I love a good sandwich, guys. Who doesn’t? Honestly, how could you not? Delicious fillings between bread with the perfect spread (look at me rhyme) is always a good idea for lunch, and I’ve found another one worth talking about. On days I go to yoga I like to come home and eat something healthy,…

My New Life as a Chef
A few weeks ago I started my new second job at The Regal Beagle, and I finally feel like I am getting into the groove of things, and I want to chat about it a bit. I work the Garde Manger station, which is cold appetizers, salads, and desserts. My days at work usually consist…
An Awesome Opportunity, pt. 2
On Sunday, The Russian and I went to Rialto for a cooking demonstration by Jody Adams, the owner and master chef who has been a famed Boston chef for many years. This demo was made even better because Rialto had partnered with Brooklyn Brewery (made even better than the Brewery is located in my native…
A Great Birthday
So it was my birthday last Saturday, and I don’t really like making a big deal over my special day. Luckily for me, The Russian is an awesome guy and hooked it up. Knowing my love for local chef Ken Oringer, he took me to Clio, Oringer’s flagship and an institution in Boston restaurants (the…
Cheap Eats: Smoken Joe’s
I apologize in advance for these photos. They’re not perfect in the least, but it was dark and I didn’t want to use flash and kill the rocking vibe of this place, so I just did what I could and hoped for the best. That being said, I had the most awesome experience the other…
Eating for Monkeys
This past weekend, I was lucky enough to represent my job at a benefit for Helping Hands, a wonderful organization that pairs the paralyzed with a Capuchin monkey to help them with tasks and provide companionship throughout their lives. The cause is incredible, and I really wish the monkeys could have been there (although we…
Cheap Eats: Bon Me (Again!)
So I’ve written about my love of Bon Me before, but (gasp!) I had never tried their sandwich, the classic Banh Mi. I saw the sandwich in a recent issue of Food Network Magazine, and my mouth started to water and I started to look for a good time and location to find one of…
Cheap Eats: Petit Robert Bistro
Sometimes, when my schedule isn’t packed and I’m not home asleep, I like to head downtown to visit The Russian at work. Last week, he urged me to come downtown to visit him because he had a place to eat that he thought I would enjoy. He was right. We went to Petit Robert Central,…
Cheap Eats: Barcelona Wine Bar
The Russian and I have recently made the move out to Brighton, and while its farther out than our old place in Fenway, it certainly has given me a whole new group of restaurants and areas to check out, which is awesome. It’s good to know the city in which you live. So after I…
Restaurant Week Bliss: No. 9 Park
Restaurant week is almost over (sad), but I have a few more stories to share (fun). Last week, The Russian and I headed over to the very fancy No. 9 Park, which is owned by Barbara Lynch, another great Boston chef, and the mentor of last season’s Top Chef winner. We walk inside, and I…
