Philly Food Truck: Prime Stache
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor It’s been a minute since my last Food Truck profile. I don’t have a list of next trucks to feature, nor am I constantly reaching out to the food truck community, I just kinda let it find me, like this time. I went to Prime Stache (110 Chestnut Street) with my friend Teresa after the movie Heaven is For Real (click for T&T post) and we closed the joint, last two people to leave the restaurant; they just happened to have a couple of sandwiches left over from an event, and they offered them to us to take home. The Ron Burgundy = 4…

Once the Movie vs Once the Musical
Tinsel & Tine at “Once” the Musical Opening Night Once, winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical and winner of the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, kicked off the Broadway Philadelphia season at the Academy of Music, and I got to see it opening night! I wanted to do an in-depth comparison of the film vs. the Broadway show and had planned to stream the movie Once before opening night, as I hadn’t seen this charming little film since it was in theaters way back in 2007. That was the plan, however, I was running around doing the Philadelphia Film Festival, started a new job that’s…

The Philadelphia Film Festival Award Winning Films (#PFF22)
Last night I attended The Philadelphia Film Festival Closing Night film, Jason Reitman’s Labor Day – Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin have a tremendous amount of chemistry in this movie (review to be included in my #PFF22 round up). As usual, I didn’t see any of the award winning films. The Philadelphia Film Society is showing them all again today, Saturday 10/26 and tomorrow Sunday 10/27. So, I will see Vic +Flo Saw a Bear, but I’ve got too much else on my plate this weekend to see any of the others. Would love your comments on any of the winning films listed below or anything you saw during the…

Ode to: NATIONAL COFFEE DAY (Best Coffee To Go)
TODAY IS NATIONAL COFFEE DAY! Coffee is my drug of choice – I love the ritual of it, the smell of it brewing, the taste on its own, but particularly with a goodie or pizza or at a diner with a burger. In fact, I normally ask the waitress to hold my coffee until the meal comes because so many foods taste better with coffee. Drinking coffee gives me an elated feeling, not just alert, but for about an hour or so I feel actually happy and then a nice level off to normal.
