A Non-Culinary Aside: Rooftop Farming, or Why I Need to Get Out More
by Eve on July 04, 2011 in Adventures, Featured, Photos, Special Projects
But first a preamble to this digression: People, I’ve been busy. And, sadly, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve cooked a real meal in my own kitchen. Sure, I’ve made meals for my client. I’ve taught groups of people how to make chicken cacciatore. I’ve even been sous chef for a wedding of 120+. But have I managed to get a single recipe up here since the 1st of June? Negative. (Oh, I’m also planning my own wedding. Just one month to go – jeepers!)

Happy Friday!
by Catie on June 10, 2011 in Adventures, Featured, Reviews
Happy Friday everyone! At Eat With Me, we love chefs of all kinds. One chef has caught our eye recently, not for her great skill or beautiful presentation, but for her hilarious, drunken webisodes of My Drunk Kitchen. Hannah Harto brings late night sobering snacks (and brunch standards) to a new level that could be classified as stunt cooking. In any case, she’s hilarious, charming and only a little dangerous.

The Great Boston Molasses Flood
by Ben on June 08, 2011 in Adventures, Boston, Featured, Photos
A 40-foot killer wave may be somewhat of a monster blessing for surfers on the west coast, but take that wave and move it 3,000 miles east to Boston’s North End and you’ve got a whole other monster. This year marks the 92nd anniversary of the Great Boston Molasses Flood, which resulted in 21 deaths and 150 injuries. Back in 1919, a fifty-foot steel storage tank kept watch over Boston’s North End waterfront at 529 Commercial Street. The tank held molasses that was to be distilled into industrial alcohol for World War I. Tragically, on January 15th, this massive storage tank burst at its seams, sending over 2.3 million gallons of rapidly moving molasses through the surrounding area. The 40-foot wave destroyed everything in its path: elevated railways, buildings, neighborhoods, and, inevitably, frantic Bostonians and tourists.

A couple of weeks ago a friend and I attended a demonstration and informal discussion on seasonal foods from the Puglia region of Italy, “Primavera in Puglia,” hosted by Rosella Rago of the web cooking show Cooking With Nonna, and her real-life Nonna Romano, a true kitchen warrior.

Awe Shucks!
by Keiko on May 20, 2011 in Adventures, Boston, Featured, Photos
Last Saturday I attended my second Second Glass event, Muscadet, Shuck Yeah! I had high hopes after my experience at the Boston Wine Riot in April, and I wasn’t disappointed. This event had a different vibe from the Wine Riot, partly because of the venue change from a hotel convention hall lined with booth after booth of vino variations, to a fairytale-esqe split-level castle, complete with a dance floor that was lit by floating lanterns and a flashy drunktopus ice sculpture.

We’ve been eating a lot of incredible food lately. By we, I mostly mean me, but most of the Eat With Me staff would agree that this spring has brought some great meals. Check out these photos for some dinner inspiration or just some drool time.

Second Glass Wine Riot Boston: Drink, Eat, Get Pumped About Wine!
by Catie on April 23, 2011 in Adventures, Boston, Featured, Reviews
When I heard about the Second Glass Wine Riot, I wasn’t totally sure what to expect. A convention-type room packed with vendors offering tastings of 250 wines from all over the world sounded intimidating, especially for someone like me who enjoys wine but also gives nicknames to favorites like Sauv Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc) and Cab Sauv (Cabernet Sauvignon). I managed to convince my friend and fellow Eat With Me contributor Keiko to join me in this wine-laden journey, and so we wine-novices purchased our $60 tickets, headed to downtown Boston and entered the Castle of Wine.

The Funny Little Fig Bars of NYC
by Eileen Glanton Loftus on April 20, 2011 in Adventures, Featured, Photos, Reviews
I moved out of New York City seven years ago, and I still can’t get it out of my system. I miss the constant thrum of energy, the fashion, the parks, the subway, and naturally, I miss the food. My time in New York introduced me to Thai and Afghan cuisine and made me a devotee of sushi and Cuban sandwiches. These I miss. But there’s a humble little treat that inspires my deepest reveries of New York food: the fig bar.

Burger Tours: Kingston Station
by Catie on April 13, 2011 in Adventures, Boston, Featured
A small party of burger-lovers, two meat eaters and two vegetarians, trekked from Cambridge to Downtown Crossing in search of Kingston Station, a French-inspired bistro. The Station burger came recommended to us by a friend, claiming it could be the burger we’ve been looking for.
