Ale Street News Online

Is it me or are more and more of our brew pubs making some great beers but serving up food that mostly comes off the Sysco truck. Why is it so hard to cut a potato and fry it to make real french fries as opposed to trucked in frozen fries. Some exceptions are Fergies in Philadelphia whci has the best mussels I have ever had, and the sister pub Monks with its delicious home made frites and a duck salad to die for. Last night I ate at the Appalachian Brew pub in Harrisburg. I was served a great cask conditioned milk stout and a plate of food where only the salad dressing was made on the premises. As we move to real ales hopefully we can move to REAL food. I think in review of Brew pubs there should be a special designation for pubs selling locally sourced food and really home made food.
What do others think?
