LABAN WIRE

Craig LaBan continued his wave of re-visiting restaurants, and posted a list of his favorite Philly institutions, many with updated ratings. It's a nice positive take on what we have going on in town after he announced the death of Le Bec-Fin. Stuff he loves that we love: Le Virtu, Fond, Barbuzzo, Han Dynasty, Koo Zee Doo, Kanella, Mémé, and Zeppoli (deserves 3 bells, Craig. You know it, we know it. Everyone knows it.) Apparently, our favorite palate will also we doing a piece on the gastropub scene here, which we're excited for. We will be chatting up LaBan soon here on Eater regarding the new food landscape, so stay tuned for that, as well. [Inky]
