At  "An Intimate Evening with Rick Nichols" (5:30-7:30 p.m., $55 a head), he'll talk about his work while some of his local favorites are shared, including ricotta and mozzarella from Phil Mancuso's Mancuso's Cheese Shop in East Passyunk, dark chocolate Wilbur buds from the Pennsylvania General Store, Gilda's biscotti, Cope's corn and DiNic's pulled pork.
