A busy week on the business blog. Here are ten highlights:

-- Bobby Flay is expanding his burger chain (he's above in Lake Grove).

-- One local bank reduced its earnings, while another did better.

-- We caught up with Matthew Crosson now that he's left the LIA.

-- We got first word that Long Island has added 5,400 jobs.

-- A Melville eyewear maker got more deeply into 3-D.

-- A Lynbrook company will get to help the Census

-- Trucking activity declined locally . . .

-- But a perfume company got a boost from Hello Kitty.

-- A Montauk restaurant was put up for sale ...

-- While other restaurants and pubs joined the fight against cancer.
