The peanut gallery

Nuts buttered, spread

Boston may be known for many things—baked beans, clam chowder, epidemic Dunkins—but the city also claims a sizeable legume legacy.

Egg on your face, in belly

Old-school diners get you back on track

If the words "morning after" bring to mind feelings of nausea, pounding headaches and sensitivity to light, read on.

Crème de la crème

Three pastry chefs hit the sweet spot

Pastry chefs are the unsung heroes of the kitchen. They come in early and stay late. They're rarely listed with top billing on the menu.

Chèvre, meet crust

When cheesecake cops a 'tude

Did you own a Cabbage Patch doll or a Tamagotchi as a kid? Or once stocked your closet with slap bracelets or Starter jackets?

Café Klatsch

Edition: Brighton Center

The near-universal complaint about franchise coffee shops is the uniformity. While their consistency might make pit stops comfortable and familiar from Fitchburg to Saugus, that sameness can be depressing. This week's Café Klatsch—an ongoing spotlight on quality independent caffeine outlets facing the corporate monolith competition—covers the hotbed of java activity in Brighton Center.

This little piggy ate roast beef

Shaved pink meat is how we roll

Yes, it's summer, and there are loads of fruits and vegetables available at the farmers market. But sometimes there's nothing like a little red meat, or even a lot.

Dinner and a movie

Film nights at the bar make for eat-in theater

While it's not the worst idea to pop in a DVD and inhale munchies at home, it's not the most creative or social, either.

Taste o' the Irish

The flavor of a new Eire

Jonesing for salad cream or some fresh scones? Or maybe it's wholemeal flour, pinhead oats or HobNobs and Barry's for teatime.

Shire raises the bar—incidentally, behind them

Health and Human Services Public Hearing

By Naoko Yoshida on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:53 am

“One of the most heart breaking things for me is the great number of homeless veterans,” said Ralph Cooper, executive director of Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse. “As you can tell, I’m getting older and my gray hair tells the truth. You can’t imagine how painful it is for me to talk with men and women who served in Vietnam, men and women who are young, coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq and they are homeless. How disgraceful is that?”
