Judy Wicks brought us the then-revolutionary, now widely practiced “Eat locally” philosophy when she opened White Dog nearly 30 years ago. This winter, when she passed the torch to restaurateur Marty Grims (most recently of Du Jour), she knew her pet project was in good hands. On a recent Tuesday night, the place was buzzing as we dug into well-priced food like the creamy shrimp and PA Noble cheddar mac-and-cheese ($12), and a house-made pasta with duck confit and local mushrooms ($18). The salmon special could have used more thought, but we’re just happy to know that not all dogs go to heaven.
