After dozens of suggestions last week, we've decided on Ticket Stubs as the best name for our end-of-week recap post. Thanks to all who submitted ideas! Now what did we get into this week ... Monday, May 17 - Food Network persronality Robert Irvine shot a pilot for a new show called Restaurant: Impossible, and Meal Ticket was in the house. - Recapped the Italian Market Festival, smoky, smoky chicken, Food Wars filming and more in Notes from the Weekend. - City Paper's 2010 DISH Magazine went live on the web. Tuesday, May 18 - Ikea sells smoked creamed fish roe in tubes. Why are we surprised again? - Felicia D shows you just how far your dollar can go at the Headhouse Square farmers market. - Delicatessen, already a hopping lunch spot, introduces dinner. - Speaking of hopping — Happy Hour Hopper hits up Jose Garces' Chifa to check out the scene. Wednesday, May 19 - A Philly installment of Crocodile Lounge, aka the NYC bar that gives you free pizza with every beer, is close to opening in Old City. - Also getting close: Le Cochon Noir, an uber-ambitious barbecue joint and live jazz/blues venue on Parkside Avenue near Fairmount Park. - Grub Street Philadelphia is getting a new editor, the by-all-accounts-nice-dude Collin Keefe. Thursday, May 20 - Chef Alex Capasso opens West Side Gravy in nearby Collingswood. - Early details on the bad-ass Craft Beer Express gearing up for Philly Beer Week. Friday, May 21 - The Lost series finale is on Sunday! Here are a few local bars planning themed shindigs. - Don't you love when you run into elusive restaurateurs on the street? We do! Luca Sena shares a few teasers about Revolution House, coming to Old City in late summer.
