Every Wednesday, we poke around the food blog world to see what’s simmering.
- Josh Homacki, chef at Rittenhouse’s Snackbar, has launched Better Eating Through Chemistry, a blog about his molecular meanderings in the kitchen. Look at that cheese plate!
- beXnlog offers up mini reviews of three slightly under-the-radar spots: Mustard Greens, Cedars and Almaz Cafe (a Meal Ticket favorite).
- Yes, it’s October, but don’t tell Foodaphilia, who’s clinging onto summer with this delicious-sounding gazpacho tilapia with avocado recipe.
- Alexandra Harcharek of Le Petit Cochon has a new blog: A Food Coma, “aimed at twenty-somethings and those interested in cooking fabulous semi-gourmet food on a minimal budget.” Welcome!
- David and Johnny, aka Two Guys on Beer, hit up the 23rd Street Armory for Philly Oktoberfest. Heidi wigs and Yards’ prez Tom Kehoe are involved. Prost.
- Chicago Sun-Times via Serious Eats: Top Chef champ Stephanie Izard is steamed that a Cook County, Ill. GOP-er is using her likeness in the logo of a public access cooking show called What’s Cookin’ with the Republicans! “That really is the girl who won? I’ll make her famous,” the show’s Republican producer (who claims he had no idea who Izard was) is quoted as saying. “Also, I love enforcing blanket stereotypes,” he added. “Now go check on that roast, pick up my dry cleaning and pour daddy some scotch, angelface.”
