Earl of Sandwich
Ask, Green Aislers, and you shall receive! Today we start selling sandwiches, and not just any sandwiches. These butcher paper-bundled beauties are coming from American Meat & Provisions, takeaway arm of chef (and former PW food scribe) Tim McGinnis’s upcoming South Street restaurant project. McG fills Ba Le baguettes with sustainably raised meats and fish he brines, smokes, cures himself, then kits them out with the likes of balsamic-strawberry mostarda, Maker’s Mark syrup, picholine olive tapenade and more.
Check out the full menu after the jump.
And did I mention we’re running samples all day?

Attention, shoppers! Please meet Shamus Jones, ginger-haired pickle maven and head of Brooklyn Brine. If you like pickles, you will like Shamus. We brought the Brooklyn Brine line to Philly this spring, stocking several varieties of vinegar-soaked, unusually spiced, Lancaster-sourced heirloom veg, including the spicy cukes given the seal of approval by Esquire scribe (and Philly girl) Francine Maroukian and a nod in Details recent feature, “Artisanal America” (also included: Green Aisle purveyor Mast Bros. chocolate). “Sorry I’m a little spaced,” Shamus explained when we picked up 150 jars of pickles last Thursday, “I’ve just been drinking Guinness and making lavender asparagus all day.” After the jump, peep a (very-amateur) video we took of Shamus making pickles off-hours in Greenpoint’s Lamb & Jaffy, followed by our current Brooklyn Brine selection.

Intern Sara’s Debate: To Crumble or to Cobbler?
That is the question.
The Crumble...
...and the Cobbler
Whether ’tis nobler to bake the gorgeous local fruit now being sold at Green Aisle into a crumble or into a cobbler is purely a matter of personal taste: are you hankering for a sweet crunchy oatmeal topping or a sweet cornmeal biscuit topping? Whatever your pleasure, both recipes are linked after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

A Plum Deal

When we first moved into our tiny quarters on 1618 East Passyunk last summer, our landlady den mother Angela promised us organically grown plums from her backyard. Actually, she promised us peaches, which is what she calls these garnet beauties in her Spanglitalian accent. Fall moved into winter, and Angela kept talking plums peaches. The weather warmed, and the statuesque tree in her jungle of a backyard started to fruit. Peaches or plums, it was anyone’s guess. Read the rest of this entry »
