Whose bread are they using?

I don't know if I can suffer through even my last 3 days working in Wilmington when I know that yummies like these exist on the lunch plates of philadelphians. mmmmmmmmmmm. want. need. now.

Yo! Why's Meek sporting a Yankees hat while reppin' the 215?
Does having the image reversed make it an anti-Yankees hat?

Good for them.

Tried the Italian Deluxe today. It was pretty good. I still like Sarcone's better, but Gaetano's is a good neighborhood spot.

I've already eaten there twice. Awesome.

Oh f*ck - You had me thinking Maynard was going to be in Philly. F*ck.

Har, harrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Tis alomost funny except that Shitypaper is backing an idee like dis, butt then again they always are on the side of the establishment. This Picked Over Piccostco Free Blogging After Youz Submit A Ton of Crap and Get Less Than the Other Bloggers and Media Goons is just another example of the lack of respect the PMA has for those of an artistic bent, unless yous are big timers, then yous get the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't visit this show, don't send them membershit money (even at their NEW discounted rip off price), don't send them free content for their website unless your time is worth about 50 cent an hour!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Crayolyn Huckabyebye should du the free blog thang for Pee M Ehhh since she is endorsing it wit this valuable space!!!!!!!!!!!!

lovvvvveeeeeeeeeeee ya!!!!!!!!! H+H

When I went there in August, I loved the sangria. The paella negra was also unlike any other paella I ever had. My companion and I also got "special" treatment from the staff after we mentioned to the hostess we were from Philly and had been to his other places out there.

What can I say? I guess I like pizza!

Sam J, you are SHARP. This is Gianfranco's. We're never disappointed in their pie. Matt, great guess!

Hmm...decor, crust, and clue lead me to believe Joe's...but I'm not sure which one. Looks more like 17th and Chestnut than 16th and Sansom.

That crust looks like Gianfranco's. Yes, no?

Need. That. Burger.

I guess I really enjoyed myself more than I spoke of at Firewaters this weekend....Nancie=Nanci. forgive me!

Thanks for sharing this post! Actually, this is one of the things that my wife kept on telling me during our Philadelphia dating getaway. We searched for these all day. IN fact, she really doesn't want to go home without having one of these. LOL

Thanks for sharing. I made hotdogs last night so I haven't had the mood for dining out. But I still want to visit this place. Thanks for the post! It's quite exciting to see that there are a lot of places left to have a good time.

"IT IF AINT BROKE" I OWN A PUB. A GOOD PORTION OF MY BUSINESS IS SELLING TAKE OUT BEER, MAYBE 35%. I EMPLOY SOMEONE TO HANDLE THAT PART OF THE BUSINESS. I GUESS HE NEEDS TO FIND HIMSELF ANOTHER JOB. I PAY A 8% SALE TAX ON ALL THE BEER AND LIQUOR I PURCHASE AND AN ADDITIONAL 10% LIQUOR TAX ON EVERY BOTTLE AND CAN AND DRAFT AND LIQUOR DRINK SOLD. PHILADELPHIA AND THE STATE OF PENNA DO QUITE WELL THRU MY BUSINESS. THIS BILL WOULD KILL EVERY SMALL BAR BUSINESS THAT RELIES ON TAKE OUT SALES.WHY? HAVE THEY EVER BEEN IN BUSINESS? THE RENT GETS RAISED, THE ELECTRIC BILL GOES UP, THE CHAIN LIQUOR ESTABLISHMENT OPEN UP AROUND THE CORNER, THE STATE WANTS $1170 FOR RENEWALS FOR MY LIQUOR LICENSE EVERY YEAR AND AN ADDITIONAL THREE HUNDRED FOR "TAKE OUT" PRIVILEGES. IT NEVER ENDS. AND NOW THEY WANT TO SCREW UP A SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE WHERE EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN NITCH. ALL THIS TALK ABOUT MINORS DRINKING, DRUNKEN DRIVERS, YEA, START SELLING BEER IN SUPERMARKETS.

Friday was spent at home in anticipation of the Craft Beer Express and Pliney the Younger tapping at Tria. After standing outside in the rain for 30 minutes at Tria I got my one allowed glass of Pliney and enjoyed it very much. Then I headed to Johnny Brenda's for the Stout brunch and the beginning of the Craft Beer Express. Hopped the bus to Kite and Key for a flight of 60, 75, 90 and 120 min IPA to go with my bowl of Wild Boar chille. After filling up on wild boar, we headed to Sidecar where I enjoyed a Pliney the Elder - and thus had both the Younger and the Elder in one day. Ended the crawl at Devil's Den, drinking water at first and then enjoying the Ommegang and Duvel flight and cheese plater pairing. Finished of with some mussels.

