A Sandwich a Day: Hot Lobster Roll at Neptune Oyster, Boston

Hot and buttered is how I've always eaten lobster rolls while growing up, so I was very excited when I first heard about Neptune serving them the right way. Expensive, yes, but worth it! Plus a trip to the North End is always fun - plenty of dessert options!

Boston: For the Ultimate Sticky Bun, Head to Flour Bakery and Cafe

One of my favorite parts about a trip to The Children's Museum with my son is the lunch at Flour after! He gets the (amazing) PB&J, my wife gets the basil/tomato/moz, and I usually get the roast beef..and if there are any left for sale we always get sticky buns to take home!

Fast Food Cheesesteak Challenge

I'm glad the post got the spelling of D'Angelo correct, but think it's funny how everyone in the comments calls it D'Angelo's because it's something I notice people doing all the time. I don't know where the phantom "'s" comes from!

It's even more confusing since their website is dangelos.com. A few years back I even wrote to them to ask about why people call it D'Angelo's when there's no "s", and they said it's an issue near and dear to their heart but they don't know either.

Sometimes it makes sense, like when it's possessive "D'Angelo's menu has a lot of good items". But - "The D'Angelo's sandwich looks good". You wouldn't say "The Subway's sandwich"..I don't think.

Sorry for the rant! Just a silly tick I have...about a sandwich chain of all places. Yikes.

Iced Coffee Roundup: McDonald's, Starbucks, and Dunkin' Donuts

Nice round up - though it does sound like you got the Vanilla Bean Coolatta, which doesn't have coffee in it at all. https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/nutrition/Product.aspx?Category=beverages&id=DD-1250

There's a French Vanilla Coffee Coolatta which does though. But I do agree - DD Medium Iced Regular in the morning for sure, and a Starbucks in the afternoon.

The Secret Ingredient (Sesame): Super Sesame Hummus

They could take sesame seeds off the market and I wouldn't even care. I can't imagine 5 years from now saying, "Remember sesame seeds? What happened? All the buns are blank!" “What’s a sesame seed grow into?” I don’t know, we never give them a chance. What the heck is a sesame?!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham

My favorite ham sandwich is ham from a left over spiral ham (not deli ham!), spicy mustard or horseradish, and tomato - on a big bulky roll! YUM!

Burger King Releases the Angry Whopper

It was alright. Nothing crispy about the onions, and not very spicy - oh except for the somewhat spicy bit I got from the TWO jalapeno pieces I had on mine.

A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread

I was walking back to my car with my son after leaving the Children's museum and saw a sign for Flour out of the corner of my eye. "Hrm, sounds familiar, I remember seeing that on SeriousEats!". So glad we decided to stop in for lunch. The sticky^2 buns were awesome and my son was nice enough to share a bite (or two...) of probably the best PB&J either of us have ever had. I had the roast beef and horseradish - awesome. I'd definitely go there again!

Budweiser's New American Ale

Bud's been trying to penetrate the craft beer market for year's with their Michelob line - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelob Interesting that they're doing it with the Bud brand now too. Anyone interested in some history of craft brewing and the passion first/business second aspect Bunnyman mentioned should check out the "bockumentary" American Beer.

Mott's Selling 50% Juice For the Same Price as 100% Juice

They also sell the same thing (I think) branded as "motts for tots". Their marketing says that watered down juice also waters down the amount of vitamins the kids get, so the watered down "motts for tots" adds additional vitamins in (making the juice taste kinda weird to me...).

I'll stick with watering it down myself thanks. I'm lazy, but not THAT lazy.

12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender

Great write up! But, as a fellow Bostonite, I wonder if you have tried The Upper Crust for pizza? Or what about B.Good for burgers/fries? And there are Five Guys in MA too, closer than having to travel to NYC =)

Glad to hear Shake Shack is worth it though...I have a NYC trip planned soon and have been debating standing in the line!
