A new restaurant with a familiar name has just opened in Jamaica Plain. According to various reports (including posts on Chowhound and Yelp ), Sami’s Wrap ‘n’ Roll is now open for business on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain, bringing to the neighborhood a place to get Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (although it appears that only lunch is being served for the time being – breakfast and dinner should follow soon, but call in advance to check).
Back in October, Andrew Carmellini announced he would launch a series of all you can eat pasta dinners in the private dining room of Locanda Verde as a follow up to his weirdly popular fried chicken dinners in the late summer ’09. Now, the Robs report the dinners will launch in one week on Feb. 8, just a couple of weeks after his most recent black truffle deal.

Butcher Bay , a short lived seafood restaurant born from the failure of another short lived and quirky comfort food spot Seymour Burton , has finally closed for good on East 5th Street. Back in 2007, Seymour Burton took over for a standby on the block, Le Tableau. It had great potential and an even better burger but was barely more than a construction zone.

Last December, I was invited by PR Rep, Dan Cox , to attend the Grand Opening Party for Ixtapa Cantina in Old Town Pasadena. Owner Jack Huang seems to be building a Pasadena restaurant empire because he also owns Bar Celona and Villa Sorriso and they’re all on Colorado Boulevard. This was my first time visiting this space since I’ve never been to either Fred’s Cantina or Moose McGillicuddy’s, which were previous tenants

When I got both an email from a PR rep for TLofts as well saw a posting on LA Taco about the TLofts Food Truck Benefit for Haiti where 21 food trucks would be in attendance, I knew I had to be there. Even more so, since some of the proceeds of the sales were going towards helping the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. Since I knew it was going to be pretty crowded towards the latter part of the day, I recruited 3 of my best eating buddies for an early arrival time.
