Soul-less in the South End
By Tammy (BFW) in In and Around Boston on Oct 30th, 2007 | 1 Comment
Bummer… www.boston.com reports today that a 50-year South End fixture will soon be no more. Bob’s Southern Bistro (known to many of us as Bob the Chef’s) is closing! It’s a sad day… no more finger-licking soul food while listening to the smokey jazz artists of the past and...
Pub Grub

So, still recovering from my hangover (from Blogtoberfest) and the frightful sight I witnessed at Abe & Louie’s later that evening (see previous blog), I meandered over to Matt Murphy’s pub in Brookline Village to grab a bite with some old friends yesterday. I hadn’t been there...
More than a mouthful at Abe & Louie’s
Try an eye-full! What is the one thing you don’t want to see at a fine dining establishment? Two people getting it on, out in the open, about 5 feet from the restroom doors! Yes, that’s right… my girlfriend and I came out of the ladies room, made a wrong turn and, instead of seeing...

Excerpt from the press release, following the Uno Chicago Grill opening in Swampscott I missed last night…“Boston, Massachusetts – October 23, 2007 – Led by restaurateurs with more than a hundred years of combined experience, Boston-based Uno Chicago Grill® is fast becoming one of the...

While not necessarily food related… unless reading about turkeys makes you want to eat turkey… it appears that Brookline has been having some wild turkey problems. This is too funny not to share:http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2007/10/23/turkeys_take_to_cities_towns/
Rocking the Casbah
Saturday night was “date night”… our bi-weekly pilgrimage to a night alone with each other and [hopefully] good food. This week, we went to Tangierino in Charlestown, an exotic, fairly authentic, Moroccan restaurant and casbah lounge — and we were not disappointed!
Our reservations...
Change is Good

When we moved to West Roxbury (from Back Bay) five years ago, we went through a restaurant withdrawal period. We were very disappointed in the lack of good food and culture… and we couldn’t even use Dining In anymore; our only take options for delivery were Chinese food or pizza. My how things...
Awww.. Shucks!
My girlfriend Ami and I went to B & G Oyster’s last night for a long overdue Girl’s Night Out. It was my first visit but her 4th or 5th… that, in itself, says something. We called ahead and found out that they do have valet ($16 bucks a pop) but do not take reservations for parties...
Bada Bing
The title of this blog was the first thing that came to mind after my trip down to NJ this past weekend. We went to a very large, very ornate, very expensive, VERY “NJ Italian” wedding. Lots of food, lots of drink, lots of fun!
For the heck of it, I looked up “Bada Bing” on Wikipedia....
Burrito Update
Well, I got takeout from Chipotle Grille in Dedham last night. I said I would try it and I did. Was it as good as Boca Grande or Anna’s Taqueria? No… but it was pretty good, especially for a chain. They have a somewhat limited menu, offering just one size of burrito (which is HUGE) and a...
