Forced to go to Chic Fil A… anything for the kids though right? I pick all the time, I told her she can start picking the restaurant once in a while. And when she does, she’s in charge of doing the voiceover. I don’t let her pick often because 9 times out of 10 she’ll choose McDonald’s. Chic Fil A is fine with me though, been a while since I’ve had them. • • #fyp #foryou #wdyets #foodiesofboston #azalea #chicfila #chickensandwich #fastfood #daughter #comedy #bostonfood #woburn #bostonfoodies #fatherdaughter

The newest addition to the Nonantum neighborhood is a sandwich shop called “The Press Room”. Opened by Nonantum native, Jim Donovan. A local legend in the restaurant scene. Jim has been in the business for many, many years. He’s owned quite a few places & has helped a few other places get their start. Such as, starting the chicken wings at Buff’s Pub, which is now considered one of the best chicken wings around Boston. Jim started this place in October 2024. The doors didn’t open for business until March 2025. Only a month in business and he’s been making some noise. I heard about them and knew I had to come try it for myself. I knew right away I wanted that Don Sirlione sandwich. It sounded like the best sandwich on the menu. They all sounded great though. Jim put a lot of time into making this menu. The sandwiches were excellent. Incredible flavor profile. The porcini mushroom cream cheese is a standout condiment that Jim created. It went hand & hand with the rare sirloin which he sous vide for 6 hours. The Fat Tony was also a smash. I can see great things coming for this place in the future. Come give them a try for yourself. Let them know who sent you. • • #fyp #foryou #nonantum #newton #wdyets #sandwhich #ricknash #mitchellandness #comedy #foodies #boston #bostonfood #italian #jimdonovan #newtonfood #thelake

When Big Frank said he knew Gordon Ramsay last month while we were at C&S, I figured he was just saying stupid stuff like always. Then we get an invite to Gordon Ramsay Burger, then when we’re eating Gordon himself shows up & sits down with Frank to ask him how the family was doing. I guess Big Frank was right 😂😂 The Hell’s Kitchen Burger to me was a perfect burger. Cooked to perfection. Pink center and juices oozing all out of it. Incredible flavor & a beautifully griddled bun. I’m not sure if you could make a better burger than that. With Gordon’s name attached to it, I assumed it was going to be great. It exceeded its expectations. Great Burger. I’d love to eat another one in the near future. Come by, let them know who sent you! • • #foodies #foodiesofboston #gordonramsay #ramsayburger #bostonburger #mountaindew #bigfrank #wdyets #foodporn #burger #hellskitchen #comedy #skit #hilarious #ilovefood #lmao

Billy’s in Wakefield. An OG beef joint. I post a lot of beefs on my page. A lot of them are new era beefs. The places like Bella’s or Londi’s or the Butcher. Those big, beautiful stacks of beef. Their juniors are bigger than an OG beef joints supers. I love those kind of beefs but I’ll also always love the OG spots. Billy’s been doing their thing since 89’. You gotta give credit where it’s due. Solid beef but far from my favorite. Overall score.. 6.8 #foodies #food #foodporn #roastbeef #nsb #eatgood #ilovefood #wdyets #beef #threeway #billys #wakefield #boston #northshorebeefs

Peka in Brighton is more than just a Latin American restaurant specializing in Venezuelan cuisine. It’s a whole experience. Every Friday & Saturday nights they offer live music & a dance floor to get your groove on. They have a very vibrant menu with a great cocktail list to go along with every dish. They also offer lunch. They’re open 11:30-10 everyday & til 2am on the weekends. The patio will be opening soon so you can enjoy your meal outside. And the Peka Bar right next door is all theirs too. Open on Saturday nights but available to rent out for parties & private events like birthdays or showers. At Peka, you’re guaranteed a fun night. I’m not a dancer, maybe you can’t tell from my white boy dance moves but the whole vibe of this place made me want to jump on that dance floor and be apart of the crowd. Ok, maybe the liquor had a little bit to do with it but I’m telling you, you’ll love the atmosphere in here. The food was good too. The paella was great. The red snapper was also excellent. I found out that Peka also does brunch… maybe I’ll be stopping in to see what that experience is like. Stay tuned. In the meantime, come by @pekarestaurant & let them know who sent you! • • #peka #pekarestaurant #brighton #boston #spanish #dance #livemusic #supportlocalbusinesses #supportsmallbusiness #eatgood #dinner #vibe #dancing #wdyets #foryou #fyp #bostonfood #foodiesofboston #foodporn #comedy #instagram
