What you might have missed on this week's Cafe Society...

The much anticipated Pho on 6th opened, along with Olivea and Otto's Grill.

We got to the root of owner Justin Cucci's dismissal of Root Down's executive chef, Ryan Leinonen.

Jason Sheehan geeked out with the Geeks Who Drink and fought a pack of sugar-starved kids for some cupcakes from Nomelie.

Hungry for some pics of the Polish food Jason devoured in this week's Cracovia review? We got 'em.

Our Veggie/Candy Girl had fondue and a baby!

Jack-n-Grill's Juarez burger got a top 50 nod from Food Network Magazine.
