Howdy, Buckaroos! Welcome to the Foobooz Monday information round-up. The solar is shining, the snow is melting, and I have just bought a number of quick points for you this week to get you wholly up-to-day on all the Philly food information that matters.
This week looks to be all about collaborations and benefits, so let us kick points off this week with information from two of the most preferred places to eat in town inviting some of the biggest chefs in Philly into their kitchens.
A Double-Shot of Collaboration Dinners
Know what is superior than an ongoing collaboration venture involving some of the city’s greatest chefs?
TWO ongoing collaboration jobs. Which is precisely what we have to announce this week.
To start with, there’s this 1: a.kitchen in Rittenhouse has declared a entire new series of burger nights with curated treats, compact plates, wine pairings and, of program, unique burgers from some of the most important names in city.
They are kicking factors off with Joe Beddia on Tuesday, March 22nd. He’ll be cooking together with a.kitchen chef Eli Collins, offering “a handful of Pizzeria Beddia-impressed smaller plates, a bespoke Beddia Burger developed completely for this function, and a Beddia-curated collection of wines by the glass.” Joe will also be acting as visitor sommelier for the evening, and his burger will be on the board alongside Eli’s now outstanding burger. Here’s what the menu appears to be like suitable now:
- Hoagie Gougere
- Caesar Salad – gem lettuce, good anchovies, torn bread, sheep’s milk cheese

A.kitchen area welcomes Melissa McGrath from Sweet Amalia Oysters on April 19th, Amanda Shulman from Her Place Supper Club on Might 3rd, Jon Adams from Rival Bros. on May 17th and Yehuda Sichel from Huda on June 7th. So, you know, mark your calendars or what ever.
Is not it awesome to be creating designs yet again?
Upcoming up, we have a different collaboration project—this a single a returning sequence that we have talked about before.
More than at Stina, chef Bobby Saritsoglou is bringing again his charity supper collection that I told y’all about again in September of final 12 months. And this time about, he’s kicking points off with a multi-course prix fixe reward supper cooked in collaboration with a person of the most important names in Philly ideal now, Kevin Yanaga.
Yanaga by now has Izakaya by Yanaga in Fishtown. He’s finding ready to open up its sister cafe, Omakase by Yanaga, correct future doorway. And he’s going to be hitting the kitchen at Stina on Tuesday, March 22nd (yeah, exact same day as the Beddia burger collab) for an $85 prix fixe to gain the Asian Arts Initiative. Once more, the menu appears to be like very fantastic. Dig it:
- Scallop sashimi
tapenade/ ponzu sauce/ - Rice crispy
spicy tuna/ crispy sushi rice - Nakatsu kara-age fried hen
Boneless fried rooster/ sriracha buffalo - Umami cuke
spicy sesame soy sauce marinade cucumber - Duck Onigiri
duck confit/ mochi rice/ soy tare sauce - Salmon chirashi-sushi (salmon sashimi over sushi rice)
chirashi sauce/ sushi rice/ nori - Pork tan-tan-mazemen (soupless ramen noodle)
pork meat sauce/ spicy sesame sauce/ egg - Matcha-tea-infused cake
Matcha-infused tea cake, milk honey custard
You can also tack on a $15 sake flight from Sango Kura, the only sake brewery in Pennsylvania. Which is pretty great, considering I didn’t even know this condition experienced ANY sake breweries.
Anyway, you can make reservations for the Kevin Yanaga/Asian Arts charity dinner at Stina ideal here. Stina did 3 of these collaboration profit dinners past drop, and now they are ramping again up all over again with a total new series. Yanaga is just the first. I’ll continue to keep you up to date as a lot more details arrives in.
Oh, and that reminds me. Speaking of burger news…

MilkBoy Does TakeOut Now
You know ’em for their booze, treats, dwell tunes and breakfast sandwiches, but MilkBoy is obtaining into the takeout match with a new expansion at the South Avenue location.
MilkBoy TakeOut is a new “takeaway-only module” with a make-your-individual-burger menu made by culinary director Yun Fuentes. I practically picture this as a little box outside of MilkBoy that Yun life in, granting burger-formed needs to any one who whispers them into the box.
