If you're a seasonal eating type of person then a New England summer invokes connotations of fresh seafood and trips to the seashore. I enjoy seafood year-round (let's face it, most of it is frozen before it gets to us lay people anyway), but somehow it just tastes better in the summer. There are all... Continue Reading →
Wahlburgers Review – Hingham, MA
Massachusetts' celebrity family, the Wahlbergs, have taken over Hingham within the past few years. Originally, they opened a fine dining restaurant called, "Alma Nove," in the Hingham Shipyard. Shortly after that, they opened a burger joint right across the street, aptly named Wahlburgers. I've had the opportunity to eat at both restaurants and both of... Continue Reading →
Lotus Pepper Food Truck Review – Providence, RI
In full disclosure, I'm personally acquainted with the owners and employees of the Lotus Pepper food truck. That means my review may be a little biased, but generally, I tried my best to be objective. It didn't hurt their cause though that I happen to love Vietnamese food, which Lotus Pepper specializes in serving! What... Continue Reading →
Shabu – Hot Pot Review – Quincy, MA
I haven't been to many hot pot restaurants and when I was younger I used to scoff at the idea that you had to complcook your own food at a restaurant. I mean, what are you paying for if not someone else cooking your food for you? Nonetheless, a few years ago, I tried hot... Continue Reading →
Ted’s Montana Grill Review – Cranston, RI
My brother's 30th birthday celebration occurred this past weekend and I wanted to take him to a mid-level steakhouse for dinner. Due to the fact that it was also Mother's Day weekend, I couldn't find any local steakhouses that could accommodate a large party (about 10 people) on a Saturday night. The only place that...

Gennaro’s Eatery Review – Quincy, MA
I've passed by Gennaro's Eatery more times than I can count. I always thought to myself that I'd like to try their food, but nothing about the outside of their restaurant impressed an urgent need to do so even though their slogan is "Family Dining With Flair." I read some reviews and they seemed on... Continue Reading →
Drink Craft Beer – Spring Beer Fest – Boston, MA
A few weeks ago my friends, Double Down, Dirty (yes, we call him Dirty), and I went to the last session of the Drink Craft Beer Spring Beer Fest. The theme this time around was hoppy beers like IPA's. Upon entering the Beer Fest, which was at Space 57 at the Revere Hotel in Boston,... Continue Reading →
Sun and Moon Korean Restaurant Review – East Providence, RI
I've had Korean food before, but mostly in the form of delicious pickled vegetables, noodles, and kimchi (a famously fermented, spicy cabbage). Hearing that I'd never had a very popular dish called, Bibimbap that consists of an extremely hot stone pot filled with rice, vegetables, meat, and topped with an egg, my girlfriend insisted that...

Chau Chow – Chinese Dim Sum Review – Dorchester, MA
Dim Sum holds a magical place in my heart since the first time, my friend, AmasianV, introduced me to it in college. From that point on, AmasianV and I always considered it our own private hangover cure. Granted, all of that extra sodium probably didn't help us out any, but... what can I say? It...
