As part of a birthday celebration, a friend suggested that we all get some sushi from Cafe Sushi. He'd been raving about it for a while and took his opportunity to have the rest of us try it out.

Kinfolks Award Winning BBQ Review – Taunton, MA
Upon complaining about the lack of good barbecue in New England, a friend of mine who works in Taunton, MA told me about a "shack" he saw there that sells barbecue.

Amsterdam Falafelshop Review – Boston, MA (Kenmore Sq.)
A week ago I was invited to try the new Amsterdam Falafelshop location in Kenmore Square in Boston, MA.
