The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
As the Trib’s Jess Harter pointed out on his blog last week, “Valley chefs are the new homeless.” 2009 saw many of the top toques in town become restaurant ronin after their restaurants closed or they parted ways with their employers or business partners.

James Beard award-winning chef Robert McGrath, whose big budget spot REM never materialized as planned back in 2007, will be overseeing the kitchen at a new restaurant called Renegade Cafe & Canteen, opening in March at 92nd Street and Shea.
Let’s hope this is the first of a 2010 turnaround trend.
