I have already discussed the sandwiches… But there is so much more to try!
A Nostalgia Post: Harvard Dining Hall Dinner
(WRITTEN ON 2/10/2011) Typical Quincy Dining Hall dinner tonight… Grilled pepper steak with creamed spinach and roasted red bliss potatoes with a side of crab cakes and chipotle mayo. 3.2. 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…
A Meaty Meal at The Butcher Shop
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…
A Beautiful Salad at Foumami
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…
Some Brain Snacks at Think Tank
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…
An Incredible Bone Marrow Dish at K.O. Prime
Bone marrow with citrus parsley salad and garlic crostini wedges on a bed of beef tongue marmalade at KO Prime. Although very disappointed in myself for not being courageous enough to whip out a flashlight or use my huge EXILIM on 1600 ISO, much to the relief of my poor ex-boyfriend who had to spend nearly…
The Oceanaire Seafood Room

The sides match the entrees perfectly and are fantastic. Every bite I had here was memorable. Oceanaire’s Surf and Turf The freshness…
A Strange Little App at 5 Napkin Burger
Deep Fried Pickles and Pastrami at5 Napkin Burger The burgers at 5 Napkin Burger are definitely “to write home about” but nothing was as memorable for me as this dish….A dill pickle wrapped in pastrami and deep fried, served with sauerkraut and a drizzle of mustard oil. What a strange and intriguingly delicious appetizer! The golden crunch…
A Clammy Meal on Georges Island
Fried Clam Belly Roll and Cup of Clam Chowder at Summer Shack on Georges Island I had to review this meal, as it holds a very special place in my heart. This summer (2011) I worked for Island Alliance and was therefore out on Georges Island almost every day. As the Summer Shack was 50% for Park employees, I ended…
