America’s Sexiest Sandwich
The term “food porn” generally refers to stunning close-up photos of food, but over at Heavy.com, they’ve adopted the more literal definition and conducted a national survey to determine which sandwich America most wants to… um… make babies with. Dubbed the search for America’s sexiest sandwich, Heavy.com enlisted the services of a market research [...]Toasty Roast Pork At Wasko’s
