Stuffed: the Fourth Annual Stuff@Night Dining Awards

by Stuff Boston | October 06, 2008

By MC Slim JB and Ruth Tobias

MC SLIM JB:
It’s our second tag-team on Stuff@night’s Dining Awards! How many steak frites did you eat this year? I musta had a dozen and only got excited about one.

RUTH TOBIAS:
Me, I managed to dodge the steak frites, only to find myself in a minefield of gelée and burrata. Granted, there are worse ways to go. What food trends have blown you to heaven recently?

MC SLIM JB:
Sensible portion sizes. i hate “tapas” the size of appetizers, but i’ve seen genuinely small plates at places like Persephone. Give me variety, two bites at a time, like rijsttafel.

RUTH TOBIAS:
A fine choice, sir. And what will you have to drink with your sensible portions?

MC SLIM JB:
Well-crafted cocktails: quality spirits, fresh juices, proper bitters and garnishes, chilled glasses — hold the candy-flavored vodka. Maybe a nice hoskins. luckily, those are getting easier to find; thanks, B-Side! [sniffle] What’s yours?

RUTH TOBIAS:
A shot of bison-grass vodka at the Good Life. Make it a double.

MC SLIM JB:
Hey, that’s where i got my one exciting steak frites: the late-night prime skirt, $18! The circle is complete. To the Awards!

Hit the road: more options for suburban dining

by Heather Bouzan | June 13, 2008
There’s plenty of good eating to be found in the ’burbs — even without the involvement of a Boston restaurateur. Pony up a few extra bucks at the pump and check out some of our favorites. Blue Ginger (583 Washington Street, Wellesley, 781.283.5790). Thanks...

Get out of town

by Ruth Tobias | June 13, 2008
Why are so many urban restaurateurs flocking to the ’burbs? We asked; they answered. I may be a legend in my own mind, but I didn’t really imagine, when I left Boston last fall after years of churning out, in my sleep, the kind of shockingly original...