In accordance to MilkBoy’s marketing team, this is NOT how it performs. But maybe they just don’t think in magic like I do. Possibly they never want their Mondays stuffed with whimsy and pleasure. I do not know. But in accordance to them, it is generally an addition to the existing MilkBoy South Road spot, showcasing burgers, waffle fries and a prolonged list of customization options that will permit folks to generate the burger of their desires.
Speaking of which, they are also launching a “Burger of the Month Burger” (the BOMB) where burger enthusiasts are encouraged to use the many topping solutions to make (and identify) a really killer sandwich, then snap a photo and tag @milkboysouthstreet on Instagram. Best one will get a $25 present certification and the honor of remaining the BOMB of the thirty day period.
MilkBoy is celebrating the launch of MilkBoy TakeOut on Sunday, March 20th, by offering away 100 free samples of their “Hit Single”—the signature MilkBoy burger with a single beef patty, Tommy Sauce (their signature sauce named after co-founder and musician Tommy Joyner), red onion, MilkBun, and a sidekick pickle. The giveaway starts off at 11 a.m., but I’d imagine about lining up early if you are interested
Transferring on …
Baking For Ukraine
Night time Kitchen Bakery is stepping up this thirty day period with “Hamantaschen for Humanity”—a fundraiser for Polish Humanitarian Action to aid out these who are providing convenience to the refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.
All month extensive, Evening Kitchen area will be selling hamantaschen and specific Flower Ability cupcakes, with 20% of profits likely to PHA to aid all those at the border. It is a minimal bit of “bakery solidarity,” from just one of the city’s most very well-recognized bakeries and cafes, and a concrete detail you can do to enable the refugees. And also, you get cupcakes. So it’s get-gain.
The Leftovers
The Wayward — the cafe in the Cover by Hilton resort in Midtown Village — has a new crew in the kitchen area and a new menu ready to go.
Exec chef Carlos Cartagena arrives to Philly by way of NYC and the kitchens of Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Richard Sandoval. Sous chef Barbara Voltaire (also from New York, and Haiti right before that) is backing him up. And collectively, they’re accomplishing a complete farm-to-desk French menu, together with a re-introduced breakfast, brunch and satisfied hour. They’ve bought croque madames and Kismet bagels at breakfast, duck confit and butcher-cut steaks with mushroom duxelle at supper, and petit brioche sandwiches for pleased hour — which include a shorter rib with horseradish aioli and fried shallots that looks particularly awesome.
So, you know, if you’re in the community and wanting for a bite, now you have acquired yet another selection.
If you’re an artist and a lover of Troegs Brewing, I’ve bought some news for you. ’Tis the time the moment yet again for the annual “Art of Troegs” contest wherever the brewery asks all the creative (and drinky) people out there to post performs of artwork (in quite a lot any medium) influenced by their beers, their employees, their labels … whatever moves you.
In many years past, Troegs has used these submissions as beer labels, to design and style signs for the brewery, even to re-think about the iconic Nugget Nectar artwork. So yeah, they’re significant about this. Because they customarily get so numerous entries, they throw a entire-ass gallery exhibit. And because it’s a contest, the winner will get $500.
You can look at out all the facts here, but maintain in intellect that all entries have to be received by Could 1st. So place those people Crayolas to get the job done, cats and kittens. And who is aware? You could close up beer-well-known.
Lastly this 7 days, two quick items:
Very first, I’ve been hearing rumors about a significant opening coming incredibly before long — one particular that we’ve been ready on for months now and did not count on to be taking place rather so shortly. I’m searching into it as we talk, and hope to have some huge news for you in following week’s column. So keep tuned for that.
And speaking of major information, what with spring on the horizon and items hunting a small rosier for the sector soon after a few extensive, challenging a long time, we right here at Philly Mag and Foobooz Planet HQ have made a decision that it’s time to toss a bash. A Big bash. A bash whole of food and booze and twinkle lights and 500 or so of our closest pals.
So preserve your peepers on this site in excess of the upcoming pair times for the facts, okay? It’s gonna be one thing particular, and I preferred you standard visitors to be the initially to know about it.
That is all till up coming week, folks. See ya when I see ya.
