Initially, I kept track of restaurant openings and closings for my own good...just so I could keep them all straight. Several months ago, SLM began publishing the ever-changing list in its Food and Drink section.
Here's what just went to press. Note that Kelli and Tony Almond's long-awaited Latitude 26 (a TexMex place in the former Chuy's space), should open to the public next week. The "Coming Soon's" are all obviously moving targets, but I'll keep shootin'. -- George Mahe
