For diners and restaurateurs, 2009 was less than the gleeful, sybaritic banquet of better years. The focus remained more on the past and the future than the present.
Nevertheless, all but the usual complainers are upbeat. The essential tide of travelers will continue to pay for more major restaurants than in any other American city our size. Chefs have enough confidence in our local ingredients and (to a lesser degree) our local flavors, and have backed away from aping Gourmet Magazine. And that’s a good thing, after Gourmet published its final issue in November.
