>>>Beer is like food to us, so imagine how crestfallen we were to hear that the costs of hops is on the rise, possibly making happy hour less pleasant in the near future. According to this guy, anyway.

Brewmaster at the General Lafayette Inn in Lafayette Hill, Chris Leonard:

“Hops have become priceless, in that we cannot even get any hops whatsoever. The supply has just been completely exhausted for the year.”

We agree with this chap on so many levels. Brewmaster is such an imperial title, hops are priceless, and we’re all completely exhausted for the year. [KYW]
>>>Here’s another claim to fame that we should not take pride in: the birth of candy corn. This from the people who champion wiz as a sandwich topping. Around since 1880, it’s not going anywhere soon. Which is fine, because stale or not, it’s hardly ever edible and yet we’ll much on some while debating the controversial issue. [KYW]
>>>What are you doing on Nov. 12? Auditioning for the Next Food Network Star at 707 in Philly, like you should be. Your candy corn and Peanut Chew french toast stuffed with wiz and drizzled in Yards syrup was unfuckingbelievable. [MenupagesBlog]
