Pork belly buns are a standout dish at Chew Man Chu

-- David Snyder visits Chew Man Chu and finds a busy, sorta-pan-Asian restaurant that appeals to diners whose yardstick of approval has no markings for authenticity.

-- Drew Lazor and the lunch crew visit Burger Maestro in the Bellevue Food Court, but the overdone beef and fry ensemble doesn't play as harmonious a tune as it could. Chicken sandwiches and a "Philly dog" do earn a nod for first-chair status.

-- Sparkly wine and chocolate at Le Bec Fin? Multi-course candlelit vegan feast at Horizons? By Hallmark, it must be Valentine's Day! Alexandra Harcharek runs down destinations for smoochy types in What's Cooking.

-- Play Foosball and chug cans at Bar, chow down on critters at the new Italian Market Paesano's, or be amazed by what you can make by juicing 500 lbs. of carrots a week at Thoreau. Feeding Frenzy has the details.
