Food and Drinq

Back in March, I wrote about plans for Garlic, a combo coffeeshop, salad stop and brick-oven pizzeria with a bar in the RiverWest condos at 21st and Chestnut Streets.

Victor Fellus, a partner in Old City's Soho Pizza, hopes to open by the end of June and he has switched the name from Garlic to Mix Brick-Oven Pizzeria. Why? "Because it's a mix," he says.

Which brings up a sore issue: The naming of restaurants. Garlic may not have been the most original name, but "Mix"? There's Mixto on Pine Street -- not to be confused with the now-closed Misto in Cherry Hill -- and MIX in Vegas and MIXX at the Borgata in A.C. (There's also a club called mur.mur at the Borgata, which sounds like a medical condition.)
