Interesting Saturday at Rouge on Rittenhouse Square as hot chef Eric Ripert (left), who's opening a restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton on Broad Street, stopped in for brunch with his wife, Sandra, and son, Adrien. (The handsome Frenchman has become a quasi-regular at Rouge.) This time in, he ordered the Rouge burger and steak tartare. Ripert is chef-partner of the award-winning New York's Le Bernardin.
Later on in the day, New York Giants' Jeremy Shockey came in for dinner with an attractive brunette -- supposedly not his girlfriend.