Sunday morning I spent recovering, then headed to Brewers Plate Sunday night, for what was to me the best beer and food event I've ever been to. Southwark's porkhead and salad was amazing, as was the cheese in the VIP room, paired with Vicotry Old and New World beers.

I left this weekend full, and tired and loving Philadelphia.

LOL. This is horrible it's like ordering a dozen blue cheeses with a side of chicken wing.

Thanks!

no dining out this weekend due to various committments...and a desire to cook. Friday I made a banging homemade pizza. Dough made from scratch topped with an arugula salad, a little bit of fresh mozz, chicken sausage and pecorino. One of of my favorite pizzas to make.

Saturday I made tilapia and whole wheat pasta with a roasted fennel and sundried tomato sauce. side arugula salad and flatbread.

Both nights dinner was accompanied by a mixed case of dogfish head beer.

Agreed. Even if I have the ingredients nerdily memorized from when I peeped the restaurant hours before going in, I still like to hear it.

FYI, said customer also asked for "more non-chocolate dessert items" on the menu. 3 out of 5 clearly wasn't enough. My hot date, who typically hates on cheesecake, drooled over their chevre and citrus-ed version.

Who complains about a server explaining the food they're serving? That is stupid. I've witnessed some "drops" get out of hand but for the most part, I like to know what I'm eating. It's fun!

-Fuqi fei pian delivered from Szechuan Tasty House a equally spicy alternative when it's raining too hard to make it over to handy nasty.

-Phooey to all the people who say you have to measure precisely when baking. Whole wheat chocolate chip muffins with inappropriate amounts of milk, eggs, sour cream, and baking soda still came out handy tasty.

-Chuckled over comment cards with a server at Fond as they were closing on Saturday night. One customer complained about the servers explaining the dishes as they brought them out. And yes the veal sweetbreads were awesome.

Mithras:

My mistake, Mithras — the scan didn't turn out so great so I didn't post it, but I forgot to edit out that line. Here's a PDF of the menu, sorry about the scan quality.

Where is the menu again?

Sunday brunch at Morning Glory Diner consisted of hot coffee served in tin mug, smoked salmon frittata with asparagus, goat cheese and chives, soft biscuit, and grits. Their homemade ketchup was sweet and smokey, which I prefer to anything store-bought. Enough food to keep you satisfied all day.

Friday: Work and self-imposed house arrest to clean and get ready for...

Saturday: Family arrives to pre-game for the Flyers game. Stromboli from Georgetti's and pretzels from Cass' Soft Pretzel Bakery (both located in Cinnaminson, NJ). Chickie's crab fries at the game (natch). Post-game celebration at Tom Fischer's in Westmont. Passed out on the couch at approximately 8 p.m.

Sunday: Met the boyfriend's parents over brunch at Parc. Warm shrimp salad with avocado, parmesan and lemon beurre blanc. Two bellinis. Mmm. Sunday school at Tria featuring a buffalo cheese and pinot noir. Leftover stromboli for dinner.

This morning: +4 lbs.

On Saturday, I had a great lunch at Garces Trading Company (Locust between 12th St & 11th Street). It was a fantastical experience. Food and service were excellent, and everything was fairly priced. I started off with the Vichyssoise Chaude ($9.00 - potato, leek, bay scallop, chive, bacon) this creamy soup was just delicious, and the scallop were sweet and fresh. For my 2nd course I had The Spaniard ($9.00 grilled chicken, bacon, almond romesco aioli,manchego cheese, romaine). This sandwich was out of this world good...crisp, bold flavors, all combine on a crusty bread -- the almond romesco aioli was definitely a different pleasurable experience for the taste buds. And if you forget your wine, this is a BYOB, there is a well equipped State Store with some great wine selections -- at very reasonable prices. Definitely a great spot to visit for a nice lunch, or dinner on the go. I highly recommend it!

Dinner at Lolita on Saturday night...what can I say? It was heavenly, as usual. Had the Pechuga de Pato, aka duck...perfectly cooked. Also, my body decided I can longer drink tequila, so I mixed the blood orange margarita with Makers Mark. I wish I could rewind and do it all over again.

