New spot for the Monsù crew

Just got off the horn with Peter McAndrews (Modo Mio, Paesano's, Monsù), who recently wrapped filming with Aaron Sanchez for Food Network. "We made him two spicy dishes — a Sicilian bouillabaisse and rigatoni with harissa, mozzarella, mint and lemon — for a new show," says the chef, who after cooled Sanchez down with prickly pear and blood orange panna cotta. That's nice, but McAndrews dropped a much more interesting tidbit during our convo: He's opening a brick-oven pizzeria, wine and beer bar in the 'burbs. No name yet, but the concept, opening in September, will be located in Media, in the old Locust Crest Tavern on 352; it'll feature the "Venetian-style bar snacks" McAndrews calls cicchetti.
