CANNONBOROUGH/ELLIOTBOROUGH — Park Circle favorite Raul's Maya Del Sol shuttered last week, but chef Raul Sanchez has already found a new home downtown. Sanchez will be behind the line at Rutledge Avenue stop R. Kitchen. Since R. Kitchen only serves dinner, Sanchez will take advantage of the lunch hour rush. From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., during the week, Sanchez will offer a rotating menu of Mexican-influenced items served at his former restaurant. [CP]
