Highlights for the Week Ending November 1, 2013

A few more stories and articles centering on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a celebrity chef possibly bringing his Italian emporium to the city, a diner in the western suburbs closing, and an American brasserie coming to downtown Boston. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included an updated review of a family-friendly restaurant south of the city, a listing of closings and openings for October, and a photo of a sandwich from a Chilean eatery.

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