Next Sunday, where my review usually appears in the Arts & Life Today section, I'll take a look back at the area's restaurant scene in 2007. 

As I do every year, I'll talk about the important openings and closings, the trends I see happening locally, and also hand out a few awards, including Weirdest Name for a Restaurant. (This year there was also a runner up.) Feel free to post your guesses below, but keep them local, please.

The photo is of oven chef Mariano Rios at the new Woodberry Kitchen working on an appetizer, Sizzling Shrimp, which is also pictured in the foreground.
