Chef Peter Karapanagiotis of Old City's Priv� (246 Market St., 215-923-8313, priveoldcity.com), tells Meal Ticket that he'll appear on Food Network's Chopped � the excellent three-round battle-cooking show that's essentially a commitment-free Top Chef � on Tuesday, August 25. He's got to remain mum on the outcome, of course, but in the meantime, here's a good opportunity to check out Pete's eats: Tuesday through Sunday, Priv� offers half-price small plates (the "mezze" category) from 4 to 7, along with a complimentary hors d'oeuvres flight (think crab gallettes or tuna tartare). Drink specials during happy hour (they extend it till 9 if the weather sucks) include $3 domestic bottles, $3 house wines and half-price specialty cocktails.
After the jump, check out Priv�'s recently revamped menu.
