Eaten This Week: Almost Thanksgiving and Already Full
by Matt on November 25, 2009 in Adventures, Photos
The past few days have been packed with great food. So much so, that I’m doing my weekly Eaten This Week a few days early. In case you missed last week’s entry, every Friday, I’m going to post a digest of the things that I’ve digested– the post will be mostly visual. Lots of food photography.

Dogfish Head Ancient Ales at Le Cordon Bleu, Boston
by Matt on November 24, 2009 in Adventures, Photos, Restaurants
Last Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of joining a co-worker, his wife, who is now a student at Le Cordon Bleu “in Boston” (well, actually, it’s located in Kendall Square, Cambridge), and their friend for a Dogfish Head Ancient Ales tasting night. The deal was unbeatable: six courses, seven beers, $60.

Eaten This Week: South End Edition
by Matt on November 20, 2009 in Adventures, Photos, Restaurants
The South End lies between Back Bay, Downtown, Dorchester, and Roxbury and is one area that attracts a wider range of people. The more diversity an area has to offer, usually the better its food, and today’s post is a celebration of two of the South End’s best bakeries.

Hairy Crab
by Matt on November 18, 2009 in Adventures, Photos
No, you didn’t misread the subject of this post. I’m sorry to say that there’s not going to be a moment when you go, “oh, thank goodness, these crabs aren’t really hairy”– because, these crabs are hairy AND they are a delicacy in Hong Kong. Today, in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, I’m bringing you something which, although apparently delicious, might gross you out.

(Sessionable) BEER! and our first video.
by Matt on November 08, 2009 in Adventures, Beverages, Recipes
My brother Ben, Eat With Me’s Consulting Master Brewer, describes his latest brewing project– a sessionable beer. You may remember his earlier post about how to make the most of what’s left in the kitchen after a summer sublet. This is part 1 of 3 (?) focused on the process of sanitation and bottling. When Ben makes his next brew, we hope to also include video of the earlier stages of brewing. Enjoy!

The Last Photo
by Matt on November 07, 2009 in Adventures, Photos
Happy Saturday! My prized camera just took a major tumble and it may never take another photo. It’s been with me around the world– to Vietnam, Hong Kong, Scotland, England, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Montana, California… you get the idea. But, it decided to crash to the ground right here in my bedroom as I was taking a photo for this blog.

Kitty and Julia
by Matt on November 01, 2009 in Adventures, Photos
For those of you who enjoyed this year’s foodie-friendly motion picture Julie and Julia, which chronicles the blogging-debut of Julie Powell as she endeavored to cook every recipe in Julia Child’s Mastering The Art of French Cooking, you may have found yourselves wondering who, in an increasingly saturated field of television chefs, restaurateurs, and omnipresent bloggers, will achieve similarly lasting food-fame. Julia Child was a pioneer, but surely there will be others from our generation that will continue to innovate. Maybe it’ll be someone that one of us knows personally?
