We're hearing that Steve Gonzalez, the talented chef of Zavino (112 S. 13th St.), has left the 13th Street pizzeria/wine bar. (He was featured prominently in our July 22 cover story about pizzamaking in Philly.) No solid details yet on where he is heading or who his replacement might be, but we'll update as we hear more.

Uh, I think this WAS his own place.  It was his concept, his menu and he was part owner as well.
