| Congrats, Philly! |
| We can officially call two Iron Chefs our own. We are so proud of Jose Garces for winning on Sunday night, and we had a blast at his celebration party. (If you scroll down, that’s me and City Paper’s Drew Lazor, taken by the always-everywhere Philly Chit Chat’s HughE Dillon.) Want to learn more about Jose? Check out our feature story on him. OK, enough about Jose. This week, you’ll get a sneak peek of our December reviews and a new column called The Little Black Book, where concierge extraordinaire Ken Alan gives you tips on getting the best out of our restaurant scene. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. — Ashley Primis, Food & Lifestyle Editor |
