- Dan Packel, currently living on the other side of the world, discovers that the Philly cheesesteak has presence everywhere — even in mostly-Hindu Mumbai, where McDonald's doesn't even offer beef burgers. Should you dig in, or steer clear? Find out.

- Cheesesteak shop "design"? That's basically defined as where one decides to stack the surplus Whiz cans, right? Not anymore: steak expert Carolyn Wyman looks at two new shopsWit or Witout and the second location of Delaware's Claymont Steak — to uncover out the motivations behind these aesthetically pleasing roll splitters.

- There's plenty to do this week in eats, so let Alexandra Harcharek be your guide: What's Cooking has details on an Amada beer dinner, a very piggy special menu at James, an Academy Awards party that also involves PJs and more.

- In Feeding Frenzy, we note the latest openings and news tidbits: check it for items the likes of Delicatessen, Apollinare, Ro-Zu and Hawthornes.

- Over in Agenda, Josh Middleton does a great job chatting up Bill "El Wingador" Simmons about Swallow Your Pride, about a new documentary on Philly's very own Wing Bowl. Wait till you get to the part about what runs through El Wingador's mind every time he sees a live chicken.
