I've been a huge fan of @jamiebiss since he was the chef at Eastern Standard, back in the early 2000s. I'd obsess nonstop over the rotating offal offerings (along with everything else on the menu). It's been so amazing to see all the incredible restaurants he's brought to the Boston area, and Somaek is no exception. Together with his mother in law Soon Han, Jamie has created a fun, laid back, exceptionally delicious and traditional Korean dining experience. Our favorite dishes of the night were the beef dumplings, the japchae, and the pork bulgogi. Can't wait to try Sushi @ Temple Records or even just grab a drink and a snack while listening to some tunes at Temple Records itself, both right next door to Somaek. Was there something I missed at Somaek that I've gotta get next time? Let me know.

We love Casa Corona in Marblehead, MA. It's a laid back, delicious, affordable treat. We stopped in today after a rainy beach trip but you'll also find us there sometimes on a school night when we just don't have the energy to put a meal together. Everything we've tried there has been great, and there's a huge menu still to explore. Do you have a favorite dish there that I haven't tried yet? Let me know. #mexicanfood #marblehead #familyfood #casual

Chef Jerry Lin opened Takumi Ramen in the original Taku Sushi space. It's a great option for inexpensive, delicious ramen on the North Shore of Massachusetts. As a bonus, you can always watch Bob Ross showing off all his tricks on the TV at both Taku and Takumi while you wait for your food to arrive. @takumiramenbar
