Adventures in Raw Food – Boston’s Grezzo, part 2 of 2
If you didn't know any better, the pamphlet on the tables at Grezzo in the North End might scare you off. It lists 40 reasons to eat raw, ranging from something like "It makes your skin GLOW!" to somewhat dubious ones like, "Cooking kills off 50% of essential enzymes in food." Nothing is heated above 112 degrees, so if you order tea, the water is warmed, not boiled. Health claims aside, the [...]
Adventures in Raw Food: Part 1 out of 2
I like subversive shit. The creativity required to make pepperoni pizza without any bread, pepperoni, or cheese seems like nothing short of magic. I love mental gymnastics.

Delightful, delicious Veggie Planet Pizza
Veggie Planet has made me sing songs of joy ever since I first visited a few months into freshman year and tasted the sweet revelation that is Lunch for Henry. Whenever people ask me my favorite restaurant in Harvard Square, the answer is invariably Veggie Planet... I prefer the cramped climes and uneven, sometimes crappy service to slick bars and charming beverage directors. It is the most [...]
