Critics, Over the Line: They’re called small plates at Blue Pear Bistro, but we like ’em just the same. Try convincing yourself of the health benefits of bacon and egg salad—it is salad, after all—with a fried soft-boiled egg and pork belly over greens and a medley of beans. We also loved the fall menu item of flakey mushroom crepes with Swiss chard and pickled chanterelle mushrooms. (1390 OldWilmington Pike, West Chester, Pa., 610-399-1390)
