don't even get me started on the inedible 'punkin "flavored" crap. I think at this point, companies are in a race to create the most ridiculous concoction.
I present to you Pumpkin Spice Spam. Ridiculous indeed, and Food and Wine has taken the leap and has already tried it.

Any tips for Vedge's signature dishes? I don't need to have something just because it's a signature dish; I'd only want it if it was a signature dish *and* great.

Cooking Class & Lunch at BLT Steak, it's quite a bit ahead on the calendar, but I thought I would plant the seed.
Take a seat at our chef's table on Saturday, September 7, for a special demonstration you don't want to miss, followed by a behind-the-scenes tour of the BLT Steak kitchen and a three-course lunch paired with selections from our cellar.
Three course lunch includes:
BLT Steak Popovers / whipped butter
Stracciatella Cheese / preserved tomato / garlic crisps / bread crumb / Ligurian olive oil
Australian Lamb Rack / sweet potato / shallots
Carrot Cake / ginger ice cream
Petite Fours
Tickets for the Chef's Table Cooking Class at BLT Steak are $128 (inclusive of tax and gratuity) per person.
I thought I added a link to this event, but I guess I did not.

This is a fact.

For those of you who may have missed this last year, I highly recommend attending this year. It was an extraordinary event, and brought out so many of all ages to celebrate culture. As I learn of more details of both the talent who may be performing, along with all the food stalls that will be serving, I will update as the date grows closer.

A pop -up in the Parts & Labor space to take place this Saturday from 12-5. I took a peak at BarkBBQ instagram and it looks downright delicious. Will report back.
Pop-up ran from 12-5. Brisket sold out at around 2:30. I was informed a line formed around 11:15, and well I guess everyone was on the same page as me. I arrived 20 minutes too late for what I was looking forward to since I heard the announcement of said pop-up.
I ordered the ribs & rice. Kinda unremarkable, and the rice was meh. I have been on a BBQ kick lately, and I wonder why there are not more places that serve up good BBQ. Oh well., onto the next pop-up.
Deflated,

I have been following the progression of closures at the Bourse Food Hall in Philly, and a few stalls have closed on account they simply weren't meeting the dining needs of the guests visiting the location. Perhaps this is the case for Jubilee, but why not be upfront about the details. On the few occasions I have been to Urbanspace's location of Jubilee, I found their flavor offerings a bit adventurous, or maybe they just had spread themselves too thin among all of their locations.

Taste America Tour stops In Philadelphia
There are two opportunities to take part in James Beard Foundation's Taste America tour for their stop in Philadelphia. One is clearly a bit more accessible then the other one. I hope to be able to attend the cocktail party on Oct 30, but the gala is way out of my price range. I think I recall attending something similar to this over a decade ago in Washington, DC, where Marc Vetri cooked up the best pasta I have had to date.

Why didn't I break my 30 year gap since I had McDonald's instead of lose my pit beef cherry on this guy fieri endorsed monstrosity only slightly resembling food.
I am not sure why Chap's Pit Beef is the go to for pit beef. I have tried to like it, but I just find it void of flavor. I still stand by my recommendation of Pioneer, again not sure if its solely worth the drive from DC, but if you live in the nearby area, 100%. And if you don't like it, you would have only spent less than $10. You can grab a pitbeef and a 45 next door at the liquor store and make it a lively picnic.

Reviving a thread from 2009- I need potato salad for my trashy birthday party this weekend. But I want it to taste decently. Anyone like a pre-made store potato salad? Wegman's/Giant/Shoppers/HT- anyone have one you think is halfway decent, or with a good tszuj of hot sauce or something you can make it pretty darned good?
If I still lived in Arlington I would buy it in bulk from Heidelberg, but that seems like too long of a drive from me, and a bit too classy for this party. I want it to be tasty but trashy.
Dutch potato salad from Wegmans should fit the bill.

Blackberry Farm's collaboration with Mini Bar is perhaps one of the more expensive pop- ups I have read about priced $595/ per person, and both time slots are sold out.

Its actually still open. Norma doesn’t produce weekly, on account of her health. But she is still running the stand. i just had a few slices a few weeks ago. For the little oven she has, she produces one hell of pie. She experiments with different fermentation's, and produces different styles of pies. From Neapolitan to Detroit square, she is another gem tucked away in Lancaster County.

They're so different it's hard to compare, although I have a strong preference for Frankly's crust; Pupatella's often has a floppy component to it (not because of the typical "wet interior" that Neapolitan pizzas have, but because the whole crust is just kind-of soft).
My biggest problem with Frankly is their Caesar Salad - they put honey (yes, honey) in it, and I find it off-putting.
<--- Very different styles.
arugula & honey? eek.
as far as pizza goes, I personally prefer a strong crust as well. It has been years since I have had Pupatella's , and don't remember how it stacks up against other places in the area. There are some great ones in my area, but the one that reigns supreme is only available on Tuesdays at a farmers market in Manheim, Pa.
