Table Talk: Señor Salsa spices up Abington

Señor Salsa (1301 Old York Rd., Abington, 215-887-9600), a Mexican grill, has taken over the former Inn Flight/Timber building across from Abington Memorial Hospital. Owners Victor and Vicky Perez, partners in Las Margaritas in Northeast Philadelphia and Southampton (he's from Guadalajara), have a small bar, several colorful but low-lighted dining rooms, and a something-for-everyone menu. It's open daily for lunch and dinner.

The Ambler-area location of the 24/7 Andy's Diner (900 N. Bethlehem Pike, Spring House) - announced in spring 2012 - has opened. What caused the delay? "Everything," owner Andy Kamaratos said with a grin.

No slowdown in the burger department, and on East Passyunk Avenue. Friday marks the debut of its burger shop P'unk Burger (1823 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-468-7865). Owners Marlo and Jason Dilks, who operate the area's three Slice pizzerias, are offering cooked-to-order burgers made of organic beef, turkey, chicken, and ahi tuna, plus sweet potato and Idaho fries, and shakes. Early hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; soon, it will stay open till 3 a.m. on weekends. (Monday, meanwhile, marks the debut of Bing Bing Dim Sum, a dumpling house from the Cheu Noodle Bar duo, at 1648 E. Passyunk Ave. Details here next week.)

Friday also will see the first taps pulled at the British-theme Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill as it replaces Mia at Caesars Atlantic City. It's larger - about 250 seats - than the chef's Las Vegas pub and has 37 beers on tap. Figure on $15 to $25 for lunch (served Friday to Sunday) and $25 to $45 for dinner entrées (served Monday to Saturday). Ramsay intends to be in Atlantic City in early March for grand-opening events at what will be his 25th restaurant worldwide.

The Bibou is turning six years old with substantial changes: Pierre Calmels is returning to his old kitchen. He has been overseeing Bibou while also running Le Chéri, the Rittenhouse Square bistro that he and wife Charlotte opened in 2013. Ron Fougeray, the day-to-day chef at Bibou (and Pierre's righthand man for 12 years), is relocating with his family to California. Fougeray's last day at Bibou will be March 29. Steve DeLorean will take over at Le Chéri. Bibou will close for the month of April for renovations. When Bibou returns, with Pierre in the kitchen, the menu will become prix-fixe - seven courses for $100 a person. It will still be BYOB and cash only. Also, dinner will be served Wednesday to Saturday. Bibou's bargain $50 Sunday dinners will go away.

Suburban Square in Ardmore is getting some attention. Rob Wasserman (Rouge, 500 Degrees) is getting close with Parlor, his brick-oven pizzeria that will replace the Saint James. Also, the region's second Not Your Average Joe's, a casual grill, is a little more than a week away. Up for later this spring or sometime this summer is an outpost of Besito, a New York-rooted cantina.

Delicias, the Latin BYOB on Fourth Street near South in what was Django's old space, has pulled the plug.
