Submitted by jstudent on Thu, 2008-05-08 14:35.
[ ] The still new Chipotle (133 W. Lancaster Ave., Ardmore) is offering free burritos and beverages from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. today (May 8). (Food and Drinq)
Fwiw- Even if you have no interest in a free burrito, click the link for a cool web site.
[ ] Required reading as of May 15: Gregory Pizzoli and Ansley Joe’s The Pizza Book: An Illustrated Guide to Philadelphia’s Best and Worst Slices ($25). The UArts MFA students have reviewed the city’s pizzerias “from pizza quality, bathroom cleanliness, average slice prices, customer service, beverage variety - everything you could ever want to know. We also included all the info you need to check them out for yourself - phone numbers, hours, delivery minimums - absolutely everything.” (The Clog)
No indication of rankings but our call is: 1. Tony’s 2.Tacconelli’s 3. Lorenzo’s (Not South St.)…And we’re assuming Trenton is not included.
[ ] Five things you need to know about the new Southern-style Chicken Sandwich at McDonald’s.
- It’s priced under $3; you get what you pay for….Barely.
- The chicken does not poke forth from the bun, nor can it be called girth-y in any way.
- The seedless bun made the sandwich seem high school cafeteria-style, not Southern-style.
- There were two, pitiful paper-thin pickle slices on the chicken cutlet. That’s it. No other sauce, condiment, relish, etc. Just two feeble pickle slices.
- Philly EDGE received said sandwich via a coupon it was given for a morning service snafu a day earlier. Service was not markedly better this time.
