Rosey’s BBQ (9 North Main Street, Ambler) has seen first hand some of the terrible flood damage done to Ambler but Hurricane Irene.

Rosey’s, which just moved to Ambler (their 2nd location) in July, will be doubling their donation during this Saturday’s Oktoberfest in Ambler. Rosenthal added, “Weather you enjoy our sweet, smoky ribs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked turkey or Southern style side dishes, you’ll contribute to helping Ambler recover from this unfortunate natural disaster.”

Ambler’s Oktoberfest takes place from 10AM to 5 PM.

Let Pringles Soundtrack Your Summer Jams

Jim Adair — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 18:20:01 +0000

Who doesn’t love Pringles? You don’t love Pringles? Why? Pringles are awesome.

All of that aside, Pringles is running a pretty great promotion on their website. They are giving out Pringles can speakers, or a single speaker, or the electronics to make your own. To be honest, it’s not exactly clear. But all you have to do is buy 4 cans of “Super Stack” Pringles and save the receipts. After that, download and print the .pdf over on their website. Fill out the form, circle the Pringles items on your receipts, and mail them back to Pringles (we secretly love that this involves actual postage on our part). After that, “wait (at most 10 to 12 weeks) … until your speaker arrives.”

Once your Pringles cans arrive you will be the envy of all of your barbecuing friends (unless the speakers sound terrible, then you’ll only be the envy for the first 5 minutes).

Hurry Up, Famous Dave’s!

Elizabeth Malleus — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:11:55 +0000

As Meal Ticket told us back in early July, Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Q will be moving into 1725 Chestnut Street. Formerly where Goodburger was located. We took a stroll by the location yesterday, and we are sorry to say that it does not look like much progress has been made. Other than the liquor license in the window, there was nothing else new or exciting. Either way, our mouths are watering and our stomachs growling in anticipation of our first Dave’s Famous Feast in this new location. Yes, it is served on the lid of a garbage can. Don’t judge us.

A Full Plate Café’s 4th Annual Rib Cook Off Shapes Up

tips — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:25:53 +0000

A Full Plate Café’s 4th Annual Rib Cook Off will be back this year on September 11th, and each year, the competition, which is quickly becoming a NoLibs staple, seems to get a little more stiff. This year, according to Full Plate’s Shannon Dougherty, there’s some changes in store. Among them:

“- Professional Division. You can expect last year’s winning teams to be out grilling such as Koo Zee Doo, Sonata, and Q BBQ. North Bowl is claiming to take home “Crowd Favorite” this year.
- All teams can compete in 3 categories of grilling. We are going to have
all teams compete by grilling ribs, whole organic chickens, and a
vegetarian item of their choosing.
- Location. Location Location. We will have all teams cooking at Liberty
Lands Park in Northern Liberties. The Rib Cook off is directly followed
by the Northern Liberties Music Festival. The park is at 3rd and Wildey.”

All in all, this is always a great day. We’ll have more as the event approaches.
