That's great for getting awesome food at markets but not so great for blog writing. Here are some photos of what's been going on so far this season -<br />

We came across ramps at the Rittenhouse Farmers' Market this past Saturday brought to us fresh by Down Home Acres out of Gilbertsville, PA. Since we already had purchased three bunches of asparagus from Rineer Family Farm on the other side of the market, we decided that we wanted to do something with asparagus and ramps together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
For those who are unfamiliar with ramps or have never had them, a ramp, which is sometimes referred to as a wild leek, is a wild onion native to North America. Although resembling a scallion, the beautiful flat, broad leaves signify the difference. The flavor and smell of ramps is a combination of onions and garlic so if you like those two aromatics, you'll love ramps. </div><div><br />
</div><div>We found a recipe online that incorporated the two along with a fried egg and multi-grain bread. We went with <a href="http://www.joanne-eatswellwithothers.com/2012/05/recipe-pan-fried-asparagus-with-ramps.html">this recipe</a> from Eats Well With Others because we had all of the main ingredients as proceeds from our Rittenhouse haul. How neat it would be to make the recipe with everything from one market. At least we thought it was neat...that's how we are here. </div><div><br />

While I have been busy managing the Rittenhouse Farmers' Market and getting the Far Northeast's first Farmers' Market off the ground, there really is no excuse. I'm just a lazy locavore.<br />
<br />
Last year Chef Andy Bates visited Philadelphia from across the pond and highlighted Philadelphia's local street food scene for an episode of his Food Network UK series -<span style="color: #274e13;"><u> <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.co.uk/tv-shows/andy-bates-american-street-feasts.html">Andy Bates American Street Feasts</a></u></span>. This episode, "Philadelphia - A Legend in Their Own Lunchtime", features many of our favorite local farmers and vendors including:<span style="color: #274e13;"> <u><a href="http://www.luckyoldsouls.com/">Lucky Old Souls</a>,</u> <a href="http://www.zeamayskitchen.com/" style="text-decoration: underline;">Zea May's Kitchen</a></span>, Weavers Way Farms and Sorbello Girls (at the Mt. Airy Village Farmers' Market) and even yours truly makes an appearance, albeit a brief one (16:15 if you are interested). Up until now, you could only view this in the UK so we called and got a DVD sent over.<br />
<br />
Enjoy and tell us if you spot any of your friends!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">As you can probably tell by the lack of posts, the winter was boring and without much local fare to speak of. I guess I can't say it was boring. Plenty of things have happened to me over the winter, and I will insert them into posts as they become relevant. I know you will be waiting with baited breath and rightly so. For instance, take that picture up there, the radishes...the total access I have to them or some just like them can now only be described as unfettered. Five to seven days a week unfettered. So if you are into stuff like that, then I had a really good winter.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Enough about winter though, it's May and this past weekend the Feed stopped by two of Philadelphia's premiere farmers' markets to bask in the glory of all things local. On Saturday we visited the Chestnut Hill Growers' Market and on Sunday we made it out to the Headhouse Farmers' Market, the crown jewel of the Philly farmers' market scene. At both spots we saw more than a couple of old friends, met some new ones and came away with some of the freshest local bounty you can buy in Philadelphia. We also came away full which, lets face it, is pretty much the point. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The aforementioned radishes are only some of the offerings we found at Chestnut Hill. They came courtesy of <a href="http://www.growtaproots.com/index.html">Taproot Farm</a> out of Berks County, Pennsylvania. The fragrance which wafted from their farm stand as you passed by drew you in (I think the heirloom tomato plants were the culprit), and the vestiges of their vegetables kept you at bay while you decided how much of your current and future earnings you are going to deposit here. Makes me happy I have two jobs but a little unhappy that I don't have any more room in the raised bed for those heirloom tomato plants.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Taproot wasn't the only farm flexing farmer muscle. This army below marched in from the <a href="http://www.rineerfamilyfarms.com/">Rineer Family Farm</a> which "<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> </span><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">is nestled in the rolling hills of southern Lancaster County along the banks of the Pequea Creek" (from their site). What a description...picturesque, really. You can almost hear the birds chirping, and see the creek cascading through the valley as you wolf down half the quart in the car on the way home. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Remember when I said we came away full? This market also comes equipped with a food truck that if you have not heard about yet, you will. Well, of course you will because I'm going to write about it now but even if I wasn't, you would be hearing about them anyway. With burgers like what I had on Saturday, Lucky Old Souls will be on the tip of everyone's tongue from Mt. Airy to Society Hill (of course this is in part because they were at Headhouse this Sunday, but that doesn't detract from the food). </span></div>

