CURRENTLY SERVING:

· An anonymous tipster just earned his title by telling us that Frank from Rustica Pizza in NoLibs was just hauled away in cuffs after a dust-up out on the sidewalk with a Philadelphia Parking Authority officer! Please God, let this be the same PPA drone that got served by Susanna Foo. In the meantime, you can contribute to the Frank Rustica Legal Defense Fund by sampling a wonderful slice of their pie.
· Hot-shit French chef Eric Ripert is on his way to Philly after conquering NY and DC. Look for the second of his West End bistros in Philly in early 2008. [Wikipedia/NYT]
· And congrats to Swanky Bubbles, who just paid $1.7mil for a liquor license. In Cherry Hill, NJ. We shit you not. [TableTalk]
