Where I Go Out
Spicy coconut curried goat stew
$$, Full Bar, Modern, New American, Spring Hill
"These are sandwiches created by the city’s best chefs. This one, made with paper-thin prosciutto and mozzarella, is by one of my all-time favorite chefs."
Lamb shawarma roll-up
$, Falafel, Riverside
"They carve the lamb right there. The meat is delicious and they serve it with creamy yogurt sauce and some tomatoes. They get it right."
Jericho Bay Maine diver scallops
$$$$, French, West Newton
"The chef gets the best scallops in North America. They are hand-harvested, sweet, and amazing, and taste nothing like other scallops. The chef changes up the preparations, but these are always perfect."
Grilled octopus
$$, Full Bar, Modern, American, Bar, The Port
"This octopus is braised in red wine for six to eight hours and served with lots of veggies. If they ever tried to take this off the menu, people would freak out."
Roast beef sandwich
$$, Sandwiches,
"They just kill it here; the food is always consistent. I get the large sandwich with extra cheese, extra sauce, grilled onions, onion rings, and a frappe. I don't fool around."
