Check out the Recession Menu at Sushi Samba. The $35, three-course menu includes pan-seared sea scallops, kobe beef with ponzu gelee and Japanese mushrooms, and warm chocolate banana cake.

David Burke is taking over the space last used by Zoe Townhouse to open Fishtail. The concept? Food with tails, including lobster and shrimp. It's slated for a late November opening. Fishtail, 135 E. 62nd St., New York, NY 10065, no phone.
The Lower East Side branch of Frankie's Sputino 17 is expanding. The restaurant plans to take over the storefront next door as well, doubling their seating capacity to 50. Renovations to integrate the two areas are to be completed by the spring. Frankie's Sputino 17, 17 Clinton St, New York, NY 10022, 212-253-2303.
Wakiya, located in the posh Gramercy Park Hotel, will be shutting down on December 21. New York diners never warmed up to the eatery. But that probably won't be the case for the space's next eatery, which will be opened by none-other-than Stephen Starr. There are no details on the Starr restaurant---only that he's shooting for a late-spring 2009 opening. Wakiya, Gramercy Park Hotel, 2 Lexington Ave., New York, NY 10010, 212-995-1330.
Katie Lee Joel won the New York Food and Wine Festival's Burger Bash competition with a grilled cheese sandwich; the burger from Burger Joint was second. Perhaps the two have a legitimate beef? Burger Joint, Le Parker Meridien New York, 123 W. 56th St., New York, NY 10019, 212-708-7460.
Chef Al di Meglio and sous chef Henji Cheung of Olana have launched a three course prix-fixe lunch for $25 and a three course prix-fixe dinner for $48. The menus showcase seasonal ingredients and change on a daily basis. Olana will also offer a Thanksgiving feast on November 27. Olana, 72 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016, 212-725-4900.
Charles, set in the old Les Deux Gamins space on the corner of W. 4th and W. 10th Streets in the West Village, is set to open on October 20. Unless you're famous, have a haircut that screams "this season!" or famous with a trendy hair cut, don't expect to ever get in. The owners want the place to be the next Waverly Inn.
Timothy Hollingsworth from The French Laundry will represent the U.S. at the Bocuse D'Or competition in Lyon. The chef had worked for Thomas Keller for the last seven years. The finals of the competition are in January of next year.
Tom Colicchio is back---in the kitchen, that is. The judge on "Top Chef" and owner of Craft (among other restaurants) is cooking every other Tuesday evening at a 32-seat space next door to Craft. The "restaurant" is called Tom and the fixed-price menu starts at $150. Tom, 47 E. 19th St., New York, NY 10003, 212-400-6495.
