Word on the Internet is that Harvard Square will soon have another restaurant to add to its roster - Russell House Tavern, headed by Chef Michael Scelfo from Temple Bar. Its opening is set for late March or early April. Their Twitter account is currently silent, although following and being followed by well over a 1,000 tweeps. What kind of food will it serve?

A Blowout Boston Burger Bash, hosted by Ken Oringer at KO Prime
Check out my slideshow for Boston Grubstreet on last night's Burger Bash! I'm not sure if I'm able to offer any actual input on how the burgers tasted. This was really a work night - I spent two hours scrambling to get decent photos, then realized I should go take notes on ingredients, so I looped back around through the masses of people. By the time I got around to eating the burgers, I would [...]
Food porn of the day: Ten Tables Cambridge
I had some photos knocking around on my ever-trendy (and broken) Macbook, unshared, so here they are - the remnants of a meal from several months ago at Ten Tables, on the fringes of Harvard Square. I already posted the dessert portion - chocolate terrine with thai basil ice cream - which was my favorite course of the night.

There was a certain American-ness still foreign to my childhood that placed fast food in a special nook of my [...]
Charlie’s Kitchen, Quincy DHall, Cambridge Snow
Listen up, young Padawans: if you want free food, you gotta have game. And by game, I mean some really clever A-game up your Juicy Couture sleeve. There are a couple of ways, but I'll reveal one way to get meals for next to nothing (and it doesn't even involve standing on a street corner). Check out Restaurant.com, where you can buy gift certificates to places for less than face value, plus [...]
Excess, Delicious Excess: 5 Course Meal at Crabtree’s Kittle House Inn, Chappaqua, NY
I arrive a half-hour early for my interview with Glenn Vogt, who manages Crabtree's Kittle House Inn, a high end restaurant in Chappaqua. (Bill Clinton and his family dine here on a regular basis, including this past Christmas. His secret service team usually stands in the lobby, but this Christmas, they dined along the Clintons.) Glenn arrives at the bar as I was taking some notes in my [...]
