Inside Pearl

Now that Pearl is in soft open mode in the old Little Pete’s at Chestnut and 19th, all the Philly foodies are happy. The food’s pan-Asian, per 2008’s obligatory hipness factor and chef Ari Weiswasser is an alum of the Striped Bass. But the menu… What about it? Oh yeah, Food & Drinq is offering a sneak preview — we’ll have the official menu shortly.

Highlights include pho-braised short ribs ($26), a raw bar, braised king shrimp with bouillabaisse ($28) and cashew wok chicken ($18).
