This refreshing bottle alert is brought to you by the Department of Summer Slakes, Jersey Shore Division: the 2008 Layers from Peter Lehmann is a beguilingly complex white blend that evokes an Aussie version of Conundrum - but at a nicer price.Meet the ultimate handmade meatball

Submitted by Unbreaded reader Thad S. Have a sandwich you love? Submit it to us and we’ll post it on the site. You have probably driven by this place on Snyder, near Target, and wondered what the deal was.

Chef / owner Brendan Smith opened Smiths Restaurant in 2007 after serving two years as Executive Chef at Rittenhouse Square’s Smith & Wollensky steakhouse.
