The Wheeling Chef
Local guy funds wheelchair fencing dream, with cookies
You should never let a so-called disability get in the way of greatness; just take the example of polio-stricken FDR, or Michael Bolton, who they say is deaf in one ear, although it often seems like both. Overcoming his own to hook you up with cookies so he can achieve his Olympic goals, The Wheeling Chef.

A graduate of the Florida Culinary Institute, The Wheeling Chef (aka Rick Zengler/Chef Wheelz) bakes pimped out English toffee and Scottish shortbread cookies as a means of funding his dream: wheelchair fencing in the US Paralympics, a goal towards which he trains daily and one he says helps him "get in touch with his inner pirate", because everyone ultimately wants to find out who they ARRRR! Cookies come by the dozen in varieties such as crunchy maple bacon, Death By Chocolate (w/ cocoa powder & chocolate shavings), Irish cream, and Guinness; even swanker sandwich-style fillings include Nutella or orange marmalade infused with Grand Marnier, although not Grand Mariner, as nobody wants to taste Jay Buhner. Mr. Wheelz is also dishing handmade English toffees in flavors like pecan, almond, walnut, or even a custom batch using nuts of your choice, though souping them up with the premium ones will depend on how much cashew halve.

Rick will ship or personally deliver your cookie order, and has also set up a cash-saving Shortbread of the Month Club, so you don't end up sitting around wondering How Am I Supposed to Live Without Chew?

Seriously, Michael Bolton played a "Spice-Eyed Drummer" in Dune. Also, if 200 people order a dozen shortbreads it'll help Chef Wheelz raise the $1000 he needs, so get 'em now.

The Lodge
New & vintage gear and housewares along Girard
177 W Girard Ave; Northern Liberties

When the rent gets too high, you can fight the landlord, find a new place, or if you're just awesome enough, grow the coolest beard in decades, add in "damn", and run for governor. For the shop of a former Piazza tenant who couldn't grow mutton chops chose the second option, get to The Lodge.

From one of the guys behind Fresh Melt Water's retail shop, which shuttered due to skyrocketing rent last fall, The Lodge keeps the cutting edge gear of the old digs while bringing new and vintage housewares/ accessories into a dad's-attic-looking shop space, sporting unfinished lumber latticed across the ceiling and white walls covered in taxidermied heads of bucks and rams, whose mounting's pretty impressive given the weight of a Hemi and those big ol' crew cabs. Stocked apparel includes choice vintage selections like a plaid Lacoste/Izod button-down and a super-retro camo job, plus new stuff like FMW's full winter line, tees from AUF stablemate The Fates, a gray wool jacket from Reason with black and white check lining, and a chambray button-down with plaid cuff detailing from Amongst Friends, although hopefully not Ross. Next up's randomness ranging from sweet Navajo-patterned scarves from Native (X), a tricycle/coffee table and distressed woodwork from Manayunk's Workerman, soaps and candles made from natural glycerine, and O'Clock watches featuring a white analog face with a bold-colored poly band, although not a polygon band, aka, Blitzen Trapezoid.

They're also sporting shelves of secondhand knick-knacks (everything from mismatched china to old jewelry and pins) sourced from the dude's mom's attic, old furniture like a mid-century wooden arm chair with broken-in brown cushions, and beyond that, "everything in the shop is for sale" save for the animal heads and the HVAC equipment, presumably because the vent is too damn high.

They're all into unisex (which sounds painful), so there's chick stuff, too. Check the site out at lodge215.com.
