Join us at American Sardine Bar this Thursday 10/29 for an evening of all things Wenk!

In honor of Philly C***r Week, we’re throwing a lil’ “C***r for a Song” session featuring c***rs from our buds at Ploughman, live music, and a special menu featuring fruit from Three Springs Farm.

We’ll have all kinds of Ploughman C***r - on tap, in the bottle, by the glass, and cans too - including Cherrybyrd, Fawn and Pigeon Hawk alongside our usual favorites.

Chef Michael mhhack is bringing the harvest goodness to the plate with all kinds of fun snacks - both savory and sweet - with Three Springs Fruit Farm at the core of each of them.

The illustrious Ben Wenk, c***rmaker, farmer, and acclaimed* musician, will be providing the tunes, and you will be providing the set list! The premise is simple - buy a c***r, request a song - but who can know what the night will bring? Maybe a few special treats, maybe a few surprises too. Ben says, “You can be as gentle or as cruel as you’d like.”

As always, we’re taking table reservations, but they’re not required, and the bars are always first come, first served. No tickets, no requisites - come when you want, drink what you want, eat what you want.

Party starts at 6pm - we hope to see you!

Autumn's calling, and when the days are this crisp an apple-laced salad is the perfect complement. Our friends at Three Springs Fruit Farm sent over some gorgeous ginger golds which mhhack lightly smoked before tossing with creamy birchrun bleu, toasted pecans, paper-thin onion and mixed greens tossed with a mulled c***r vinaigrette. It's vegetarian. Gluten-free. And the perfect way to start your meal at ASB. Come give it a whirl.
