In which the author claims new territory as if Jonathan Gold didn’t spent decades writing about this. As if Roy Choi’s Kogi truck didn’t roll in 2008.

Bad news: Acclaimed #Cambridge bar Brick & Mortar is closing soon.

Good news: Its replacement, from the same team (including @kitchensnacker.bsky.social), sounds great! Acqua & Bocca, an intimate Italian bar celebrating apericena culture, will open soon.

Favorite moment in the play Stereophonic was a throw away prop box of Winchell’s Donuts onstage. Was the go to donut shop in hippie late 70’s California. Nice touch.

Okay, I’ll try this for a minute. But let’s just talk about Dennis Hopper’s photography, how to cook an egg depending on your morning disposition, Louisiana Hot Sauce, why champagne isn’t normalized, al taglio pizza, bowline knots, wooden roux scrapers, a cold can of Bud in a hot shower
