- David Snyder checks out what well-traveled chef Christopher Hora is doing at Root on Spring Garden. "What I like about Hora's cooking is that fresh and local is not treated as a goal or a gimmick," he says. "Rather, it's merely a launching point from which Hora builds complex yet accessible flavors in bold, refreshing ways."

- In Feeding Frenzy, I go over Mi Lah Vegetarian, Mt. Airy's new Earth Bread + Brewery, the new menu at SPTR and plugplugplug the hell out of this here blog.

- Trey Popp, who a few weeks back was blown away by the sheer scale of Georges Perrier and Chris Scarduzio's immense Table 31, reviews The Plaza, its cheaper, more casual sibling. The space itself "gives the lunch crowd a slice of high-urban love that is without parallel in Philadelphia."

- Meal Ticket queenie Felicia D. scours the city for five of her favorite tartares. Bistrot La Minette and Almaz Café make the cut. Where else? Rarefied.

- Nikki Volpicelli's got all the deets on upcoming food events in What's Cooking, including Biketoberfest and the astoundingly out-of-your-budget Garces/Vetri collabo dinner.
