Mike & Patty's

I love a dish that sticks with you... in the figurative sense. After having this breakfast sandwich at Mike & Patty's in Boston, I woke up craving it days later.

It was the "North South Classic - fried egg, american cheese, peameal bacon, collards on an english muffin". This article from Boston Magazine shows it on a sub roll. Hmmmm.... maybe next visit.

I'm pretty sure there must have also been a secret (highly addictive) ingredient added, because it made me want to do backflips.

Vino Volo

At the end of a recent trip to Boston, my fellow travelers and I stopped at Vino Volo in Logan airport for a quick sip and bite.

Everything was delicious. I was envious of my coworkers' marcona almonds... perfectly sweet, salty, and seasoned with rosemary. But when my food arrived, the envy quickly dissolved into food bliss.

The chickpea & chorizo chili was mouthwatering, and the brie & prosciutto sandwich with fig jam made me feel like I had taken a quick jaunt to wine country. I think I could recreate the sandwich fairly easily, not so sure about the chili... but maybe with a little practice.
