- Mouth of the Border: A.D. Amorosi catches up with Jen Zavala, self-professed "road bitch" and executive chef of upcoming Liberties Walk Tex-Mex border bar El Camino Real. Scope the full article to learn what cooking for Ozzy Osbourne and working for Bar Ferdinand owner Owen Kamihira have in common.

-David Snyder eats his way through Joseph Poon's entire culinary career at Joe's Peking Duck Original 1984, where the flavors are as big as the portions. Order from the lunch menu at dinnertime, and Joe will donate the 38 cent upcharge to cancer foundations and a scholarship fund, proving that a good cooking comes from the heart.

-Drew Lazor is up to his ears in suds, heralding the opening of both Prohibition Taproom and Mikey's American Bar & Grill in this week's Feeding Frenzy. Manayunk mainstay Bourbon Blue welcomes a new owner, longtime sous chef/manager/problem solver Brendan McGrew.

-Chefs dish up fancy grub at their restaurants, but what do they eat on their one day off? I spill the secrets of Chef's Guilty Pleasures in our Top 5 this week, I posted some bonus confessions on Meal Ticket earlier today.

- Nikki Volpicelli tells you where you can eat holistically in Cherry Hill; how to grub for charity at Chestnut Hill College; and why you should dig into some beef and beer to benefit Pop's Playground in What's Cooking. Ollie to that.
