The Restaurant Crawl: A (somewhat) regular roundup of national restaurant news, links and more.
What's for dinner: Under a new Montana state law, drivers who come across or strike deer, elk, moose and antelope with their cars can now haul that roadkill home for supper (The New York Times).
Market price?: With lobster wholesaling for around $2 a pound (about a third of its 2005 price), James Surowiecki asks why restaurants are still charging customers "as if it were a rare delicacy." (The New Yorker)
Wi-Fi without bars: As Starbucks turns to Google to speed up the Wi-Fi in its cafes, smaller, independent coffeehouses have begun enforcing table time limits or charging for wireless use in order to ward off "Wi-Fi squatters." (SF Chronicle).
Casas dies: Penelope Casas, the influential cookbook author whose "The Foods and Wines of Spain" helped introduce Americans to Spanish cuisine, has died. She was 70. (The New York Times)
