Curry and Pizzas for U City; Last Night's Prosciutto Party

U CITY — Shaban Kabab and Curry opened its doors this month in a space that used to be Philly's Best Pizza, and Naked Philly has the early report. Thanks to the infrastructure already in place in the kitchen, this newcomer is setting itself apart from the local South Asian competition by serving pizzas. [Naked Philly]

ITALIAN MARKET — After losing 100 pounds, cheesesteak heir Geno Vento has apparently started culinary school and is hinting that there could be some more healthful items added to the menu at Geno's once he's through. We're not holding our breath for them to shed the xenophobia along with those calories, though. [Foobooz]

OLD CITY — Prosciutto threw a party last night, and Zagat Philly's got the recap. Cured and Crafted tasked a slew of local chefs with creating a prosciutto-centered bite to pair with a specific beer, with top honors going to the Jersey Shore's Luke Palladino and The Mildred's Mike Santoro. [Zagat]
