Ok, for those that are not in the know, the main site is:

Brush and repeat. Floss daily.
I'm going to go out on a limb and recommend both Vault 244 and Bamboo Diner. Yup, it's not "official," but give 'em a try and let us know what happens.

In the rumor mill, I've heard BS that Wyatt's might be bought or something like that. Plus, there is a restaurant slated for the J.C. Penney building AND at that thing they are building on the old Buzz Saw site. Wow, can Albany really deal with so many restaurants?

And, I'd be a dork if I didn't mention again how very tubular that Joy's BBQ is. They are located a mile or so south of Bandon, Oregon. They rock, or rather, they smoke. At the moment, they are only open on Friday and Saturday nights. But, if you're in the area, you MUST go. Really. I'm not kidding. Give Jeff a ring at (541) 347-5333. Tell him the sausage guy sent you. Better than any BBQ that's 40 miles from here (Albany).

Finally, I think Iain (of Le Bistro, Aqua, Terzo, Flat Tail and possibly some level of heaven) is smoking crack. He told me that the new Flat Tail sports bar thing will be opening in November. Wow, if he has some more spare time, my house needs painting. We look forward to chequeing that out. I hear they have some sort of Beaver sports archaeological exhibit planned there. AC Green's old socks, maybe? Anyhoot, if you have some spare cash, go eat at one of his joints. Now.

New openings, etc.

Vault 244 is open in downtown Albany. We stopped in there on opening night, and it was nice. Also, Bamboo Diner (next to Boccerhinis) opened on the same night. Great food as well. Tommy's burned in Corvallis. No word on when they will reopen.

Watch our web site for more info and full reviews.