What is with this ply.mtg rest? The food nwas sub-par. The attitude of the wait bordered on outright disdain. I will stay far away from this eatery. Oh, by the way, the only thing quick at this joint is being presented with a check. Lousy management.

Sara, I might see you at the gym if I can ignore that fried oyster omelet that's calling my name. Or is that you, lobster grilled cheese? Bloody mary?

Dammit, I was going to say Charlie's, but the lighting threw me off. I actually interviewed there for a kitchen job a couple of years ago but ended up choosing something else. Is the food decent?

Partook in the Turista Menu at Modo Mio. I'm not huge on Italian but it was delish. Fave part = the meatballs.

Sunday brunch at fish., Fried Oyster omelette, Lobster grilled cheese, best bloody mary in the city.

Saturday night dinner at Zahav. Loved it - merguez was my favorite. Could mainline that hummus. Sunday brunch at Memphis Taproom. Friendly, and a good bloody mary, but didn't love their take on chilaquiles.

Saturday brunch at Distrito — had the Torta, which was less pretty than anything else we'd seen served, but likely just as delicious.

Saturday dinner at Beau Monde — crazy-expensive (and not-that-impressive) cheese plate, veg-stuffed crepe.

Sunday brunch — pancakes and crispy scrapple at Green Eggs.

Sunday dinner — leftovers. Lethargy.

I also just flew back east from a trip to the Windy City, and I dragged a party of four to Mercat this weekend. The 4 of us (including one pescatarian in tow) polished off a solid third of the menu. We were inspired no doubt by a personal greeting from the Iron Chef himself, who dropped by the table after hearing that I flew halfway across the country to eat there.

Although I can safely say that everything we ate was divine, the Yellowfin Tuna a la Planxa and Braised Rabbit Agnolotti topped my personal list. And my Chicago friends took the opportunity during our audience with Chef Garces to tell him that he should bottle and sell the Roasted Garlic Dulce de Leche to which he responded, "It is on sale at Garces Trading Company." I am now on strict orders to post several bottles back to Chicago.

Three words: Porkslap Pale Ale. In a can, at Percy Street, Sunday happy hour. (After a $3 half-price pint of Slyfox Rauchbier.)

Friday: Founders night at SPTR - ALL Founders drafts were $3-4 and that was ridiculous. Paired the beers with excellent food per usual. Heard the rare beer was Kentucky Breakfast Stout (!!!!!!!) and will be tapped at a later date. SPTR was followed by drunken times at the Dive & karaoke at Ray's Happy Birthday Bar.

Saturday: Tried the new Xochitl. Loved the late night happy hour in the basement lounge ($5 for bangin', strong 'ritas), the famous and artery clogging but delicious queso fundido, and chicharrones.

Sunday: Spent most of the afternoon at Devil's Den for brunch and Bell's beers - Hopslam, Van Twee, Consecrator were all on tap and amazing.

This week will be spent at the gym, dudes.

Drew, just saw this, scrolled down the page, and was hoping to be the first to answer! Love Charlie's--it's one of my neighborhood spots!

Friday: Lunch at Handynasty in the OC where I had the amazing dry-spicy Kung Pao Chicken and crazy-delicious cold pork belly appetizer. After work, I hit the Founders Brewery Philly Beer Weekend night at the SPTR where everyone was still foaming at the mouth about the recent PLCB crackdowns. Founders had purportedly planned to tap some rare kegs, but this did not come to pass.

Saturday: Braved the rain for a trip over to Green Aisle Grocery for a complimentary cup of Ommegang Witte and an (expensive) bottle of Fee Bros. Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters. Later, I cracked open a 1-liter bottle of Mr. Beer West Coast Pale Ale and played some ridiculous Xbox war-is-hell game, then watched The Hurt Locker on Netflix before heading over to POPE's rare, aged Dogfish Head night for aged kegs of the Delaware brewery's Fort and Burton Baton and topped it off with a Great Divide Yeti.

Sunday: A bit rough around the edges and an hour later than planned, recovered with Green Eggs Cafe's massively satisfying cast iron skillet-prepared and -served Kitchen Sink (cheddar eggs, potatoes, biscuit and sausage gravy)

How do I get in touch with Kevin? Can you direct me to a fine dining experience? Kim H

Joel, you are correct! This is Charlie's. First time there. Lamb burger.

Took me a few glances but the gold lamee Elvis on the left wall gives it away. It's Charlie's at 3rd and Arch.
