Sad local news, as Rockwood Filling Station has closed. They had some consistency issues over their year-and-a-half run but they were my second favorite local pizza. I give a slight edge to Backdoor. But Backdoor is take-out only so RFS was tops for dine-in pizza. It's been interesting seeing the local comments since the shut down was announced. Of course, you're never gonna see total agreement about anything, esp. a restaurant that's closed. And plenty of the things people have said spoke to the kinds of reasons why people would stop going to a resto. But it's been kinda depressing to see all the haters show up to kick the place one last time after it's gone. Oh yeah, and to remind everyone who liked it that it sucked and we all suck for having liked it. Yeah, I love the internets sometimes... I think what I mainly take away from RFS closing is how razor thin the margins are in the food biz. Even a place with a regular following and good crowds can be gone just like that.

OTOH, I hear that the space will become the Fish Shack, owned and run by the guys at the Q-Shack next door. So that's a good thing.

Also, this (which is almost as insane as the Star Wars tuna advert)
