Another Drink We (Think We) Miss: Orbitz!

Orbitz: A Drink With Balls!
Orbitz was a drink that ruled 1997’s refrigerator with an iron fist. A drink that wasn’t afraid to say “Check out my sweet balls… My sweet, chewy, gelatin, pink balls.” But sadly, like so much Clearly Canadian and New York Seltzer, Orbitz disappeared from our grocer’s shelves and entered into our [...]

Unhealthy Obsession Of The Moment: Dutch Pantry

This post on Philebrity today about Harrisburg’s fiscal woes has led us down an Internet wormhole into all things Dutch Pantry. We are frightened, yet curious. Anybody ever been to one of these? Surely, you must have stories.

From The Dept. Of Bygone Carbonated Beverages We Also Miss: New York Seltzer

We bet these guys could beat the bejesus out of those lameass California Raisins.
Apparently, that post about Clearly Canadian unleashed the floodgates of ’80s food memories. According to InThe80s.com, New York Seltzer was “possibly one of the tastiest non-alcoholic beverages ever. It was seltzer water with a lot of flavor in it so that it [...]

Does God Cry Or Laugh When A Pretty Girl Eats 33 Tacos In 9 Minutes?

So wrong it’s right, or so right it’s wrong? Lisel Parillon is all like, “Oooh-wee, what up with that.”
UPenn Grad Student Lisel Parillon (pictured) completed the Drinker’s Triple Crown taco challenge last Thursday, thereby winning free drinks at all three Drinker’s locations for a year, and scaring the living hell out of anyone who might [...]

What Kind Of Animals Would Tow The Everloving Cupcake Truck?!?!

Says our tipster: “The PPA has confiscated West Philly’s Buttercream Cupcake Truck in some sort of dispute over where she is allowed to do business. Seems heavyhanded in the same vein as the Pennsylvania State Police raiding hipster bars for improperly registered doppel bocks and lambics.” Obviously, there’s some confusion about whether it’s L&I or [...]

I’ll Have The Heart Attack Platter With A Side Of Fried What

Spotted on the boardwalk in good ol’ North Wildwood. We like the approach.

Recommended Reading: “The Truffle Kid”

This week’s issue of the New Yorker has a great piece about Brett Ottolenghi, proprietor of Artisanal Foods in Las Vegas and something of a huckster-to-the-stars of high-end dining. In Dana Goodyear’s profile, we follow the twentysomething Ottolenghi — who’s been selling truffles and fine foods on the web since he was a kid — [...]

Readers Write: Is Your Server Overcharging You, A Few Dollars At A Time?

The Phoodie.info mailbag brings us one of the more interesting controversies we’ve seen in a little while:
“1601 Cafe at Tasker/Morris is overcharging Credit Cards. If you’ve been a recent patron at 1601, and have used payment methods other than cash – check your receipts. It seems that their already angry and broke bartenders are giving [...]

Lunchtime Poll: Someone At Di Bruno Bros Is…

[A] really high.
[B] finishing up a summer creative writing class.
[C] going on day three of being duct taped to a chair watching the Discovery Channel Clockwork Orange style.
[D] wondering how their Twitter account got hacked.

Wine Glass Experimentation (For Science’s Sake)

If you are partial to the idea of being part of (not very) scientific studies that involve drinking wine and free wine glasses, this is probably worth checking out. Hudson Beach Glass, a glassblowing studio in Old City, is looking for an answer to an interesting question: Is your wine tastier/better in a glass with [...]
