Liz reports on a recent visit by a group of brunching bloggers to Brookline's very own recipe central.

Since moving to Boston I've watched hundreds of ATK and Cook's Country tv episodes and Cook's Illustrated Cookbook is my go-to guide in the kitchen. So you can understand how I felt like a 10 year-old waiting for the end-of-the-year awesome field trip.

The Boston Licensing Board yesterday approved a request from Greek International Foods on Washington Street in West Roxbury for a license to sell beer and wine. However, the board rejected a request from Louis, the upscale clothing store on the waterfront, to nestle a full-service liquor store among its suits.

The board took no action on a request from Sugar in Roslindale to offer beer and wine with meals because it currently has no restaurant beer and wine licenses left. The vote means Sugar can re-apply again in the hopes a license becomes available or it can try to buy somebody else's license.

The latest New York online venture to try to crack the Boston market is the Curbed Network, which today launched Boston Curbed (real estate) and Boston Eater (food).

Channel 5 reports two brothers - one from Dorchester, one from Quincy - were arrested for robbing a Canton Dunkin' Donuts Saturday and that police think they may be responsible for up to 30 other Dunkin' robberies across the area.

Becky reviews local restaurants with gluten-free menus, most recently Bella Luna in Jamaica Plain, whose pizza she found OK, but not really worth the trip from downtown, especially since the cook refused to let her have the soy cheese:

Do you really trust a place that thinks all things soy aren't gluten free just because soy sauce is made with wheat? I certainly don't.

The Greek International Food Market at Washington and Grove streets in West Roxbury goes before the Boston Licensing Board next Wednesday to request a license to sell beer and wine. It's across the street from Dedham Line Liquors.

Also going before the board next week: Sugar in Roslindale, seeking a license to sell beer and wine with its food.

Potentially at issue for both places: Whether the board has any licenses to dole out. The number of liquor licenses in Boston is limited by the state legislature; over the past two years, the board has denied a number of license requests because none were available at the time.

Keurig, the Reading-based maker of single-serving coffee machines, is suing a California company that makes knock-off K-cups.
