Highlights for the Week Ending October 5, 2012

A number of stories and articles centering on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a nationally-known chef opening a high-end spot in Concord, a chocolate cafe in South Boston merging with an upcoming specialty market, and a decades-old Polynesian restaurant closing. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included an updated review of a Middle Eastern restaurant west of Boston, a new photo slideshow on pizza, and a photo of a dessert from a Greek restaurant at an airport in the southwest suburbs.

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