Boston Restaurant Reviews: Mary Chung Chinese in Central Square Cambridge
The first time I heard of Mary Chung’s place in Central Square Cambridge, it was through my friend Doug Sweetser at Black Duck Software in Waltham, MA, who used to frequent the establishment in order to get food that was spicy enough for his tastes. Doug, you see, has the unique ability to eat a [...]
Dear Diner: Up For Breakfast in Manchester, VT – Score: 10/10!
Let me first start by explaining what it’s like to go on a trip with Bob Owen – my father. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been to the destination once or a thousand times, you’ll always feel like a tourist. He’s a man in constant need of information – “What are you known for”, “Who [...]
Boston Restaurant Review – “Dear Diner”: S&S Deli in Inman Square (7/10)
It’s been a staple since 1919, serving up the Cambridge locals with every, and all kinds of deli treats. So it’s hard to imagine the food being any thing less then good. While considered a deli and not a diner, on Sunday mornings they invite the diner crowd with open arms making them a prime [...]
Southern Food in a Northern City: Hungry Mother Restaurant Review
This past Wednesday evening our restaurant club paid a visit to a restaurant that many of us had been wanting to try for some time now, based on some of the excellent reviews of the place in the local press. The spot is (awesomely) called ‘Hungry Mother‘ and it’s located near the MIT campus in [...]
Boston Restaurant Review: Fugakyu – Boston’s Old Guard of Sushi in Coolidge Corner
Maybe it’s inevitable for any restaurant over the course of its lifetime – that it’s hard to keep up a really great thing night after night and year after year. My memory seems to remember that this regal place in Brookline served up some pretty amazing sushi when I was living in Coolidge Corner 5 [...]
Boston Restaurant Review: Craigie on Main – Awesome Local New England Food and Best New Restaurant in Boston
Let me put this quite simply, because to be honest it’s difficult to articulate quite the way I’d like. I’ve found my favorite overall ‘restaurant experience’ in Boston, and it lives at the ‘Ringside’ seats at Craigie on Main in Cambridge. Not sure what ‘Ringside’ seats refer to? The pics should help – there are [...]

Brookline Lunch – A Central Square Diamond in the Rough
After living in Central Square for exactly a year this week, I thought it would be an appropriate time to write a post in honor of my neighborhood. For those of you who don’t know much about Central Square, Cambridge, it is a fascinating place. Some remarkable things have occurred here over the years – [...]
Bagel Rising – Home of the Jackson Crook: Bagel Sandwich Perfection?
We don’t do restaurant reviews that much on TFD, but after my breakfast today I had to write about this place. Bagel Rising in Allston is a jewel in the rough that is the student ghetto of Allston, MA – just west of Boston. Bagel Rising isn’t your typical bagel spot that you’d find in [...]
Cooking Well
The longer I have cooked professionally, the more frequently I have come to ask, what does it mean to cook well? It’s somewhat of a loaded question. Plenty of people cook well at home every day, with nothing more glorious than ingredients from a local chain store. To the professional chef it means a host [...]
