Some traditions came and went without us really remembering how great they were. The Feast of the 7 Fishes, regardless how it started, grew or developed, was more about tradition and family than anything else. Those memories get relived though the dishes and with whom we choose to spend the holidays.

I love that restaurants are putting an effort into providing people with nostalgia. Here are 8 places I see who deserve recognition.
