Dos Caminos Opens in Atlantic City; Telepan's Picnics

ATLANTIC CITY— Atlantic City's Dos Caminos is now open in the Harrah's hotel and casino. It's pretty similar to the ones up here, but clubbier and adjacent to a floor of slot machines. Restaurateur Steve Hanson's other restaurant on the property, Bill's Bar & Burger, will open in a giant space nearby within the next few weeks. Considering how well the Johnny Rockets do down there, they'll probably kill it. [EaterWire]
