Kabuki Restaurant and Lounge is a new restaurant on Old Tower Hill Road in Wakefield that opened in March. At left, sushi chefs work their magic.

For all the challenges of the locally depressed economy, many more restaurants have opened than closed this year. ...Over the next few weeks, we’ll look at about a dozen them.

Bravo's new 'Chef Academy' mixes in laughs
Stan Frankenthaler is director of culinary development for Dunkin’ Brands.

When I finally popped in that DVD, I found myself laughing out loud at the premiere episode.
