The Main Line culinary scene is in the national spotlight this week, with one farm-forward crusader recreating a Manhattan-worthy feast, another trading in television fame to join the cheffing ranks in Bryn Mawr, and the last doing the opposite—he’s packing his knives and battling it out soon on the Food Network.
