A chance meeting with Michael Tallon of Townsend’s
I decided to take a short walk during my lunch break yesterday afternoon. For kicks, I walked down past Townsend’s (81 Fairmount Ave in Hyde Park) to peek into the window of TC’s Coffee Shop (next door). Nope… not open yet. As I walked back, I paused for a moment to read Townsend’s menu. The...
Boson’t Best… at least according to the Improper
By Tammy (BFW) in Anything and Everything Food, Hot Gossip, In and Around Boston, Restaurants on Jul 28th, 2008 | No Comments
A few weeks ago, the “Boston’s Best” edition of the Improper Bostonian came out. I was lucky enough to score a copy a couple of days before the real release… but I decided against posting on it. I didn’t want to have a knee-jerk reaction to the awards. Rather, I wanted to...
Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Coming soon to the Stop and Shop plaza in Dedham (right next to Chipotle grill). Never heard of it, but clearly it’s a chain. Anybody know anything about this place?? The menu is mostly beef centric, but it looks like they have Kosher dogs and also veggie burgers and grilled cheese. People with...
Asian-inspired Deviled Eggs
We had some good friends over Saturday night… to help use up some of the leftover booze from my birthday party and to eat the left over hot appetizers that we never got around to making. Since the hot apps are pretty point-heavy (Weight Watcher’s lingo), I decided to throw together a few...

On Christmas Eve of this past year, I was in the Stop and Shop parking lot...
3-Point Salad
It’s not easy being a food lover on Weight Watchers… but I’m doing well (down 8.6 pounds as of last Friday), so it’s worth it for me to stick to my buns… I mean guns.I’ve been trying to come up with “creative” dishes that satisfy my need for both good food...
When Bloggers Collide
After saying we should do it for way too long, some fellow food bloggers and myself finally got together for some shared noshing Thursday night at the Savant Project in Mission Hill. My partners in crime were MTFM (Mike, The Food Monkey, POCC (Pam of Cave Cibum and LVS (Lily Von Schtoop of Calamity Shazaam...

Starbucks Vivanno is here today
So I walked into the West Roxbury Starbucks today and saw that they have formally began serving the new Vivanno drinks. These “smoothie-like” concoctions are touted as “nourishing blends”.
There are two flavors: Orange Mango Banana — a whole banana, blended with whey protein...
