Getting Hungry?
You will be after you flip through our Better Burger Guide. We drooled a little researching it, and we’re going to get the Lacroix burger — one of the more creative ones — ASAP. We also sent food writer Bridget to check out the newfangled Marigold Kitchen, which has some pretty big shoes to fill. We’ve also got a great ticket giveaway to a cool Borgata event and the best of our favorite food blog, Foobooz. Oh, one more thing: For our December issue, we’re highlighting “The 25 Greatest Philly Traditions,” and we want you to weigh in. Do you think eating in a South Philly Italian restaurant, drinking at Dirty Frank’s, and waiting in line at Pat’s or Geno’s are among the best traditions in Philly? Vote on your favorites here.Ashley Primis, Food & Lifestyle Editor

The Best of Foobooz
