I love great food. And as much as I love eating, I hate to cook with equal measure. Ok, maybe hate is too strong of a word. I just don’t enjoy cooking. It’s so much work and it never quite tastes as good as it does in a restaurant. Needless to say, I’d rather leave the job of feeding me to experts in the kitchen. I have been known to cheekily say that I make great reservations! Little do people know that I’m not joking. Making reservations is something I do exceptionally well…stellar, in fact. Luckily, Boston has some world-class restaurants for me to show-off my talent.
As I mentioned in a previous post, this year, instead of my two perennial resolutions, I decided to establish ten goals for myself. One goal that I will have no problem following through with is my campaign to eat at the top 50 restaurants in Boston as listed in the November issue of Boston Magazine (list below). I’ve been lucky to dine at the first 17 restaurants listed below which leaves 33 restaurants for me to visit within the next 360 days. I know it is quite an undertaking, but someone has to do it!
I’ll be sure to share my dining experiences will all of you in the upcoming months. And feel free to drop me a line if you would like break bread with me at one of these amazing restaurants!
Bon appétit!

I've eaten at Craigie on Main and their roast chicken is the most delicious thing I've ever put in my mouth. I wanted to gnaw on the bones and bathe in the chicken skin.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've significantly creeped you this morning, you really should go there...
I've also been to Lineage and it's fantastic as well.
I love this goal! Let me know if you want company. I'd be up for most of them.
ReplyDeleteI went to Rendezvous at Central Square a couple of weeks ago and it was fabulous. I'm always up for going out so you pick the restaurant and the night and I will be there! Best, Kim
