Our monthly roll call is a little late, but here it is: what we observed on this thing called a food blog. There were several openings this month, with a lot of them in Newport Beach. Our short roster of German restaurants became even shorter when Barth's shuttered, replaced by a Thai joint.
The full list of open-and-shut cases for June follows.
