Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ (https://wbznewsradio.iheart.com/) weekdays at 11:55 AM.
The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:
Thanks to my growing twins, I had to leave Southie just as the food boom was settling in. And while I do not get back as often as I like, Fat Baby is sure to bring me back soon!
With its dark woods and dim lighting (and, I am happy to say, NO flatscreens), Fat Baby is a great place to focus on good friends and good food. Centered around a copper-topped bar that dispenses delicious Mai Tais, Singapore Slings, and more original creations like the 8PM Taco (as well as customizable mocktails for the designated drivers in the family), Fat Baby offers such visit-worthy delights as sweet and melty Korean fried chicken, richly satisfying crispy rice cakes with tuna and ponzu, a shaved brussel sprout salad that brings the healthy with almonds and ginger, and a sushi list that can be ordered from the menu or on a handy a la carte card that encourages experimentation. No matter what you order for apps and mains, be sure to ask about the off-menu desserts and do not be shy about over-ordering, as the helpful staff is happy to box stuff up while you eat so you can try more (which I highly recommend).
So while I miss Southie, I am happy to say that there are many reasons to go back, including one scale-tipping toddler that makes everyone smile.
