- The only thing Trey Popp likes more than a good glass of grape juice is a good deal. That's why he's high on Di Vino Wine Bar & Restaurant in Rittenhouse. Owner Filiberto Magnati, former sommelier of Gulph Mills' Savona, "gets the wine part of the equation so right" that Trey would "hate to see him take his résumé anywhere else."

- I guest-eat this week with my mini-take on Paesano's, the awesome Girard Avenue sandwich shop from Modo Mio chef/owner Peter McAndrews, partner Nathan Baynes and chef Deanna Sanders. The Arista (roast pork) is total Eat This Immediately fodder.

- In Feeding Frenzy, there's note of Camac, at which I got completely blitzed on Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPAs while chatting up the barkeep (sorry if I did anything bizarre, friend!); the forthcoming S & H Kebab House; a hell of a lunch deal at the tony Rouge; and the excellent domestic farmstead cheese deal at Di Bruno's.

- Nikki Nikki Nikki, Nikki V — sometimes your well-crafted food event writeups just hypnotize me. No exception this week, as What's Cooking touches on a badass beef 'n' beer at South Philly Taproom,  a South Jerz comfort food fest and a few nice Restaurant Week picks. (You hear how it's being extended a week?)
