Greatest Hits and What You Missed: Le Bec Loses 2 Chefs, Vetri’s New Restaurant, Fette Sau Reviewed and Is Starr Opening A Mexican Restaurant in Fishtown?

This has been one helluva week. We’ve got Le Bec Fin news, Marc Vetri news, pizza news, Spike Mendelsohn news, even some Stephen Starr news (that may or may not be true). And all of it leading up to another snowy weekend which, thanks to the wolf-crying meteorologists, will likely kill the hell out of reservations at restaurants already suffereing through a tough month.
