Highlights for the Week Ending August 17, 2012

Several more stories and articles focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a Japan-based group of ramen shops apparently opening a new location in Cambridge, a Kenmore Square lounge receiving recognition from the CNN blog, and a Walpole baker being involved in a controversy centering around whoopie pies and welfare benefits. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of a bar in West Quincy, lists of restaurants on the water in both Boston and cities/towns near Boston, and an updated review of a Greek restaurant in Woburn.

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