- Adam Erace loves Peter McAndrews and his fleet of Philly restaurants, but he has a tough time at Popolino, the Irish-does-Italian chef's new Roman trattoria-style BYO. Kitchen execution and slow service make the experience suffer, but the good news is they've just brought in a new chef to right the carbonara-stowing ship.

- Alexandra Weiss chats with performance artist Robert Karimi, who's in town at the Asian Arts Initiative under his stage name, Cocinero Mero ("best cook"). The San Franciscan hosts a interactive stage experience combining the feel of a cooking show with music, comedy, storytelling and video. His latest installment, "Viva La Banchan," doubles as an educational piece about how to combat type 2 diabetes through diet. 

- In Feeding Frenzy: Vernick Food & Drink, Spencer ΣTA Burger and Lansdowne's new Argana.

- In What's Cooking: It's a crazy food event weekend! The Italian Market Festival, SPTR's Wheat Beer Fest and City Tap House's Preakness party are all going down.

- Where does Alla Spina, Marc Vetri's new Italian beer bar on North Broad, rank among his three other smash-hit Philly restaurants? Though Adam Erace's first visit resulted in a meal that felt like a "klutzy, deep-fried grope at fatty-chic," a return dinner showed plenty of promise for young chef Damon Menapace and crew.

- In Feeding Frenzy: Andorra's new Pizzeria DiMeo's, NoLibs' Café Chismosa and a second Milk & Honey location, this one on the Parkway.

- In What's Cooking: Sixpoint gets cheesy at Wedge + Fig, Allagash all day in C-Hill, a sneak peek of a new Old City café and more.
