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…
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 is a classic, spacious, upscale seafood room which prides itself on serving only the freshest, best quality seafood and printing a new menu daily based on what they’ve got in the kitchen. The sides match the entrees perfectly and are fantastic. Every bite I had here was memorable. Oceanaire’s Surf and Turf The freshness…
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…
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…
Sullivan’s (Sully’s) at Castle Island has been serving up dogs and crinkle-cut fries to a line reaching out the door since 1951. It’s a simple combination, one that costs only about $4.00, and I could not imagine eating anywhere else after throwing a football around (or at least watching the guys do so) on Carson…
I like Bloody Mary´s. A lot. They´re high in vitamins, they´re filling, they contain hangover-alleviating, therapeutic vodka. They´re the perfect brunch meal. Here are some of the best I´ve had in Boston: The East Coast Grill near Inman Square is my favorite place to get Sunday Brunch Bloodies in Cambridge. Why? Because it’s DIY. 22 oz glass…
The post-work, pre-drinkswithfriends espresso is a crucial part of my day as it defines the end of one day-part and the beginning of another, waking me up from office slump and getting me excited about the night ahead of me. This espresso must also usually be accompanied by a pastry to get the job done…
That Best Bite
