Be Kind & Rewind, New Guillermo's location: San Antonio's biggest food stories of the week

This week, San Antonio was awash in "coming soon" announcements from operators both new and familiar.

For instance, Be Kind & Rewind — an arcade bar opening across from the Alamo next year — and Guillermo's, a longtime Italian food staple, both shared opening dates for their new near-downtown ventures.

We also covered Chicken N Pickle's new seasonal pop-up ski chalet experience, as well as new Southtown restaurant Up Scale's recent accolades from a lifestyle site as one of the best spots to open in Texas this fall.

This year's winter Flavor issue also went live online — don't worry, print issues will be on stands next week — and folks can read about five female culinary trailblazers working to share their unique relationships with food.
