What the heck happened? One night I was handing out candies to adorable ghouls and ghosts, the next thing I know, we're a week past Thanksgiving with tomorrow the first day of December! This means of course, another installment of our monthly restaurant roll call, a summary of restaurants and eating venues that have opened or closed since we talked last.
This time we saw a lot more restaurants debut than face demise…which is always good news.
