Philadelphia has a five-star restaurant again. The Fountain at the Four Seasons last night was elevated for 2010 by Forbes Travel Guide (formerly Mobil).

The Fountain, where chef Rafael Gonzalez took over this year, is one of only 22 so-honored restaurants in the United States and Canada. It had four stars last year, as did Lacroix at the Rittenhouse, which repeated.

The city's last five-star joint was Le Bec-Fin, but chef-owner Georges Perrier relinquished the award last year, when it changed concept. Mobil downgraded Le Bec-Fin to four stars in June 2000, and Perrier slipped into a funk that did not lift until November 2002, when - after staff changes and a $500,000 freshening - it regained the top star.

Utley batting .500

Out Friday night, the Phillies' Chase Utley was apparently unrecognized in line at the Franklin, a nightspot near Rittenhouse Square, and was turned away. But Saturday, he and wife Jen met another couple at Smokin' Betty's at 11th and Sansom Streets, where they were welcomed by owner Susan Schlisman and chef Greg Aversa.

Radio activity

Arbitron's radio ratings for October show that soft-rock WBEB (101.1) again topped the pile, claiming the ears of 7.2 percent of the overall audience ages 12 and older as well as the city's largest weekly cumulative audience.

Program director Anne Gress and her staff at WOGL (98.1) are doing a happy dance (most likely the electric slide). By a narrow margin, the classic-hits station was tops in the big-money 25-to-54 demographic, which B101 generally wins. WOGL's ratings have been on a decided upswing this year.

Meanwhile, fingers at both B101 and WOGL are nervously poised on the Ho, ho, ho button as they prepare to duel for Christmas ratings. The stations are offering yule formats on their HD signals, which can be received only on special radios. WOGL also streams it online now.

Also of ratings note: Both sports-talk WIP (610) and WPEN (950) saw their highest ratings among men 25 to 54 in well over a year, no doubt because of the Phillies in the World Series. WPEN began simulcasting at 97.5 FM on Oct. 9, five days before the end of the October ratings period. We'll be able to better assess ratings for the new "97.5 The Fanatic" and compare Series numbers when November's ratings are released.

WOGL's Ross Brittain and the Breakfast Club, WPHI's Michael Shawn, and WPHT's Dom Giordano were among winners last week at the 2009 Achievement in Radio (AIR) Awards, a benefit for the March of Dimes. AIR's lifetime-achievement award went to Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, and the Broadcast Leadership Award went to Marc Rayfield of CBS. The list of winners is at http://go.philly.com/09 air.
