Rick's Steaks lives

Rick's Steaks, booted out of Reading Terminal Market in October, is under construction at the food court at the Bellevue.

Rick's Steaks, ousted from Reading Terminal Market in October after running afoul of the market's board, is under construction at the downstairs food court at the Bellevue.

Owner Rick Olivieri (left) confirms that he's signed the lease for the former La Cucina at the bottom of the escalator. He says he expects to fire up the grills in six to eight weeks.
