The Week In Eats

Get Out!

by Nikki Volpicelli

Chipotle, which is opening a location up in University City, is making us an offer we can't refuse. A free made-to-order burrito, overstuffed with braised carnitas and cilantro-lime rice ... or cumin-seasoned black beans and chicken marinated in chipotle-pepper sauce ... or Hass avocado guac, salsa and cheese. We could go on. Did we mention this is free? (You get a soda, too!) They're more generous than Rita's in the springtime. Expect ridiculous lines. Chipotle, 3925 Walnut St., 215-222-0632, chipotle.com.

Chima Brazilian steak house is celebrating the swearing-in of the new prez and the gentle bootin' out of the old one with a prix fixe dinner complete with rodizio service, salad bar, a fountain soda and your choice of tiramisu, cheesecake or key lime pie and coffee. Cuts of meat will include beef, chicken, pork, lamb and fish served on skewers and offered throughout the meal; the salad bar will include shrimp and chicken salads with vegetarian choices. Chima, 1901 JFK Blvd., 215-525-3233, chima.cc. 

PBC is taking over EB+B with seven taps featuring popular standbys — Kenzinger, Newbold IPA, Walt Whit and Rowhouse Red — in addition to seasonal brews Philabuster and Philly'z Navidad. Look forward to drink specials, giveaways and a chance to taste brand-new PBC family member Joe, a coffee porter released just two weeks ago. Earth Bread + Brewery, 7136 Germantown Ave., 215-242-6666, earthbreadbrewery.com.

Bob Barrett of Capital Wine & Spirits and Sean Benge of Origlio Beverage join Caribou chef/owner Olivier Desaintmartin and GM Tom McAleer for a four-course meal featuring choices like seafood dumplings in mushroom sauce, herb-buttered salmon, beef bourguignonne and your choice of crème brülée or chocolate mousse for dessert. The wine and beer gurus will choose beverages to complement the French fare. Caribou Café, 1126 Walnut St., 215-625-9535, cariboucafe.com.

The Oceanaire and Frog's Leap Winery offers a five-course menu created by chef David Wiederholt, with Frog's wines accompanying his selections.
