- David Snyder ventures into Wokano, the new Chinese restaurant in Wing Phat Plaza at 11th and Washington, and leaves both perplexed and enthused. Sure, they've got General Tso's and whatnot — but have you ever tried duck tongue? "If you marshalled the courage to hold the base of the tongue and used your teeth to scrape the meat from the bone," Snyder explains, "you were treated to a unique blend of earthy and intensely gamey flavors." I say give her a shot.

- All the news that's fit to eat in Feeding Frenzy this week — the opening of Argan Moroccan Cuisine, info on chef Dave Teich's new plan for the kitchen of Fairmount's Green Room, info on the upcoming D.P. Dough outpost and word of a new chef at The Ugly American.

- Trey Popp submits his short take on the Hinge Café in Port Richmond and its new dinner menu. Sounds like homey choices like pierogies and oatmeal cake are the real winners.

- Event goddess Nikki Volpicelli righteously bestows your food/drink itinerary upon ye in What's Cooking: no-stress Thanksgiving at Tavern 17, a food presentation demo at Cliveden of the National Trust, a boozy Turkey Day afterparty at Devil's Den and more.
