South Goes Dark, Cane Rosso's Industry Fun, Top Chef Rap

SOMA—The news came out a few weeks back, but South finally had its finale over the weekend, so say goodbye to the Aussie slant and little birdies as you know them. The space will reemerge as a new restaurant in February; more to come in the next few weeks, naturally. [EaterWire]

THE MARINA—Speaking of restaurants that will close and reinvent themselves anew in 2010, Laiola is bringing back its opening three-star chef Mark Denham for the restaurant's last four nights (December 28–31). [EaterWire]

FERRY BUILDING—On the third Sunday and Monday of every month (which means tonight), industry workers get a free drink (wine, beer, other) with the $25, three-course nightly meal at Il Cane Rosso. Or, if you want to bring your own bottle on these magic evenings, corkage is waived. [EaterWire]

TOP CHEFFAGE—And now, there's "Top Chef" ... the rap song by Gucci Mane featuring Akon. [VodPod]
