For as close to the end of the year as we are and as entrenched in the pandemic a surprising number of new eateries cropped up this week, from fresh outposts of popular chains like Shake Shack and Raising Cane s to local restaurateurs adding to the mix. Among those is a new Chook Charcoal Chicken outlet at Stanley Marketplace, the third for the Aussie-style rotisserie-chicken company founded by Adam Schlegel, Alex Seidel and Randy Layman. Chook will be spinning birds starting at 11 a.m. today for takeout; order online for a streamlined experience.
And in pizza developments, Bar Nun took over the former Capitol Hill Tavern and is serving artisan pies.
