I went to Bonfire last night in Boston for tacos, pretty good. Great bar scene. I had the halibut, Gourmet Guy the steak skirt and my friend the Bar Babe went w/ lobster. Such tender treats served in soft corn tacos with a healthy smear of guac and a side salad blew all tapas notions away. Finally a pleasing Todd English experience. I haven't given up on you Todd! What are your food plans this wkend?
We had a busy week of food news. Last night's show went well, Click here to watch There was some confusion over Restaurant Week. Is it happening? Isn't it? It's still a go, July 28- Aug. 9, but some local restaurants have pulled out. The Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitor's Bureau did too. Seems they didn't have time to pull it off successfully. But we got a call from Frans, who runs Dayla’s in Bedford who is still committed to the prixe-fixed fete. Anyone dined at this Mediterranean bistro?
The guy's been in the rest. business for enough years to make him a gourmand guru. Im willing to make the trip. L’Andana in Burlington is on board too. This grande Tuscan steakhouse is a good place to try during discount week. I love the blue chip feel of this hulking restaurant. It's like a brand-new 747, powerful and ready to impress. Exec. Chef Robert Jean is from Lowell and we'd like to start a campaign to bring him here. Sure a lot is happening culinary in Millville, but we could always use one more great restaurant, right?
Have you been to Olives lately, seems like Todd has been back in the ktichen, and it really shows. The food was great.
