November 16, 2015 Freddo

We decided to skip dessert at Cru and walk our meal off before getting dessert. We end up at Freddo on King Street. The chain opened it’s first shop in Argentina in 1969, and it is now the leader in “helado” premium Argentine gelato. Check out the helado process here. The shop is tiny, with […]

November 15, 2015 Quahog Republic

Jay was over the house one day and we were talking about lobster rolls and where the best ones were down at the Cape. I was telling him about the Barking Claw and he told me about Quahog Republic. The restaurant is a dive bar with large LCD televisions on the wall and keno at […]

My friend Eric and I went to a Good Ones party at the W Hotel and afterwards we decided to grab a bite close by. My friend Sarah was also at the party and had mentioned that her Uber driver was telling her about this great Korean fried chicken place. The only Korean chicken place […]

November 13, 2015 Cru Cafe

On our last night in Charleston we had dinner at Cru Cafe. While located on Pinckney street, its on the corner of Motley! Everywhere in Charleston is pretty casual (with only  2 or 3 exceptions). Cru Cafe is located just steps from our hotel. The open kitchen gives this place a cozy feeling. There are smaller […]

November 12, 2015 Naco Taco

Naco Taco opened this spring in Central Square. While November doesn’t scream patio season, we have had a stretch of near 70 degree days, so of course we were going to take advantage of the last few days of warm weather – and we weren’t alone. We showed up a little early, before they were open, […]

November 11, 2015 Poogan’s Porch

Located next door to Husk is Poogan’s Porch. We ate lunch here the third day of our trip. Where does the name come from? The Victorian house was built in 1888, and in 1976 the then owners sold the house and moved away, leaving their dog, Poogan. The dog served as the official greeter at his […]

November 11, 2015 The Macintosh

On our second night in Charleston, we had an early dinner at The Macintosh. Executive Chef Jeremiah Bacon is a three time James Beard semifinalist. He uses locally sourced ingredients, which means the menu changes daily. We are having a super early dinner so there aren’t many other people here – a few people are grabbing […]

Everyone I know who has been to Charleston said that we HAD to go to Husk. Located in an old house from the late 19th centuty, Husk is run by James Beard Award winning chef Sean Brock of McCrady’s. The decor inside is simple and chic. We headed there for lunch on day 2 of […]

November 10, 2015 Beard Cat’s Sweet Shop

After dinner upstairs at The Obstinate Daughter, we headed downstairs to Beard Cat’s Sweet Shop for dessert. The gelateria serves coffee and acts as a retail space for the restaurant. It’s hard to choose from all the delicious flavors and to make things harder, they also have gelato sandwiches and popsicles!! Beard Cat’s proudly served […]

November 9, 2015 Harvest Dinner at Not Your Average Joe’s

I know what you’re thinking when I say I was invited to Not Your Average Joe’s for a harvest dinner. You’re probably thinking of the older locations, like the one in Watertown. But the new location in Waltham is the future of the brand. The restaurant is conveniently located right off of Route 128 and […]
