- David Snyder hunts for the connection between pinup girls and craft beer at Varga Bar. Does he find it? Not quite, but that's OK: This pub mostly excels thanks to its smart bar program and chef R. Evan Turney's beer-friendly American comfort food menu.

- Few people in Philly know barbecue better than native South Carolinian Trey Popp. So when he says Bebe's in the Italian Market is his new favorite smokehouse in the city, y'all definitely need to take note.

- What's Cooking this week? Lauren Fleming's got Carolyn Wyman's cheesesteak bike tour, a Doris Day-themed brunch at Q, closer-than-your-average Brooklyn beer tasting at World Caf� Live and more.

- Summer is usually dead for openings, isn't it? What the hell is happening this year then? Feeding Frenzy has word of three still-got-that-new-eatery-smell places: Yogorino, Leila Caf� and Sycamore.

- Not in the food section, but you still need to read it: Andrew Thompson explains how opening a food co-op in Philly is not nearly as simple as it may seem on paper.
