Feel the Burn ...
By By Dawn E. Warden
By the time you read this, I will have returned from Firecreek’s March 17 soft opening, one of four “friends and family” sneak peeks designed to work out any possible kinks and to help create some tangible buzz for Downingtown’s newest hotspot.
With 7:30 p.m. reservations and an hour-long trip home, turning around a detailed recap is a challenge. Check back later this week for a full report on the nibbles, the sips, and the overall look and feel of these chic new digs.
In the meantime, enjoy these “just in” photos from the first soft opening, and see how nicely this former paper mill’s interior has come along. Oh, I’ve also posted a menu as an amuse-bouche.
And just in case you missed our pre-pre-opening posts and photo galleries, they’re all still here for your perusal.
Happy Salivating!
Firecreek Restaurant & Bar, 20 E. Lancaster Ave., Downingtown; (610) 269-6000, firecreek-restaurant.com.

Main Line Today
Welcome to bocconcini
[bohk-kohn-CHEE-nee], mainlinetoday.com’s first-ever dining blog dedicated to local culinary wonders and the movers and shakers behind them. Along with dishing on the dining scene, I’ll be serving up the scoop on local brewmeisters and winemakers. For those not up on their Italian phraseology, bocconcini are petite nuggets of fresh mozzarella packed in whey or water, with a spongy texture and a knack for absorbing any flavor they mingle with. Bocconcini also translates to “mouthful,” a term used by Italians to describe the appetizing appeal of many dishes—and a fitting name for this blog. So without further ado, “Mangia!”

Are you being paid to do PR for this place or something?? Or maybe you're an investor?? Seems like this is all you have been covering lately, and frankly it is really getting BORING!
I can see why you feel that way, but no, I am not being paid to do this. It actually is a cool spot, and I thought it would be interesting to follow a restaurant through construction and opening. If you're interested in hearing about something else food/drink related, or have any insider info for me, I would be happy to check it out. Fire away!
FIRECREEK is opening to the public this Monday (March 23rd) ... We were there for a "soft opening" on Tuesday night and it was amazing. Ask for "Andrew" to be your server, he doesnt miss a beat when it comes to great service and recommended three really great dishes for us.... This place is going to put Downingtown on the map!!!
