Oh Hi New Neighbor | Charlie’s Sandwich Shoppe

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Meesh

Moving week is officially over and I am finally settling into life in my new ‘hood: the South End. Wahoo! I loved Beacon Hill but let’s be serious, the food options over there just don’t compare. Now I have tomato and cheddar omelettes like this just a block away… I discovered Charlie’s Freshman year at Northeastern by googling “best breakfast in Boston” and I’ve been coming back ever since. And I totally agree that it’s the best breakfast in Boston. … read more

Everything Else | Oak Long Bar + Kitchen

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Meesh

I am sad to say that I never went to the original Oak Bar. I probably would have loved it because after trying the new one I’ve been back four separate times. No joke. The interior renovation is absolutely stunning. It’s a great place to class it up for a night but also fine to grab a casual glass of wine after work. Even though the menu totally accommodates people that want a full-on dinner, but I think it’s better for a … read more

Food Porn Friday | Burrata | Oak Long Bar + Kitchen

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Meesh

As we said last week…’tis the season for tomatoes. And you know what that means: MOZZ. And lots of it. Burrata, mozz’s creamy little sister is not only a favorite, it’s a fetish. As a JAC reader you may already know my love for burrata runs deep, I eat it and order it every chance I get. Which is exactly why this was the first dish to grab my attention when I took a look at Oak Long Bar + Kitchen‘s menu: Maplebrook … read more

Food Porn Friday | Fried Green Tomatoes | Granary Tavern

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Jacki

Tis the season of the tomato. Heirlooms are taking over your Instagram feeds, our favorite food mags have them plastered all over their covers, and restaurants around town are taking advantage of the multiple varieties available for these few short months. The new Granary Tavern over on the Greenway is no different, with their Fried Tomato Salad. A play on the traditional Caprese, this simple salad is concocted with fried green tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and some basil balsamic syrup. Combining every texture … read more

Firefly On Paradise | Off The Strip In Las Vegas

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Meesh

Vegas has some fantastic restaurants on the Strip but they are all absurdly expensive. Unless of course you’re into buffets or staying at the Excalibur or something, in which case we might not be on the same page about anything ever. Strip restaurants are great for your one or two big nights out in Vegas, but if you’re ever in town and don’t want to blow all your money on an expensive dinner, I’ve got just the place for you … read more

Lineage | Summer Seafood and White Wine in Brookline

Posted on August 14, 2012 by Jacki

Lineage in Brookline recently wrapped their fifth annual Half Price Bottled Wine month. Yup, that’s right. Every July Lineage features their stellar wine selection at a serious discount, so you know it didn’t take long for Meesh and I to make a reservation. I’m sorry I’m just getting around to recapping this lovely dinner now, as Meesh mentioned in last week’s Food Porn, August has been crazy busy, but we’re hoping to catch up over the next couple weeks! On our most recent … read more

Food Porn Friday | Fried Lobster, Cheese & Caramel | Nix’s Mate

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Meesh

This exists… Whoever thought to mix lobster, cheese and caramel all in one dish is nothing short of a legend in my mind. And then to somehow make it taste good?! Genius. At Nix’s Mate they serve lightly fried lobster with a caramel sauce and warm vermont cheddar sauce (!!!) and green onions and chiles. What is that? I don’t even know. What I do know is when you see it you’ll inevitably have the desire to fill a kiddie pool with … read more

Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse (Minus the Steak)

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Jacki

I’ve been meaning to make my way over to Davio’s forever now. Finally, after the stars had a brief alignment the other night, I found myself sitting in the dining room with Meesh and the lovely laydays from BostInno ready to get after some dinner. First impression — pretty fancy, but that was expected after looking at the prices online. Second impression came by way of our server, Tonino, who was so gracious and charming and insightful we were practically begging him … read more

Food Porn Friday | Satay Bean Curd Courtesy of Penang

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Jacki

Those of you who follow our other blog, Chow Down Beantown, may have seen this photo before, but I can’t help but revisit it. It may very well be one of my favorite dishes, for now, that is. The quintessential small snack, or the perfect start to a light lunch, deep fried tofu topped with peanut sauce and cucumber is wasssup. I’m a complete sucker for Thai food, after living in Chiang Mai for a summer I started to become obsessed. I can live … read more

West Bridge In Kendall Doin’ Big Thangs

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Meesh

I know, we already wrote about West Bridge. I hate to be repetitive when there are so many great restaurants out there, but a recent media dinner there was just TOO EPIC not to share. Man oh man, West Bridge is hot fire. Like Flo Rida ‘oh hot damn this is my jam’ status. This is one of those places that not only executes perfectly but uses exciting ingredients and techniques that put a breath of fresh ayer (ayer) into … read more
