    Just as music collections say a lot about people, a jukebox can do the same for a bar; it often reflect the place's personality.

    Restaurant Roll Call for 2011

    Close to 300 new restaurants opened in the metro area last year -- and with that much action, perhaps it's not surprising that two of them are named Cebiche, and two of them are named Chinook.
