| Hey, Eaters, |
| We’ve had a busy week. Last Tuesday, we hosted our fourth Restaurant Club dinner, this time at Chifa with a very gracious host — Iron Chef Jose Garces. Check out the photos. We’ve also been sleuthing out new openings (we are psyched for Alex Capasso’s newest venture) and breaking bread with our very own Julie & Julia. But alas, now it’s a new week, and we’ve got the inside track on where Philly’s concierges send their guests to eat, plus a look at how far the tasting menu has fallen. Lastly, in this traditionally slow restaurant month, steakhouses are rolling out the deals, and we’ve got some for you right here. — Ashley Primis, Food & Lifestyle Editor |

| Food for Thought: What Happened to the Tasting Menu? |

| The Best of Foobooz |
| News came this week that Xochitl was making some big changes and Foobooz has a poll: Do you like the new or old logo better? Foster’s has moved locations (to 3rd Street in Old City), but still has their beloved cooking classes, which this season run from Top Chef contestants to cooking Italian. Finally, famous San Francisco food critic Michael Bauer visited Philly and has some really, really great things to say about us. |