Everything at <a href="http://www.luckyoldsouls.com/">Lucky Old Souls</a> is housemade. Everything. The burgers? Of course, housemade. The bacon? Housemade. The ketchup? The mayo? Their L.O.S. sauce? Housemade. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a rubber tree in their back yard which they harvest for their truck tires. The ingredients are pretty much all local and the ground meat is grass-fed (from Rineer Farm - keeping it in the market - BOOYAH!). I got a burger with habenero cheese, fried onions and ketchup. The taste of yum still lingers and the only problem was I needed about three more. Glad I'm coming next week. </div>

Speaking of great markets, Sunday was kick-off day for the Headhouse and I needed to say hello to my friends from the Food Trust and farmers I have been frequenting for over three years now. Market manager Katy Wich was happy with the opening but thought that the crowd could have been a bit better. Considering that many of the healthy patrons who would normally frequent the market were running down Broad Street on Sunday, a smaller than expected crowd can be tolerated. However, those who didn't show up missed some beautiful beautiful food. Rather than bastardize the bounty with words, here is a small photo expose':<br />

I mentioned the other day how much my family loves pumpkins and how we have been using the proceeds of Fall's pumpkin bounty to make baked goods galore throughout these not-so-cold winter months. We found one of our favorite recipes on <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/blueberry-pumpkin-muffins/">Allrecipes.Com</a> and have tweaked it enough to make it a super healthy snack for the Philly Food Feed Family - Blueberry and Pumpkin Muffins. When I first found this recipe my wife thought it would be an odd combination but since we became blueberry freezing fanatics over the summer, we have an abundance of the blue buggers. I just typed in pumpkin and blueberry into Google and the first recipe that came up has been what we have been going with. I substituted part of the flour with wheat germ and add flax meal as well. Antioxidants (blueberries/flax), Fiber (pretty much all of the dry ingredients, and Beta Carotene (from the pumpkin) makes this recipe healthy as well as delicious. Here is the recipe we have been using - Enjoy!<br />
<br />
1/4 Cup of Wheat Germ <br />
1/2 Cup of All Purpose White Flour <br />
3/4 Cup of Quick Cooking Oates<br />
1/3 Cup of Flax Meal <br />
1/2 Cup of White Sugar <br />
2 tsp. of Baking Powder <br />
3/4 tsp. of Salt<br />
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon <br />
1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg<br />
1/2 Cup of Pureed Pumpkin <br />
1/2 Cup of Milk<br />
1 Egg<br />
1/4 Cup of Butter, melted<br />
3/4 Cup of Blueberries <br />
<br />
Directions<br />
<br />
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease and flour muffin pan or use paper liners.<br />
2.Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. <br />
3.In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin, milk, egg, and butter. <br />
4.Gradually stir in the flour mixture, just until all ingredients are moistened. <br />
5.Fold in the blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling to the top.<br />
6.Bake in preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. <br />
<br />
If you make this, please let us know. If you take a picture, even better! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
This year, one of my New Year's resolutions was to post more on this blog; what better way to start working on that resolution than by taking a trip to the <a href="http://www.farmshow.state.pa.us/default.aspx">96th annual Pennsylvania Farm Show</a>? <br />
On Wednesday, we packed up the car and took a trip to Harrisburg to take in the sights and sounds (and tastes) of Pennsylvania farming at it's finest. The PA Farm Show is the largest indoor agriculture expo in the country with an attendance of about 400,000 people yearly. When we arriv</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">ed, it seemed like all of those 400,000 people were there at once. </span><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The car</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> ride was over two and a half hours long and the baby needed to eat (yeah, the baby...) so when we got there we decided to explore the Food Court first. So did everyone else evidently but that was okay. Although crowded, the lines were fast and there were plenty of places to stand and eat. In fact, the long tables that were set up for eating actually promoted conversation between strangers. Strangers whose camaraderie</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> began and ended with which vendor they purchased their meal from and "Wow I'm going to that stand for dinner!" I decided to honor Pennsylvania's foremost fungus, the mushroom. Thanks to the PA Mushroom Growers Cooperative, I was able to enjoy some deep fried breaded mushrooms and a chaser of some cream of mushroom soup. I know, much mushrooms but the proceeds go to the American Mushroom Institute</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">which supports mushroom growers throughout the country. In fact, the income from all of the food court fair goes to support the various Pennsylvania Agricultural Commodity Organizations and we were going to help as many of them as our waistlines allowed. Sarah and Ethan did their part to help the PA Potato Growers Cooperative with their copious consumption of fresh cut french fries. Sarah also helped me with my mushroom bounty. It was a farm show family affair indeed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After lunch it was off to the Large Arena for some Kids Tractor Pulling and Tractor appreciation. We didn't arrive in time to enter Ethan into the Tractor Pulling, but it was cute to watch young kids peddling their hearts out to win a tractor toy and the affection and adulation of the audience. While that was going on we decided to tour the infield and appreciate all of the various tractors lined up for the Tractor Square Dance. No, we didn't see the actual square dance (would have been nice) but we did see some fine pieces of machinery, I tell you what:</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Aaq10m2-X4/TxBWjQ413NI/AAAAAAAAGrE/UWndgYhLXe4/s1600/farm8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Aaq10m2-X4/TxBWjQ413NI/AAAAAAAAGrE/UWndgYhLXe4/s640/farm8.