SF Mag's Jan Newberry looks back on the year's myriad restaurant closings and decides that one in particular still makes her sadder than the rest: "...it was the news that Restaurant Eloise turned off its stoves that hit me the hardest. I had my first meal there just ten days after the restaurant opened in July 2008 ... it wasn't a perfect meal, but the cooking was as heartfelt and personal as any I've had, and I've always been one to value passion over precision."
