Where I Go Out

L'Espalier
$$$$, French, Prudential / St. Botolph
"The chef truly knows how to work with foie gras. I love that he takes classic French techniques to new sensations and taste levels. The seared Hudson Valley foie gras with heirloom apples, hazelnut butter, salted caramel, and a warm ginger meringue is fantastic."

Craigie on Main
$$$$, Modern, American, French, New American, Central Square
"The chef is the master of offal, as well as anything having to do with pig for that matter. I love that he sources ingredients as local as possible so the menu changes daily, but when he has the sweetbreads, I always make sure to get those."
