I think all of us who write and review restaurants get this question asked at least once, “Aren't you worried that you'll some day run out of restaurants to write about?”
The answer is, of course, that it's impossible. Just as nurses will always be busy welcoming new babies into the world, we food writers are witness to what seems a never-ending life cycle of new places to eat. As with all things, restaurants come and go. Just look at this month's roll call of new restaurants, probably the longest we've seen in a while, and this is just stuff we've noticed.
What will the new year bring? Surely even more places to keep us busy writing!
