August's Ins, Outs, and Almosts (Revised)

The latest restaurant openings, closings, and more

by

The following list is accurate as of a late August press date and will appear in the October 2012 issue of SLM. 

Of note: Considering all the gloom and doom regarding the restaurant industry and the rising cost of food, the fact that 19 new restaurants opened here in just over a month--that's more than one every other day--is impressive.  

Revisions are in boldface.
