The location where Rebeco opened is know to locals as a somewhat cursed spot. Mostly because of the high turnover of restaurants that open and close there. Rebeco is the second Mexican restaurant to inhabit the building having taken over from the previous tenant, Plaza Azteca. Luckily, Rebeco offers authentic plate style Mexican food (with...

Here's how I knew Dumpling House was good the first time I ate there: A friend of mine and I had just gone to whiskey tasting and were feeling the effects just a touch. We decided to do something we don't normally do and that was to have dinner at two different restaurants. The first... Continue Reading →
The search for great barbecue in Southern New England is not a futile effort, but it is most certainly an effort. There is, of course, plenty of edible barbecue, but really great barbecue, like the kind you might find in the Southern U.S., is hard to come by. There are a few havens I've come...

Co-Owner and manager, Yi Peng, explained to me how he and Steve Liu started the WOW Barbecue food truck some time in 2013 that featured Chinese street food (BBQ skewers) as its staple cuisine.

When a representative for Nola's Fresh Foods contacted me to try a free sample of their Salsa Fresca, I was more than interested if not a little skeptical. The name threw me for a loop because NOLA usual means New Orleans, LA,... Continue Reading →
Dim Sum is one of my all time favorite meal experiences. I've been going for brunch for years, but still nowhere near as much as I would like. Chau Chow City in Chinatown (not to be confused with Chau Chow in Dorchester, MA, which is unrelated) is one of my favorite places to get dim... Continue Reading →
Sturbridge, MA seems a little out of the way for a lot of people to drum up a reason to go there other than to visit Sturbridge Village, a "living museum" of New England in the 1830's. As it turns out there is another reason to head out to Sturbridge (or stay there if you're from... Continue Reading →
I stumbled upon From the Seoul while driving by it in North Dartmouth, MA. It caught my eye because aside from the fact that the name is a humorous play on words (Soul and Seoul) that incorporates the capital of South Korea into the name, Korean restaurants in Southern, MA are few and far between....
