What Boston Area Celebrity Would You Like to See Open a Restaurant?
If everyone has a book in them, it could be said every celebrity has a restaurant waiting to get out.
It’s up for debate whether the Boston area is known for its fine dining, outside of boiled shellfish, baked beans and chowder, but locally born celebrities are taking the plunge and opening up eateries. While Belmont native Sebastian Junger is a co-owner of the Half King restaurant in New York, Boston native and star of Junger’s book turned into a movie, "The Perfect Storm," Mark Wahlberg, is a part investor with his brothers in Wahlburgers in Hingham. Fellow South Shore residents Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith once owned the Mount Blue restaurant in Norwell. Alas, Cambridge's most famous celebrity chef and Smith graduate, Julia Child, never owned a restaurant! Would you eat at a restaurant owned by a Boston area celebrity? …

Barnstable But wait. Fido has been home all day without you and wants to tag along. Should he be allowed to join you for a night of al fresco dining? According to Boston.com, some Salem restaurants are going to say yes. City officials said they are allowing restaurants to apply for variances that would allow diners to bring their dogs with them. According to Boston.com, the Massachusetts food code has not allowed dogs at eateries since the 1990s. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed? Would you bring your pooch? Sound off in the comments.

Dogs are unsanitary and are banned by the health department. I don't believe I should have to watch a dog lick his butt, while I pay to eat. and if a sever with a tray loaded with food steps on the dogs tail he's going to bite and you and the restaurant will be sued. Please bring your nasty children, but leave that sweet loveable animal home. more ›

Fishbones Hires Dynamic Duo of Chefs
Michael Rottman and Al Stubbmann plan to bring romance and fresh food to the Oak Bluffs Harbor this season
Michael Rottman may be one of the happiest people I know – and that was before he found out that he and one of his best friends were going to take over the kitchen at Fishbones this summer.

Some restaurants will also accommodate vegetarians and vegans with custom off-menu preparations — this is a common practice in the Napa Valley and I imagine the better Island chefs have similar backup plans.
