Another story today on City Restaurant Week - this one is our 55 Hours cover story.

We take a look at Ameritage Bistro, the new restaurant at the corner of Ninth and Orange streets in Wilmington. (It was formerly Brandywine Brewing Co.)

I'm hearing really good reports about the food. Just one little tweak, according to an restaurant industry person - who knows his stuff: while he really enjoyed the food, he thought that the market in the front was kind of jarring in a restaurant with such nice interior.

"They should think about moving that," he said.

Everyone has an opinion.....

Click on the Restaurant Week story - it also includes menu highlights and some dining news such Conley Ward Steakhouse is now CW Harborplace. (New name, new menu, lower prices.)

Also, visit Second Helpings EVERY DAY next week - we are BLANKETING City Restaurant Week, starting Monday and will have short reviews/recaps written by our staff from all 10 participating restaurants. We're chewing then we're chatting.

OK, on to Reader Mail.....

QUESTION: The old Taco Bell on Kirkwood Highway near Red Mill Rd. has been repainted & has a new sign, "Philippine Bread House", or something like that. Any info on this place? Thanks, Suzy.

ANSWER: Suzy, I've heard about this for some time, but last time I checked they still weren't open. I'm make a trip out there today or this weekend and report back.

Could Pilipino be the next up and coming cuisine?
