CURRENTLY SERVING:

· Perhaps the biggest Food Blob in the entire city, the Food Distribution Center in South Philly, is slated for a move to a $200m new facility that will carry the only slightly less generic name Philadelphia Regional Produce Market. Confession: We’re kind of obsessed with this place and would love to do a video segment on it before it’s sent to the dustbin of history. If you’ve got an in, please email us at phoodie[at]gmail[dot]com. [Inky]
· After our Bloody Mary blowout post a few weeks back, we thought we’d seen it all, but no: Check out Alfa’s flight of Bloody Mary variations (pictured). Oh. My. God. [Rachel’sGuide]
· And ever the studious inspector of restaurant fetuses, City Paper’s Drew Lazor gets the deets on new South Philly BYO Nicholas, helmed by chefs Nicholas Matteo and Nicholas Sweeney, both of whom have done time at Morimoto and Striped Bass. The long and the short of it: New American bistro style, lots of seafood, menu changing almost daily, and yes, they’ll have fresh mixers for your booze. [CP]
