This week's Food and Restaurants sections were almost entirely written by Drew Lazor. Way to save on the budget, Drew!

- Ever wonder how many peanuts and crackerjacks baseball fans consume in the course of a game? We don't have any idea, but we do know all about the hot dogs, hamburgers and nachos Phils fans will snarf on Opening Day this Sunday. Drew visits the chefs and concessionaires of Citizen's Bank Park for the lowdown on what makes CPB the greatest arena for vegans, gourmets and devotees of house-smoked meats.

- The Foie Gras Wars author Mark Caro sits down to chat with Drew about Philadelphia's role in the liver battle, and answers the big question: Now that you know how it's made, what don't you eat?

- Super foodtern Lauren Fleming previews Ham Month at Marigold Kitchen; an edible tour of Titanic victim's burial sites in Lauren Hill Cemetary; the Cherry Blossom's intoxicated cousin Sake Fest 2009; the first Sunday brunch of the season at the Comcastic Plaza Caf�; and a bunny bar hop for charity 'round Fairmount, all in What's Cooking.

- Our hard-working editor feeds you the latest openings in Feeding Frenzy: Bish Bish Caf� at 18th and Sansom and The Blockley Pourhouse/Mary Oaks in West Philly. If you've got champagne taste on a Budweiser budget, check out the new pub menu at swank steakhouse Barclay Prime.
