I know we have some running threads on here that people just contribute to instead of opening a new thread each time something comes up. I like to follow new restaurants as they open up and as opposed to some people who get upset about going to a new restaurant while they're working out the kinks, I like to think that I'm helping a local business get started. I would think that having a thread on here might help those restaurants who are just starting and maybe don't have the budget or understanding to market themselves. Maybe it would even help more if there was a "coming soon" thread instead?

Just a thought.
