TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2009
Hello, Hungry Readers!
We continue our month of stellar giveaways with the chance to win tickets to a hot charity event where a whole bunch of the area’s best chefs will be cooking. And speaking of events, we’ve got great photos (as well as some good restaurant gossip) from last week’s Great Chefs Event hosted by Marc Vetri, plus a first look at the reviews from the July issue of Philly Mag and the answer to a great Restaurant Club question about outdoor dining with big groups. Don’t forget to check out our daily Foobooz roundups and vlogger David Fields’s latest video from the kitchen of Mercato.
