March 30, 2011 Dorado Tacos

I follow Free Food Boston’s blog, and towards the end of last year there were a lot of posts about Dorado Taco’s…talking about how fantastic their brunch was. It only took me what, 5 months to get there? Check out the Free Food Boston Post on Dorado. We arrived on a Saturday morning at around […]

March 17, 2011 Tatte Bakery

On March 15th, I was checking my twitter account and saw that Tatte had fresh strawberry hamantaschen (@tattecookies), handmade jam…nice. Sold. When I got home after work, Tatte was my first stop. It was a beautiful day outside, sunny-trying to warm up…but seeing the outside tables made me think that there is hope that spring […]

March 9, 2011 Genki Ya

I had been hearing about Genki Ya from my friends who live in Brookline-they rave about it. The draw to this place is that they have organic sushi and you can get the rolls made with brown rice as a healthier option. The restaurant is pretty small, there is a sushi counter and a few […]

January 3, 2011 Sichuan Gourmet

What does everyone do on Christmas day? Movies and Chinese food. We skipped the movies, but headed over to the Sichuan Gourmet restaurant on Beacon Street, where the old Chef Changs used to be. As predicted, it was mobbed. Pretty casual and minimal decor. It feels as though they are hurrying you in and hurrying […]

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 27, 2010 Olecito

I was out on a walk, and had missed lunch, so I decided to stop in at the Olecito at BU-700 Commonwealth Ave. I had my eye on this place, but never had a chance to go in. Besides, how could I cheat on Anna’s? Before writing this review, I checked out Yelp and they […]

October 1, 2010 Cuttys Pork Sandwich Saturdays

I reviewed Cuttys back in March http://dgrubs.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/cuttys/. I had been meaning to try their pork sandwich, which they only serve on Saturdays, but the timing has just never been right. Until last weekend…. What made me remember I wanted to go there, was a tweet they sent out, linking to a facebook photo of them […]

August 4, 2010 Elephant Walk-Boston

I love this place. I think that every time we take people here they are a little hesitant. When you hear that you’re going to a French Cambodian restaurant, I don’t think you know what to expect. Located in the St. Mary’s area of Brookline/Boston, the Elephant Walk is a refreshing change of pace. They […]