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">After much tractor appreciation, it was time to seek out some livestock. We promised Ethan animals on this trip and he was not to be trifled with. Good for us that this expo did not want for animals. As long as you could tolerate the odor, you could mingle with cows and chickens and turkeys and pigs and goats and sheep...you get the picture. Never had I seen so many cows in one place in my life. It was utterly ridiculous (yep, I went there). Ethan was bombarded with bovines; at one point a cow hit him in the face with it's tail. I guess that was the cow's way of telling him to moooove over. The cows didn't have to tell us...if I ever see a cow poop again in my life, it will be too soon. Ethan liked that part however, and demanded throughout the rest of the day to see more cows "pooping and peeing". On a more serious note, when you go to the Farm Show, you can't help but learn about the aspects of farming that you usually take for granted. Continuing with the cows, we were surprised to learn that there are 7,304 dairy farms in Pennsylvania, home to over 541,000 dairy cows. Of those dairy farms, 98% of them are family owned and operated. This information was provided by the PA Dairymen's Association, as well as fried cheese cubes on a stick (that was dinner, along with pulled pork nachos...slimming). Moovelous! (I know, definitely going overboard).</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">After cows came chickens, goats, rabbits, alpacas (yes, alpacas)...there were so many animals I can't chronicle them all - this would be less of a blog post and more of a novel. We went without consulting a map and it seemed like whenever you thought you were at the end of a hall there would be an opening to another hall...it was endless. All I have mentioned so far is the animals and as we all know, farming in Pennsylvania also consists of fruits and vegetables. And of course, with over 10,000 exhibitions we were bound to come across some of their offerings. Little did we know, we would also come across an old friend of the feed...Ben Wenk (actually we did know, he has been regaling his Facebook followers all week of his Farm Show exploits. It was more of a little did we know if we could find him). We caught up with him on the Main Floor selling, you guessed it, apples! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Ben was splitting time between his Main Hall apple selling and the food court where he was dishing out apple dumplings, caramel apples, dried apples...pretty much anything apple under the sun. Ben's fruitful labor (ha ha, I'm on a roll) was on behalf of the <a href="http://shaponline.org/">State Horticultural Association of Pennsylvania (SHAP)</a> and its</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> major benefactor, the </span><a href="http://agsci.psu.edu/frec" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Penn State College of Agricultural Science Fruit Research Extension Center</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">located in Biglerville, PA, which happens to be in Ben's backyard. From their website: "In addition to providing site-specific conditions for research, the facility increases opportunities for growers, consultants, consumers, and students to observe experiments and to consult with scientists. Extension specialists apply experimental findings to local conditions, and, in turn, make suggestions to scientists about new research needs." For the laymen reading (and writing) this post, centers like this one help ensure the best quality fruit hits our lips through research, experiments and information sharing. For those who just think farmers' only spend part of year at their craft, Ben Wenk is an example of how that just isn't so. Next time you see him at the Headhouse, thank him for his commitment. I was thanking him on the way home while I was chowing down on a famous </span><a href="http://threespringsfruitfarm.com/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Three Springs Fruit Farm</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> Honeycrisp Apple.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Speaking of fruits and vegetables, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about all the various pumpkins we saw at the Show. We love pumkins in this house whether for ornamental purposes or for cooking. We have been making pumpkin muffins with blueberries from the summer all winter long. In honor of those muffins, Ethan posed with a pumpkin that would have us making muffins between now and when Chelsea Clinton is President.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">So there you have it. I mean, I could write so much more but I'm going to let some more photos tell the story. It was really a great time for our family at the Farm Show. If you have a chance to check it out this weekend, it's worth the trip. Pennsylvania farmers are the best and this Farm Show proves it!</span><br />

