November 16, 2010 The Meat House
I find it amusing that the Meat House in Brookline is located next to a health club. Regardless, I love this place. It became even more fantastic when they had a groupon, $20 for $40 worth of food. They sell much more than meat at the Meat House. In addition to a fresh meat case, […]
November 9, 2010 Hotel Chocolat
I stopped in for something sweet and ended up with a Caramelissimo bar: caramel and milk chocolate topped with florentine, caramel buttons and cinder toffee. Basically a little bit of everything! I’ve never had anything bad from this place-how can it be bad when it’s almost 600 calories per bar (1/3 of a bar is […]

November 1, 2010 Formaggio Kitchen
Formaggio Kitchen is located in Cambridge, just outside of Harvard Square. Parking can sometimes be tough on the street Huron Ave., but it’s worth it if you can find a spot. I had seen a tweet by @formaggio saying that they had just received a shipment of Cobb Hill Ascutney Mountain cheese. Ah the wonders […]

October 28, 2010 Clear Flour Bread
I love Clear Flour Bread! Every time I go there, I remember just why I love it so much, yet I forget about it from time to time-out of sight out of mind I suppose. Clear Flour is located at 178 Thorndike Street in Brookline, in a residential neighborhood. The smells of the freshly baked […]

October 25, 2010 5 Bites Cupcakes
I couldn’t wait to try 5 Bites, they had won Best of Boston 2010 and had this nice story, two women from Massachusetts started the company in Natick and the business grew into the space in Wellesley, MA. The store can be hard to find, there’s a narrow driveway, you have to park down back […]

October 21, 2010 Cakes Bakery
I had written about Cakes bakery before (http://dgrubs.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/cakes-bakery/). I was in the neighborhood and figured I’d stop in for another try. I made a quick search of their Facebook page to see what was going on-and found out that they had been interviewed by the Phantom Gourmet-pretty cool! I was in around 6pm on a […]
October 13, 2010 Conversations with Katie
Katie and I always have good conversations, mainly about food. She was telling me that the Stop and Shop near her office on Harvard Avenue in Brookline has these great rolls-the Miami roll. Located in the bakery section, these are rolls in the case, baked by Stop and Shop. I have to say that I […]
October 7, 2010 Ivy Fine Cakes
Our friends got married this summer and they got their cake at Ivy’s. I thought they sounded familiar-but I had never been to Canton or Braintree for cakes. When I walked in the door I remembered that I had seen them featured on the Phantom Gourmet-they have a replica cake that they made for them […]
