If the ideal foodie magazine exists, what is it?

Late to this discussion, but astounded no one mentioned The Art of Eating quarterly. Magnificent.

The Whole 7 ribs. Can you get the best in Philly?

Don't think I can get to a wholesaler for one roast. And price is only a relative concern. Range is $200 - $400, so it's always going to be expensive.

The good stuff: stuffing...or is dressing?

Leeks not onions are my secret ingredient. Sauteed with celery and lots of butter. And a mix of good stalish bread saved in the freezer for a couple of months in advance. Finally, the New England secret stuffing weapon: Bell's Seasoning. A ton of it added to the saute pan.

The Whole 7 ribs. Can you get the best in Philly?

The best prime rib roast for Christmas - advice please.
Not about cooking but about buying. I'm a New Yorker recently transplanted to Center City in Philly. No butcher I've found here compares to Florence Meat Market or Ottomanelli (downtown) in NYC. Question - Ottomanelli uptown East Side will ship full 7 ribs prime for what seems like a too low price. Are they really good? Lobell's wants a fortune. Florence come in the middle pricewise and I've always loved the big roasts I've gotten there, but to ship they have to send me a 4 and a 3. What should I do and where do the many really terrific Philly restaurants buy their beef?
