Feeding Frenzy

Restaurants opening, closing and pending

NOW SEATING

You know Rocco Cima best from his DJ gig on Q102, but the on-air personality cooked before jumping into radio — and now he's doubling up career-wise with Fuel, his eatery on Passyunk. Cima's specializing in starters, salads, paninis and wraps, all of which fall under 500 calories (not including bread). Eats include shrimp skewers served with cucumber yogurt; a tuna and arugula salad with white beans, plum tomatoes, red onion and kalamata olives in a lemon vinaigrette; and a high-protein grilled cheese, with mozzarella, provolone, lemon cream cheese, spinach and tomato. They deliver. Hours: Sun.-Thu., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-midnight. More photos on Meal Ticket.
