We’ve talked about a lot of interesting foods and food events on Matt’s Meals, but the other night I think I encountered something truly different. And while I’ve never seen it before, I do hope to experience it again! For those of you who may not know, cholent is an ancient recipe for a […]
The other day, I was driving to teach at the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office after hosting another live author interview at a senior community or library or Rotary Club meeting or maybe all of those and I realized I had not had lunch. Reaching into my teaching bag, I was fortunate enough to find a
Whenever I am at a loss for food friends to celebrate (as if!), I can always turn to our friends at Boston Public Market for good food news. I recently mentioned how Q’s Nuts has recently released a redesign of their popular packages and I never miss an opportunity to grab a Beantown Pastrami sandwich
As I love to share happy news from the food world, I wanted to be sure to note that one of my favorite places to eat is celebrating 10 years in business! If Hearth Pizzeria just had some of the most delicious, freshly—made and truly locally-sourced pizza around that would be something to celebrate, but
It’s Passover time, so we need to check in with Steve Peljovich at Michael’s Deli in Brookline.

As a new-old administration settles in with an eye towards hindering the immigration that made (and continues to make) this country great, many are thinking of making a run for the border. Fortunately, for those of us who get turned away, there is a great way to get the taste of Canada without having to
Though I have been hanging out at Cambridgeside since it was known as the Galleria and Lechmere was more than just a stop on the recently-expanded green line, I had never considered it a place to go to eat. Recently, however, that has changed with the opening of CanalSide Food & Drink at CambridgeSide. Anchored
We have often spoken about how Sol Sidell has used his South Street Diner near South Station to host special events that bring the community together. From hot dog parties when the Sox season starts to fundraisers for various groups and organizations (including Boston Senior Home Care, for whom he served as VP for 10
Though I still miss Galit’s Treats in Newton Centre, the growing family of Bakey bakeries has helped ease the pain with their delicious menu of babkas and other bodacious baked goods. I really can’t get enough of this place and have made their locations in Boston, Brookline, and Newton regular hosts for business meetings and
