- This week, I dine with Marc Kravitz, a fomer City Paper contributor who founded I-Spy, a restaurant "mystery shopper" firm that eateries hire to critique their service. His clients include Stephen Starr, Jose Garces and Jon Myerow of Tria. Paying meticulous attention to everything from exterior housekeeping to the skill with which servers "upsell" food and drink, Krav is a master of articulating a dining experience "through the eyes of the guest."

- Feeding Frenzy is bursting at the seams with details on WineO, the forthcoming Noble American Cookery, Swallow's mac menu at more.

- David Snyder learns all about chef Raju Bhattarai's secret spice blend when he explores the menu at Ekta, Girard Avenue's hot new Indian takeaway.

- Nikki Volpicelli has your out-and-about itinerary skedded for you in What's Cooking. Next week's Geeks Who Give fundraiser at National Mechanics and a Sicilian holiday dinner at Fork are just a few of the previewed events this time around.

- Not in the food pages, but still quite tasty: Justin Bauer and Char Vandermeer test out recipes from some big-name chefs' tomesThe Bibendium Cookbook, The Alinea Cookbook, Jose Garces' Latin Evolution and Marc Vetri's Il Viaggio di Vetri — as part of the arts section's holiday Book Quarterly.