The acai berry is one of those foods.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The acai berry is renowned for an array of
properties and one such property is its high antioxidant qualities. The acai berry can be taken in liquid or raw
form and can be found in an assortment of health food stores worldwide. One place to look is <a href="http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/categories.asp?cid=136"> http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/</a>,
the health food store often has a variety of offers on and you will often see
deals such as buy three products, get the cheapest free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Healthy snacking is a great way to stop the
cravings and next time you reach for the chocolate, try reaching for a healthy
food instead; such as nuts, berries, and dried fruits. All are high in fibre,
vitamins and antioxidants and will help you keep up a balanced diet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Berries have a variety of qualities and
acai berries are one of the more sought after due to one particular
quality. These unique berries in fact
promote weight loss and the best bit is they are also completely organic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Berries, nuts and dried fruits are all
available in health food stores and are a much better alternative to the likes
of greasy and fried foods. The work
schedules of today often mean that we work longer hours and the work vending
machine becomes extremely tempting on many occasions! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Try taking a few healthy snacks to work
instead of your purse, this way you won't be tempted by the unhealthy snacks on
offer and can instead enjoy tasty and healthy goodness as appose to sweets,
crisps, chocolate bars. All of the
listed will only leave you feeling bloated and unsatisfied rather than good about
your body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Acai berries are not only tasty; they are
good for you & what other reason do you need to invest in the super
fruit? <o:p></o:p></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00332353843855919849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593331274678891870.post-65030288718639114202011-10-16T09:25:00.001-04:002011-10-16T09:38:58.968-04:00Fresh Food at Broad and Olney<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WLQbaUv3M-c/TprX0TF6nNI/AAAAAAAAFXc/AJVsOoPJ2gI/s1600/ben+922.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WLQbaUv3M-c/TprX0TF6nNI/AAAAAAAAFXc/AJVsOoPJ2gI/s640/ben+922.JPG" width="600" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: transparent;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Septa's Olney Transportation Center dominates the scenery at the intersection of Broad Street and Olney Avenue and a vast array of amenities are available to those switching from bus to subway or vice versa. A person can have a donut, go to the bank, get a burger, shop at the dollar store, or even purchase a wig; the choices are practically limitless. Now, the frequenters of the area have a healthy and fresh choice to add to their list – produce from the weekly farmers’ market. Sponsored by the Food Trust, this market is part of the Get Healthy Philly initiative launched last year by the Philadelphia Department of Health in effort to combat the city’s growing obesity problem. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Throughout the summer and now into the fall, this market has provided area residents and commuters a cornucopia of freshly picked fruits and vegetables locally grown in Lancaster County. This season’s bounty has included green peppers, eggplant, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, collard greens, kale, tomatoes, apples, peaches, plums and more. Hillside Farm, the purveyor at the market is helmed by Amish farmer John King and his family who also bring fresh baked goods to the market as well as cheese and yogurt. While the current fall season has seen the end of some of the fruit, apples are still plentiful and will be until the market ends. Most of the vegetables listed are still available and will be available until the end of the market as well. </span><br />

