FedNuts Is in the House!

There are not a lot of good places in Philly to get dang good fried chicken. You have the Korean deliciousness of Soho Café in Cheltenham and then there’s the Thursday lunch special amazingness of David Katz at Meme. Most recently, when I am lucky and they’re in town, I can get my hands on one of ?uestlove’s drumsticks but that’s really about it for me*. And don’t even get me started on doughnuts! Well, that was until recently…

Meat-Master Macri Returns to COOK

Last Monday night, COOK welcomed back meat-master Nick Macri of Southwark alongside sommelier Brian Kane of Zahav for a night of delicious, homemade charcuterie and wine pairings.

Nick, who last taught sausage-making at COOK, brought an incredible spread and wealth of knowledge by preparing and then serving a wide range of cured meats. He divvied his menu into categories and explained the processes and the flavors behind his meat magic. Here’s how Nick broke it down to create a highly memorable charcuterie 101.

Drinking and Diving with Brian McManus and Tim McGinnis

Brian McManus, food and music editor at Philadelphia Weekly, is a man who will drink just about anywhere. To this end, he wrote a guidebook to dive bars in Philadelphia, appropriately called – Philadelphia’s Best Dive Bars: Drinking and Diving in the City of Brotherly Love (Buy it now!), and he brought the dive bar experience to COOK for one of our rowdiest classes yet (no surprise there).

A Night in Catalonia with Michael McCaulley and Brett Naylor of Tria

At the end of last week, COOK could have changed its name to DRINK. Last Thursday and Friday, we had back-to-back classes that were primarily booze-focused and, no surprise here, they were two of our liveliest classes yet.

First up, on Thursday, Michael McCaulley, Tria’s Wine Director and Partner, alongside Executive Chef, Brett Naylor, brought the Catalonia region of Spain to COOK for a night of delicious wines and equally delicious food.
