| Hi, Restaurant Club Members! |
| When Le Bec-Fin announced its pay-what-you-want program this summer, I suspect we all thought the same thing: What is up with Georges? Well, with that exact question in mind, writer Michael Callahan spent some time with him — and this week we’ve got the funny/sad/interesting story that breaks some news about what could be in store for Le Bec. We also take a look at a new type of gourmet market opening in our city, critic Joy Manning checks out some interesting seasonal pizza toppings, and we dish out the best of Foobooz. Also, I don’t need to tell you that the holidays are around the corner. Get some entertaining tips from local experts. — Ashley Primis, Food & Lifestyle Editor |

| The Best of Foobooz |
| Despite all of our city’s restaurant openings, a few — like Kibitz in the City and Ava — have closed. To spread some holiday cheer, the Italian Market DiBruno’s is hosting Wednesday happy hours with free beer, cheese, and discounts. In a tasty history lesson, Foobooz educates us on a Philadelphia restaurant of yore, which really sounds like the type of place we would have loved. |
