| Philadelphia, |
| I need your help. Our January cover story is all about the best individual dishes in the region, and I’d like your input (you are, after all, my most dedicated eaters). E-mail me by Friday and your pick might end up in the magazine. OK, enough about me: Stella’s early success has given Stephen Starr some inspiration — and plans for turning us into a respectable pizza town. We’ve got the scoop. This week we’ve also got a sneak peek at our latest reviews, the best of Foobooz, and the results from the Oscar’s bar investigation (click here if you dare). I’m looking forward to salivating over your favorite eats. — Ashley Primis, Food & Lifestyle Editor |
