CURRENTLY SERVING:

· Beer Week: Did it all really happen, or was it just a wonderful dream? ‘Twas no dream, says the Inky: “A conservative estimate of 15,000 people attended nearly 300 beer-themed events in the city and suburbs from March 7 through 16.” That is a LOT of awful microbrews quaffed, folks. Hopefully, you all went as heavy on the Kenzinger as we did. [Inky]
· Foobooz, having settled the “gastropub” issue once and for all — there are many worse words, guys, and we’ve been called all of them — the gang has now cracked the code of what the samhill a “Euro” is, and we’re not talking about the little piece of paper currently beating the khrams off the dollar. [Foobooz]
· Recipe we want to go make right now: Seitan Dumplings. We know that sounds like something your Ralph Nadering cousin would make, but come on. Eat something healthy for a change. You might even like it! [PW]
· Anybody else notice that Center City is going from like no food markets to a whole bunch of late? Introducing Food & Friends Neighborhood Market. [CP]
· And finally, if we may extend some friendly advice to the denizens of Craigslist and PhillyBlog, let us state this plainly: Stop projecting your own I’m-not-a-hipster insecurities onto the staff of Johnny Brenda’s. It’s not that they think you’re fat and ugly and not worth serving. It’s that you think you’re fat and ugly and not worth serving. Take a deep breath. Visualize success. [Craigslist]
