Hungry Mother is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. The atmosphere is that of a Southern plantation dining room: conservative, clean and elegant, while the menu is a fusion of comforting, delicious Southern recipes and New England ingredients. Southern style cornbread with sorghum butter One of the most interesting bread and butter dishes I’ve ever…
Sofra Bakery and Cafe serves a great variety of daily-fresh Middle Eastern pastries, some of which I’ve never even heard of. I’d definitely give it a try!
The first time at Tasty Burger, my waiter suggested this side with so much enthusiasm, I had to order it. Within minutes I was confronted with a seemingly infinite heap of thin, crispy onion strings and (not hand-cut but still very crispy) french fries covered in your choice of cheese, (house-made) sausage gravy, chili or…
It’s pretty convenient growing up with one of the best breweries in Boston right in your back yard. If you’re sick of the party-harty Lansdowne St. crowd, head over to Boston Beer Works for some great chow and some delicious craft beer. Cambridge Burger with mushrooms and swiss, tomato, onions and pickles with a side…
I bought this chewy-gooey sesame mochi in China Town and thought it beautiful.

The reason I say “typical” is that dining hall food at Harvard is famous for looking fantastic while actually being incredibly mediocre. I saw this…
The Butcher Shop, my favorite of Barbara Lynch’s restaurants, is a South End gem that EVERY Bostonian carnivore MUST visit at some point. Amazing deli cuts, cured meats, sausages, pates and aspics. A large wooden cutting-board frame meat-cutting table in the back with bits of bread and oils to flavor and a beautiful wooden bar…
Japanese Seaweed Salad at Foumami This summer Foumami became my favorite place to grab lunch in the Financial District and I owe it all to this wonderful salad. Romaine lettuce tossed in a tangy, delicious soy and chili vinaigrette topped off with a generous amount crisp, slightly oily, briny and nutty green seaweed, fresh and…
Hipster but still hip, super artsy and interesting restaurant, bar and concert venue near Kendall Square. Interesting, creative and clever menu and a chill atmosphere at Think Tank. Fried Pickles I’m not exactly sure what “science batter” contains but whatever it is, I like it. The large pickle wedges are crisp and tart, coated with…
