Highlights for the Week Ending August 31, 2012

Several more stories and articles focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a London-based chain of sandwich shops opening a location in Boston's Financial District, a food and wine festival coming to Brighton, and a national restaurant guide including two Boston-area spots for its picks of new burgers. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of an Australian restaurant along the East Boston waterfront, a second blog entry on restaurants that college students might be interested in, and a photo of an unusual French toast dish from a dining spot in Dorchester.

Below are links to these and other items from the past week:
