Distrito’s Chilango Chop Salad Is ‘a Good Start;’ Frito Misto at Radice Is ‘Masterfully Fried’

• The fritto misto at Radice is “masterfully fried,” and the eggplant parmigiana “was memorable simply because each micro-layer of eggplant, encased in a light Parmesan-anchovy batter was still distinct and almost fruity inside the bubbling mini-casserole of fresh tomato sauce and cheese.” [Inquirer]

• The Chilango Chop Salad at Distrito “was a good start” to Monday’s taco night deal, but the crab enchilada’s other ingredients “overwhelmed the crab.” [Two Eat Philly]

• The melted Daiya cheese on Blackbird’s seitan cheesesteak “clings to the seitan like a protective parent,” and “the onions, peppers, and mushrooms offer quiet support.” [Living on the Vedge]

• The rotisserie chicken at the newly opened J & D Rotisserie at the Bellevue Food Court is “very moist and flavorful,” but the side of beets “looked like it was swimming in Pepto Bismol.” [Midtown Lunch]
