- First things first: Peep our cover package this week, where Pat Rapa tells you about the city’s food co-op scene, provides an exhaustive list of local farmers markets (and their opening dates) and tells the tale of the UglyRipe tomato. Fresh.
- Lauren F. Friedman introduces you to Eli Massar and Emily Pollack (above), the founders of Philly Kitchen Share. Upstart independent catering and cheffing businesses can rent out time in the licensed share-duse kitchen on South Street to do their thing, all while keeping costs to a minimum.
- I visit Frank’s Old Philly-Style Sandwiches underneath the Comcast Center to see what’s good on the grill.
- In Feeding Frenzy, I have details on Newbold’s brand-new Brew, the mini Thai Singha House near Rittenhouse and speakeasy-style Grey, coming soon to Old City.
- If the eatin’ itinerary is looking scant as of late, check What’s Cooking, where Lauren Fleming fills you in an Israeli wine dinner at Zahav, Mother’s Day destinations in the burbs and more.
