With the recent demise of long-time favorite Brasserie Jo, a hole has been left in the Downtown dining scene, especially for those who enjoy partaking of Boston’s other great realm- the arts. Many were the nights when patrons previewed the Pops or summarized the Symphony at this famous French eatery and now that it is […]
After rib-bing it up on Food Network and the World Food Championships, Ray “Dr. BBQ” Lampe has brought his Chicago fire to Sunshine City. Parked just across the lot from Tropicana Field, Lampe’s rays shine brighter than any others in Tampa Bay and his smoker is always red hot! While the Texas-tall menu features such
In addition to being a world-traveling food writer, I also offer marketing consulting to individuals and entities of all sizes and styles.

Super-chef Tim Maslow has had a storied career. After transforming his father’s Watertown diner Strip T’s into a (SORELY-missed) destination, bringing the rebellious Ribelle to Brookline and then disappearing for a while, Maslow is back with a virtuosic vengeance with the riddlingly-named Japanese-tinged bistro Whaling in Oklahoma (http://whalinginoklahoma.com).

With a kitchen helmed by former Locke Ober menu master Kat McCoart and management that brings Lyons and other experience to the long wooden bar emblazoned
Though Donato Frattaroli may be best known as part of the familial force behind such legendary North End eateries as Il Molo, Artu, Ducali, Filippo, Lucia, and Ward 8 (not to mention the annual mega-fundraiser Taste of the North End), he recently dropped anchor in another popular (and dare we say trendy?) neighborhood- Quincy’s
