- Jan. 31 will be Thien Ngo's last day in the kitchen. The chef, who's helmed Old City's Fork for the last 7 years, is retiring to his native Vietnam. Taking over for him is Terence Feury, who recently left Villanova's Maia, his collab with cheffing sibling Patrick. (Check out A.D. Amorosi's April '08 feature on the fam.) Feury will surely uphold Fork's pioneering farm-to-table mentality, and will be adding an artisanal edge to the menu by introducing his own hand-crafted pasta, bread, charcuterie and smoked fish into the fray.

- The Bernstein clan's Nuts to You, which has my favorite selection of sour candies in the city, has opened their fifth location in Whitman Plaza (330 Oregon Ave., 215-271-1644). Selection's the same — popcorn, nuts, candies, chocolates, the aforementioned molar-rotting delights, etc. Size-wise, it's comparable to the store at 1328 Walnut. Hours for now: Mon.-Tue., Thu., 9 a.m.-7 p.m.; Wed.-Fri., 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sat., 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sun., 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
- Paul Lauriello, a former partner of the Kildare's location in King of Prussia, has purchased Kildare's in Headhouse Square (Second and Lombard) along with his wife, Christine. They're unveiling it tonight as a new concept — Get Happy Pub. Interior is pretty much the same, and they have the same phone number: 215-574-2995. Paul says they're keeping the beer approach the same, too — 25 or so tap with all your Emerald Isle prereqs (Guinness, Smithwick's, Harp) and 40 beers by the bottle. Christine, a caterer, will be shopping for ingredients daily on Ninth Street for the menu; signature items will include Get Happy Wings (teriyaki, garlic, hot sauce) and what they're calling "NFL Burgers." What are those? Name your team and they'll work a bit of food coloring into the mayo so your food matches your favorite squad's uniforms. I am a Ravens fan so my burger's gonna be purple. Hours: Tue.-Fri., 5 p.m.-2 a.m.; Sat., 11 a.m.-2 a.m.; closed Sun.-Mon.
"... closed Sun.-Mon." Closed Sundays? Not gonna sell a lot of NFL burgers that way.
Closed Sundays? Not gonna sell a lot of NFL burgers that way. Hmmmmm. Quite true. But that's what they told me! Maybe they should just call them "Pigskin Burgers" and expand it to college team colors for Saturdays?
GET HAPPY PUB is open on Sundays! Just closed on Mondays for the winter months! :)
