We were impressed back in October 2012 when we learned that Center City red meat emporium Del Frisco’s had purchased nearly $900,000 worth of wine and spirits through the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board the year prior. But in our most recent report, Del Frisco’s (and two other spots) break the $1 million mark.

Four Local Restaurants on United States of Bacon Tonight

Posted by Foobooz on February 25th, 2013

Tonight at 7 p.m. on Destination America, formerly Discovery Home & Leisure, is featuring four local restaurants on United States of Bacon. As you might expect there’s a ton of bacon on the show but we have to raise an eyebrow over the inclusion of McNally’s Tavern’s Schmitter. Surely a great gluttonous sandwich, but as the diagram above shows, bacon is not a normal part of the Schmitter. Now bacon is available for a dollar add-on, but who needs bacon when you already have steak, grilled salami, cheese, fried onions, tomatos, special sauce and even more cheese?

PYT’s Tommy Up loves himself some Han Dynasty. So this week his Northern Liberties burger spot is offering a special burger created by Han Chiang himself. The burger is a blend of dan-dan sauce marinated pork belly and beef patty topped with spicy cucumbers and dan-dan aioli, served on a soft Chinese bun. Each burger is accompanied by a side of sichuan fries.

Get it now, because this special won’t last forever.

PYT Makes Saturday Night Live, SNL Makes a Joke at Philly’s Expense

Posted by Foobooz on January 28th, 2013

PYT’s bacon taco shell made The Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live this week. Host Seth Meyers also took a shot at Philadelphia in the piece, but then we wouldn’t expect anything more from the hacks on Saturday Night Live.

Introducing the Chick-Phil-Gay at PYT: “Now With 100% Less Hatred”

Posted by Jason Sheehan on August 3rd, 2012

That whole Chick-fil-A/gay marriage controversy? It’s never going to go away. Over on the Philly Post, Victor Fiorillo reports on the era of the “Protest Sandwich”–which begins with the new Chick-Phil-Gay being done by (who else?) Tommy Up from PYT.

Unsurprisingly, Tommy has a few things to say about it:

It’s a boneless breast of chicken seasoned to perfection, hand-breaded, cooked in peanut oil and served on a toasted, buttered bun with dill pickle chips. Served with waffle fries, it’s oddly familiar, but with 100% less hatred. For every Chick-Phil-Gay we sell, we’ll donate $1 to the Mazzoni Center, an organization that provides counseling and health services for LGBTQ Philadelphians. Oh, and while you’re here, try one of our famous hand-spun adultshakes. They’re the gayest shakes in town.

Check out the full Chick-Phil-Gay story over on the Philly Post. And then show your support for free speech, gay rights, delicious chicken sandwiches and an end to idiocy by running on down to PYT to try one for yourself.

PYT Getting In The Summer Spirit

Posted by Jason Sheehan on June 22nd, 2012

So we were having this debate recently on burgers and high-end burgers and bar burgers and what, really, could be done to the burger that hasn’t already been done. Because it was a slow day around the office, talk turned to semantics–to specific definitions of what a burger could (and could not) be–and during the course of this, we wondered whether a burger had to be made of beef in order to consider it a burger. And if not, what meat could be used and what could be done to it before it left the realm of burger-dom and became something…else.

Needless to say, we didn’t settle anything on that day. The question is still very much up for debate. But in the meantime, the good folks over at PYT are pushing the boundaries of definition with the summer addition of shrimp, lobster and crab burgers to their ever-changing specials menu. The snap above leads me to think that a burger certainly can be made of sea critters–of chopped jumbo shrimp and lobster/crab cakes. Mostly because it just looks so delicious.