Philly Food Bucks help those with ACCESS cards save money at the farmers’ market. For every 5 dollars spent at the ma</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">rket with the ACCESS card, you receive 2 dollars back in Philly Food Bucks for more fruits and vegetables. </span></span></div><div style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />

The Olney Transportation Center farmers’ market is located at Broad Street and Olney Avenue and is open every Wednesday from 2PM to 6PM until November 23</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 6.6pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">rd</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

This is a great moment for those in Northeast Philadelphia who are underserved as far as producer only farmers' markets are concerned. Some local press was there to cover the event - check out some of the pictures posted by the <a href="http://frankfordgazette.com/2011/07/27/frankford-farmers-market-2/">Frankford Gazette</a>!<br />
<br />
The market runs from 2pm to 6pm every Wednesday through October. You can pick up locally grown produce on your way home from work.

The other day I was driving to work after skipping breakfast. Because I am what I and my family affectionately refers to as a “Diabeto”, it was necessary for me to eat on the road. I grabbed a peach purchased at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MargerumsHerbs">Margerum’s Herbs</a> at Clark Park (43rd and Baltimore Ave.) and was on my way. I feel the need to mention that I was wearing a newly purchased dress shirt. As I hit 95, I fished into my lunch bag and pulled out the aforementioned peach and proceeded to take a bite.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">This peach was so damn juicy that by the time I arrived at work, my new shirt was peached and my hands were sticky and my face was sticky and it was dumb to skip breakfast at home. Peach was good though, really good. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Equally as good was the peach I sampled at the Oxford Valley Farmers’ Market (900 E. Howell St.) last Thursday from Eden Farms farmer Joe Christophel. I was privy to the first peach of the market and it was like biting into a pitted piece of Heaven. I made sure I told any customer I saw and probably sold a few peaches myself that way. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Headhouse Farmers' Market (2nd and Lombard St.) is not immune to peach fever. I made sure to stop by and see my old friend Ben Wenk at <a href="http://www.threespringsfruitfarm.com/">Three Springs Fruit Farm</a>. After biting into the first one of the many yellow peaches I brought home, I remembered why I frequent his stand throughout the summer. When the doughnut peaches come, I camp out like they are Dylan tickets. Nobody camps out for tickets anymore, but you get the point.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So I guess the point here is that peaches are everywhere. And for those on a health kick, peaches are a great source of Vitamin C. Taste good and good for you. Peachy!<br />

That is not a typo – I am now officially a celebrity.<span> </span>And if that doesn’t move you, I will go even further to say that I won the grilling showdown and my charity, The Food Trust, received a $5000.00<span> </span>donation as a result.<span> </span>While all of this is awesome news, my wife is now in the market for a contractor to widen our doorways due to my increased head size. Remember that scene in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” when the Grinch’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4F6b_199dQ">heart grew really big really fast</a>? Imagine my already big bald head instead of the Grinch’s tiny heart and you’ll get the picture. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Though the competition was stiff – <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LoriWilsonTV">Lori Wilson</a> , anchor at NBC 10 and Shannon Shaffer, blogger at <a href="http://forthemommas.com/">fortheMommas.com</a>, ultimately I prevailed.

