...reported at least a small dip in their business, Ten Tables, which opened its Cambridge location last month, has not been negatively affected by the downturn.“We actually got busier,” chef and co-owner Krista Kranyak said of Ten Tables’ Jamaica Plain location.

Foodmakers have also gone a little overboard. In 2006 a federal law started requiring companies to use plain language to note the presence in their products of any of eight major allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. But concern about liability claims led manufacturers to voluntarily supplement these labels with alerts on products that were made in the same facility...
