This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz reviewed LYFE Kitchen, where the portions were small and mostly uninspired. In Chef and Tell, Cook Street’s John Parks talked about his hands-on-approach for teaching novice chefs, the importance of knife skills and more.

Also this week, we listed the top patios for you and your pooch, and reported on the sale of an iconic truck stop, Johnson’s Corner, to TravelCenters of America. Since fall has officially arrived (though the weather might say otherwise), we served up the ten best places to go pick pumpkins and apples.
And, of course, the rash of restaurant openings continued, including Beer Flights at DIA, which started pouring today.
