West Chester Prepares For Scrapple Rally This Weekend

When the THAT BLUE YAK hotline rung a few minutes ago I sensed urgency. My senses were spot on. It was no other than WCDish.com's Mary Bigham asking that I help spread the word of a very important rally happening on the Courthouse steps in West Chester tomorrow morning.

This important event is a rally to support delicious scrapple. You read that correctly. Scrapple. The savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings that are combined with cornmeal and flour is an underdog and it needs your help.

So come out tomorrow morning on the corners of Market Street and High Street in West Chester and do your part. No time to make a sign? No problem. Poster board and markers will be available*.

This important event will happen tomorrow, October 18 from 9AM - 10AM.

*And don't even think you're going to use the materials to make a sign about apples, beets or one of the unimportant foods. These supplies are for scrapple signs only.

Chester County Restaurant Festival Pictures ala' That Blue Yak

The 2008 Chester County Restaurant Festival happened in downtown West Chester Sunday and That Blue Yak was there to take these amazing photos. Celebrity Dr Zibbs was on hand to inspect, taste, then raise brow and give thumbs up to the star struck crowd.

Here's looking down Gay Street from High Street:

This was a tasty pepper jack and crab bisque from Ryan's Pub. Excellent!

What have we here? The picture below is a Beef on Weck sandwich from the Whip Tavern (weck as in Kummelweck roll.) Tasty!

I forget who this guy was making the ribs but look at him go!

The picture below is the WCDish booth. There's local celeb and sweatheart Mary Bigham in the red. Is that WCOJ's JT Morgan? Sure is. And may I add that if you haven't heard WCOJ in the morning, JT is great. You can now listen online. I only wish that guy "Marty from Downingtown" would call in more. If they ever track him down, they should have him into the studio. I wonder if it's really a freaky dude or someone else?.... I don't know. .....all I know is tune in because it's good stuff.

..and just a congrats to friend of THAT BLUE YAK winners: Gadaleto's Seafood for best entree (crab cake) and West Chester Scoop for best dessert. (Please thank me with free food next time I enter your establishments).
