I was so excited to attend a preview of Food & Folklore last week. The event was a kick-off to a series of pop-up dinners that are taking place over the next six-months in partnership with Toast, the fastest growing restaurant technology company in the US (and based right here in Boston!). The series highlights chefs of color throughout Greater Boston, and elevates cuisine from chefs that are underrepresented. The dates for the upcoming dinners are: November 18: Iraqi Heritage, Awafi Kitchen, Chef Annabel Rabiyah January 20: Islamic Diaspora Dinner, Chef Ismail Samad February 17: Peruvian ..read more

I had an awesome dinner last week at The Backroom at Moody’s in Waltham. True to its name, it’s located behind the deli counter at the flagship Moody’s Deli location on Moody street, and guests enter in through the deli. The Backroom is such a cozy yet elegant restaurant, and my friend and I had a great meal — there’s nothing like unwinding with some great charcuterie and wine on a Friday night. We started our dinner with some red wine and big plate of charcuterie and cheese and one of their flatbreads — the Broccoli & Burrata Flatbread made with tomato, Calabrese chili, and parsley. I di ..read more

I had an awesome time this weekend heading to Prouse Farm in Canton for Festival at the Farm presented by Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. It was a great day filled with wonderful music, laughs, games, and lots of great food and drink. When I visited with my friend, we started by relaxing and watching some of the performances when we first arrived. One of my favorites of the day was The Wild Reeds. I’ve been a fan of theirs since I first heard them on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert a few years ago. It was so great to see them perform live. After that, we hit some of the food trucks and tables. There ..read more

Looking for something fun and different to do this weekend? Check out the Festival at the Farm presented by Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. It’s a two day festival at Prouse Farm in Canton, and the weekend features food, drink, music, activities, games, and more! I had an awesome time last week getting excited for the festival attending their Pre-Party at City Winery in Boston complete with some delicious food, drink, and live music! When I was at the pre-festival event last week, I got a little taste of what’s to come at the Festival food-wise. I had the most delicious Garlic & Herb Chedd ..read more

This post is sponsored by Applebee’s. All of the opinions shared are mine. Nachos, buffalo wings, warm pretzels, and mozzarella sticks — sometimes that’s just what a Friday night calls for right? Well you can get all of that for just $25 at your local Applebee’s, and that’s exactly what I did with my friend last week! Going to Applebee’s always reminds me of all the good times I had there when I was a kid. It was a tradition for my aunt to take me, my brother, and our friends bowling whenever we had a day off from school, and then we would head across the street to Applebee’s after. So visiti ..read more

I had an awesome time hosting another dineoutwith.us dinner a few weeks ago at Les Zygomates, an awesome French bistro in Downtown Crossing with live Jazz. My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful five-course dinner curated by Chef Guara Pimenta, paired with wonderful wines selected by their Sommelier, Ashley Compass. For those who haven’t heard of dineoutwith.us yet or read about my previous dinners that I’ve arranged through their platform, it’s a recently launched service that works with restaurants to arrange dinner party experiences for small groups. Founder Adam Caper and his team do way mor ..read more
