Goodbye to the Cape Cod Room after 83 years, hello to Jason Hammel's arty new place, prost to Michael Shrader, now at Old Irving Brewery, and kudos to Curtis Duffy and his favorite teacher.

Ruby puts Smyth over Loyalist, Smoke Show fizzles, how the Fat Rice cookbook was cooked up, and in search of long-lost chicken.

Boycotts vs. strategic support, GrubHub flubs snub, GT Prime is for steakhouse dining steak haters or something, and Sula gets regional with Mexican food.

Little Beet Table gets a beating, the 80s are here to stay at The Stop Along, Michelin and Banchet thoughts, and farewell to Salpicon.

Bourdain on whether there were better ways to drop a G than at a Cubs bar, working your way through Revival Food Hall and Seafood City, and those French awards are at it again.

GT Prime is more than steak, Alinea is magic, food trucks get the crankshaft again, and Little Beet's a little disappointing.

The Beards are staying, Giant demonstrates small plate power, Smyth is a four star joint and questions in the Budlong suit.

Roister satisfies, Maison Parisienne is très chic, Kevin Boehm meets the president and Michelin is on our horizon.

Pop-up dinner Claudia gets two stars, GT is prime but Dixie loses the South in fusion, food deserts got smaller via funny math, and what I saw at The Budlong.

The Blanchard is headed to court, Roister's chicken sandwich is a hit (and not $29), meet the Nancy of Nancy's pizza, and what to eat in Milwaukee.
