- Guest critic Elisa Ludwig takes in the wicked scene and solid, homey Mexican eats at El Rey. "Brilliantly fusing past and present, El Rey is pure velvet-painting kitsch and Mexi-fetishism," writes EL, " ... and the flea-market finds, loud music and rec-room hideaway vibe absolutely deliver the fantasy." - On the side this week is a review of What the Great Ate, a fun collection of famous-person food anecdotes from writer brothers Mark and Matthew Jacob. Did you know 30th POTUS Calvin Coolidge was a pickle addict? Us neither! - Eric Henney previews the week in eats in What's Cooking R2L's kicking off a summer wine series soon, and World Café Live, the Frenchie-loving Fairmount neighborhood and Philly Beer School have all got stuff going on, too. - Feeding Frenzy has details on two new South Street-area projects Loving Hut and Cups & Chairs plus quick hits on a number of pending projects.
