Cambridge, MA: Oleana's Incredible Baked Alaska
I really don't like conventional Baked Alaska. Meringue is far too sweet and too lean for me, and I've never been a huge fan of cake—especially sponge cake. But if there's one thing to know about Oleana, it's that nothing is conventional, particularly not the dessert menu. Pastry chef Maura Kilpatrick's reputation for dreaming up some of the most inventive sweets in town starts here.Video: Grits With Pork Belly At Bondir
We're big fans of Bondir, Jason Bond's intimate restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This video showcases Bondir's Heirloom Keener Grits with Roasted Pork Belly & Broccoli, Shaved Dahlia Bulb & Black Truffle Chili Vinaigrette, a dish resplendent with Jason's support for sustaining local communities—and with his love for grits.Cambridge, MA: Hell Night at East Coast Grill, a Dinner of Chile-induced Pain
One of the biggest Hell Night traditions at East Coast Grill: Russian Roulette Pork Meatballs. The deal is that each person at the table must order one meatball, and one of the meatballs is a fireball. You can see where it goes from here: Everyone takes a bite, then looks around to see who got hit.Cambridge, MA: Area Four Café for a Great Breakfast Sandwich and Baked Goods
Though it sounds more like a destination for flying saucers than one for earthlings in search of a good meal, Area Four is in fact a new restaurant in Kendall Square, just a stone's throw from the MIT campus. (The odd moniker refers to the city-designated zoning section in which it resides.) You can trust whatever comes out of pastry chef Katie Kimble's oven here, but there are two items you definitely don't want to miss: the breakfast sandwich and the craquelin.A Sandwich a Day: Dr. Larry's Cure at Hi-Rise Bread Company in Cambridge, MA
December 7 is one of the most sacred squares on our national calendar, because on this date in 1956, basketball legend Larry Bird was born. I tell people my childhood idol was Martin Luther King because it sounds good and it's almost true, but Larry was really the historical figure I most admired. The new Hi-Rise Bread Company location on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge serves a sandwich called Dr. Larry's Cure, which I called upon to break the real-life Larry tie.Market Scene: Central Square in Cambridge, MA
Central Square in Cambridge has grown into an important food destination and the Central Square Farmers' Market gives lovers of fresh, local food another reason to visit the area. At the Kimball Fruit Farm stand, chef Steve Johnson had packed boxes with as much produce as he could carry back to his restaurant Rendezvous in Central Square. We also spotted chef Tony Maws shopping for Craigie on Main, around the corner from the market. Check out photos of the pumpkin blossoms, peaches, early pears, shell beans, and more beautiful produce.Heading to the Cape? Stop For Big Gay Ice Cream!
All summer Will Gilson, chef at Cambridge's Garden at the Cellar (one of my favorites in the neighborhood) is cooking at a pop-up restaurant at Adrian's out in North Truro, Massachusetts. That's special enough on its own, but if you get there on August 19, you're in for an extra special treat as our buddies at the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck will be by, serving their signature creations from 1 p.m. until they run out out of a pop-up Ice Cream Shoppe.A Sandwich a Day: Oyster Po'boy at Tupelo in Cambridge, MA
When Tupelo opened in 2009 to serve "comfort food with a Southern drawl," I was torn. On the one hand, I like to be comforted and I'm OK with most drawls. On the other hand, I'm convinced Van Morrison recorded "Tupelo Honey" just to distract us from how annoying "Brown-Eyed Girl" is.I might have stood in the middle of Inman Square staring at my hands forever if a kindly stranger hadn't said something about Tupelo's excellent oyster po'boys. I've never been to New Orleans and am no po'boy aficionado, but I'm game to try any noun preceded by "excellent oyster."A Sandwich a Day: Georgia Reuben from Hi-Rise Bread Company in Cambridge, MA
Hi-Rise Bread Company is a Cambridge staple. Walk in and you'll see the open bakery with hands hard at work. Head over to the counter for a selection of beautiful breads and a big sandwich board (we've already told you about their Sin Sandwich). It's never been hard for me to decide what to order, though; I always get the Georgia Reuben ($10.75). This was the first sandwich I truly became obsessed with. It's stuffed with roasted turkey, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Thousand Island dressing on toasted rye.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