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal">John Esch wiped his brow and took a hard swig of his water bottle. He has just traveled over three hours, from the outskirts of Gettysburg, arriving at 900 E. Howell Street – the site of the Oxford Circle Farmers’ Market. He, along with two other vendors, braved the near 100⁰ heat last Thursday to bring farm fresh fruits and vegetables and baked goods to the people of the great Northeast. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Last Thursday was the opening day of the Oxford Circle Farmers’ Market as well as the opening day of two other farmers’ markets across the city; one at Norris Square (West Susquehanna Street) and Palmer Park (Frankford Ave. at East Palmer Street). This totals six markets operating on Thursdays this summer sponsored by The Food Trust, a local non-profit dedicated to the proliferation of healthy, nutritious food, throughout the Philadelphia area. Although turnout throughout the city was light, it was to be expected considering the oppressive heat. However, those who were able to attend were rewarded with freshly picked produce from local Pennsylvania producers. These markets, as well as a host of others, will be going on throughout the summer and fall. If you are a fan of seasonal produce, it would behoove you to check out one or more of these markets. <a href="http://www.foodtrustmarkets.org/markets.html">Food Trust Market List</a><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This morning Stu Franks and I ventured to Drexel University's campus to meet and interview Tom McCusker, owner of the ubiquitous Honest Tom's Taco Shop. Two Sundays ago, Tom's truck fed famished foodies at the Headhouse. The Sunday after that, he provided punks provisions at the Punk Rock Flea Market at 9th and Callowhill. The rest of the week he was and still can be found at Drexel, the Parkway, Clark Park in West Philadelphia and soon - permanent business (one without wheels) back in West Philly. I wasn't trying to flex my perspicacity when I said ubiquitous; this guy is everywhere.</span></div>

A trend that originated on the West Coast, the food trucks have rolled their way east and are now a fixture in most major metropolitan areas. What used to be known, albeit not so affectionately as a "roach coach", the food truck has gained an aura of legitimacy thanks in no small part to offerings like the one pictured to the right. Thanks to fresh local ingredients and a committed local entrepreneur, some lucky residents of Philadelphia are tasting tacos for breakfast. And after enjoying more than a couple ourselves, it's easy to understand how the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;">The National Restaurant Association proclaims that the food truck category is projected to top <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_763022275">$630 million in nationwide revenue in 2011, up 3.6 percent from 2010, which would outstrip the 2.5 percent growth </a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://mobile-cuisine.com/off-the-wire/food-trucks-in-the-drivers-seat/">estimate for the entire restaurant business</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;">. When we told Honest Tom about these figures, he couldn't believe it, although the facts belie his disbelief. Case in point - he has been so successful with his truck that he will be opening up his first "brick and mortar" establishment this August. </span></span><br />

A native of Delaware County, he graduated from Drexel University with a degree in Hospitality Management and discovered the breakfast taco (see above) while in Austin Texas. He came back to Philly and started up Honest Tom's with his brother Matt, although per Tom, his brother Matt "</span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">has left the business to pursue wedded bliss with his lovely fiancee'..." McCusker isn't short on help though, he recently hired Phil, whose interests Include (per the </span></span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Honest-Toms-Taco-Shop/88341692048" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: inherit;">Honest Tom's Facebook</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> page), cold beer, hot legs, and Aerosmith. Funny guy this Honest Tom...Speaking of Facebook, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the role of social networking in the rise of the mobile vendor, and McCusker acknowledges the value of sites like Facebook and Twitter, especially when it comes to sharing his schedule with the Honest Tom's faithful. For instance, I wasn't sure if he would be at Clark Park the Saturday before Memorial Day. I checked his Facebook and boom - closed Friday, Clark Park on Saturday - Real time updates for free for a mobile eating establishment! I keep hearing that the rules have changed and in the "new economy" you need to become innovative to survive; by utilizing social networking and offering a product that is considered gourmet fare, the food truck vendor can navigate through the pitfalls of the recession and bypass the normal start-up costs of a sit-in eatery as well as the cost of marketing said eatery. Heck, even this blog post, one of the cornerstones of social networking, is a commercial for Honest Tom. While we are on the subject of commercials, I mentioned I came to see Tom with Stu Franks, whom you may recognize from his </span></span><a href="http://phillyfoodfeed.blogspot.com/2011/05/out-of-hibernation.html" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: inherit;">groundbreaking interview</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> with Three Springs Fruit Farm's Ben Wenk two weeks ago. He has put together a video about Honest Tom that continues to glorify the Taco Truck King...enjoy </span></span></span><br />
