It's a special In Print this roundup this week, as all our print coverage is dedicated to the burgeoning behemoth that is Philly Beer Week 2010. - We teased this earlier in the week: Old City rock club The Khyber is also a great beer bar, and it's produced quite a few Philly beer-scene luminaries. Brian Howard rounds up four former Khyber bartenders — Casey Parker, Brendan Hartranft, Paul Havelin and Chris Morris — for a beer-soaked roundtable discussion with current Khyber cap'n Jeremy Thomson. These dudes got STORIES. -Novice beer drinker or first-time Philly Beer Week-er? Local bar owners want to help! We tapped the proprietors of spots like South Philly Tap Room, The Sidecar, London Grill, Monk's and more for this guide to surviving Beer Week. - Hadley Assail dons her beer goggles for this week's What's Cooking column, rounding up food-and-beer events throughout the city. - Beer Week can be a bit of a bro-down, but there are plenty of lady-centric events for the gentler brew-guzzling sex to enjoy. James Saul has your guide. - In Small Bites, quick hits on some sweet-sounding events, plus word on a Victory brew made especially for Beer Week. - Finally, this doesn't have a ton to do with Beer Week, but — Feeding Frenzy has details on Mac's Tavern, Frog Burger and Mojo Coffee.

Joey Chmiko, chef at Resurrection Ale House (2425 Grays Ferry Ave.), gets a little love for his panko-crusted, honey-drizzled fried chicken in the latest issue of Bon AppÃ©tit. Restaurant Editor Andrew Knowlton includes RAH in a finger-lickin' Top 10:

Resurrection Ale House Philadelphia Crispy fried chicken with ice-cold beer is one of the great food-beverage pairings of the world, and this gastropub has exceptional versions of both: lots of locally brewed stuff on tap and twice-fried chicken with a spiced-honey drizzle. 2425 Grays Ferry Avenue; 215-735-2202; resurrectionalehouse.com

How could someone named "Joey Chmiko serve something with 3-4 bites of food to it.  Good Lord, that is not fried chicken.  That is pan-fried, brain dead people who think if you spend more for it, it must be better. Screw that, I'll go to "Popeye's" before I'll spend $15 for 4 bites of foo-foo crap. Ambience my ass!

Best chicken we've (all 10 of us) had.  Thank you Mr. Chmiko for coming up with something so good.
