April 19, 2016 Branch Line

Located in Watertown, Branch Line is a hot new restaurant in Watertown, known for their rotisserie chicken. They recently opened for Saturday lunch, which is served from 12pm – 3pm. We went during the week for lunch and while we were there right when they opened, don’t let the empty seats in the photos fool […]

April 5, 2016 Pepe’s Pizza

In December, Pepe’s pizza opened in the Chestnut Hill Mall. The opening was greatly anticipated and the lines for both dine in and take out were long! We got there early (on day 2 of being open) and were close to the front of the line – luckily we were able to get a seat […]

March 31, 2016 Saltbox Kitchen

On a rainy afternoon, a few friends and I headed out to suburbia to try out Saltbox Kitchen in Concord. Ben Elliott is at the helm at Saltbox Kitchen, as the chef and farmer. Elliott was previously the Chef de Cuisine at No.9 Park, opened Lynch’s demonstration kitchen Stir, and launched Lynch’s catering company 9 […]

March 29, 2016 Dumpling Palace

Leah and I decided to grab lunch at Dumpling Palace one afternoon. Located on Mass Ave, parking can be dicey at times – best to try and take public transportation there! The fun part about this place is that there’s a little window and you can look in on the chef making the dumplings by […]

March 24, 2016 McDonald’s at Fairsted

Talk about being behind – this was from back in December!! When I think of McDonald’s I have childhood memories of my mom taking me there for dinner. We would drive through the drive through and then eat in the car, a special Monday night treat while my dad was working…even though sometimes it was […]

March 18, 2016 Bourbon and Babes at The Quarry

We were invited to The Quarry in Hingham to spend the evening learning about bourbon from Beverage Manager David Danforth. Executive Chef Greg Jordan provided light bites to pair with each drink. While it was a bit too cool this evening, we are looking forward to warmer weather when they open the patio – check out the […]

February 25, 2016 Banyan

After a fun evening in the South End, we decided to grab a quick bite at Banyan in the South End. Soaked all the way through, I should have learned my lesson the last time I got caught out in the rain that my North Face jacket isn’t waterproof. We seek refuge in the back […]

February 23, 2016 Kimchi Kitchen

After reading about Kimchi Kitchen, Leah and I decided that we just HAD to go. The restaurant, located in Cambridge, opened in 2015 and has been making delicious Korean sould food ever since. The small 16 seat restaurant leaves a little to be desired in the decor department, but we are here for the food. […]

February 18, 2016 Shake Shack

A couple of friends and I met up at Shake Shack in Chestnut Hill to check out their new chicken sandwich. The “chick’n shack” ($6.95) is 100% all natural cage free chicken served on a non GMO bun.  It’s crisped up and served with lettuce, pickles and a buttermilk herb mayo. Mayo isn’t my thing, […]

February 3, 2016 Sweetgreen

January was going to be all about catching up on posts from December…but then life happened, and I got that weird cold/cough that lingers for what feels like months thing…and all productivity went out the window. So, by now you probably know that SweetGreen has opened up in the Prudential, right near the Sheraton entrance […]
