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 →
B.T.’s Smokehouse Review – Sturbridge, MA
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 →
Townsman Review – Boston, MA
I have been waiting for Townsman to open in Boston ever since hearing the sad news that Chef Matthew Jennings was closing up his incredible restaurant, Farmstead, in Providence, RI. Two friends invited my wife and I to join them for dinner when they secured a rare weekend reservation. We all couldn't wait to see if... Continue Reading →
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. I will admit that I was a little skeptical at first of another falafel store opening up because I'm especially picky about my falafel. There are a lot of bad imitators out there as well as...

Luckily, my friend Joe who lives nearby, suggested that we grab breakfast there to catch up. Not only did I enjoy hanging out with my friend, but I also found a... Continue Reading →
Chili Head Barbeque – West Bridgewater, MA
A friend of mine was raving to me about Chili Head Barbeque for a long time before I actually had the chance to try it out. I'm a person that is constantly looking for good barbecue around Massachusetts and Rhode Island because the simple truth is that the local area is hurting for genuinely good... Continue Reading →
Warehouse Bar and Grille – Boston, MA
During my bachelor party weekend, a few of my friends decided to take me out to dinner on Friday night while we waited for some of the other guys to show up. We had a couple of suites rented at the Hilton Boston, so we looked for somewhere to eat close by that would allow... Continue Reading →
Lumiere – Newton, MA
I may have mentioned that my birthday and my fiance's birthday are a mere seven days apart. As a result, we decided that instead of scrambling within one week to get gifts for one another and essentially trade off festivities, we decided that each year we would take one another out to a great meal....
