Posted by Alex Tewfik on December 3rd, 2012

After 16 years of service, Sam’s Grille has shut down. The family favorite bistro in the Wynnewood Shopping Center has gone dark and a sign on the door thanks their loyal customers for their years of patronage. Don’t fret too much, though; owner Susan Schlisman’s center city locations, Smokin’ Betty’s and Devil’s Alley, are still alive and kickin’.

On The Ground, Day Two: Raining Whiskey From Very Far Away

Posted by Jason Sheehan on April 12th, 2011

In which the new food editor wanders around his brand-new home and eats whatever strikes his fancy…

I’d done just about as much time sitting behind a desk as I could. I’d filled out paperwork, tried (and failed) to memorize a dozen new phone numbers and passwords, made potentially life-altering decisions about medical coverage, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and what I want it to say on my business cards (Jason Sheehan: Amateur Pie-Eating Champion, ex-Fry Cook, Professional Sonofabitch), and I’d had enough. Officing has never been my strong suit. There always seems to be something more interesting, more vital, more not-sitting-on-my-fat-ass-and-staring-at-a-computer-y that I could be doing. There was a whole city out there filled with fried chicken, dumplings, dirty-water hot dogs, tacos, cheesesteaks, ice cream and foie gras, and I’m stuck in here trying to figure out withholding allowances? Fuck that. It was time to go.

“So what are you going to do now?” someone asked me, standing in the door of my office while I hastily shoved what were probably very important papers into unmarked drawers. And I shrugged, looked around, said, “I dunno. Think I’m gonna go take a walk and see what kind of trouble I can get into.”

Their Satanic Majesties Request

Posted by Kirsten Henri on January 15th, 2008

Drew Lazor has another menu exclusive on The Clog from the soon-to-open Devil’s Den in South Philly.

With a Devil’s Alley already established in town, we’re wondering what made the proprietors choose such a similar name for what is not an especially different concept? This happens quite a bit in Philly – witness the Tria, Trio, Triada confusion or the prevalance of BYOBs that start with M. Or Italian BYOBs.
