- Trey Popp waxes fantastic about the Hearth of Gold that is Earth Bread + Brewery’s pizza oven. The Mount Airy brewpub does just about everything right, from expertly blistered flat bread pizzas to tough-to-find beer varieties like gruit ale, a brew that uses obscure herbs like mugwort and bog myrtle in place of hops.
- Feeding Frenzy has details on El Camino Real, MangoMoon, Seasons 52 (Cherry Hill Mall, son!) and dealage at Pita Pit.
- Kelly White of Living on the Vedge is a guest critic this week, sharing her take on Mi Lah Vegetarian at 16th and Chancellor. In her eyes, there’s a lot to like (and some room for improvement) on chef Tyler Black’s menu.
- In the Small Bites section, Kelly makes her second print appearance this week, telling you all about the locally produced Gray Kangaroo Liquor Filter. Tim Bratton wants you to eat Three Monkeys Café’s Mighty Joe Young Burger, which is topped with pork roll, and we think we will take his advice. Meal Ticket’s own Felicia D. puts you on to the deliciously shippable BellaPizzelles. I share my thoughts on the Pennsylvania Proud Penn1681 Rye Vodka.
- City Paper editor in chief Brian Howard and arts editor Carolyn Huckabay team up to compile a list of their five favorite Bowls Built for Winter. Do not sleep on Nan Zhou’s sliced beef soup.
- Nikki Volpicelli is coming at you with a New Year’s Eve edition of What’s Cooking. Do you want to drunkenly get loose to “Holiday” with a vodka martini in your hand? Kiss a belly dancer when the clock strikes 12? Read on. (For more NYE events, check out Jakob Dorof’s Agenda column.)
