Cutty’s

Dining Out

In this solo dining adventure, Gary enjoys the sandwich stylings of Cutty’s in Brookline, MA.

The day after having lunch at Olecito, we had lunch at Cutty’s, a relatively new – at the time, anyway – sandwich shop, also in Brookline. Actually, we almost didn’t have lunch here because it was Saturday afternoon, we’d been watching the World Cup and just hanging out at casa de JP when we checked their website where it said that the place closed at 3 pm – we saw this at, oh, around 2:30 pm. With this knowledge in hand, we essentially raced out and walked as fast as our legs could get us there before the place closed which we did with just over five minutes to spare. [...]

Olecito

Dining Out

In this solo dining adventure, Gary has some tacos at Brookline’s Olecito.

While in Boston earlier this summer to volunteer at a beer festival, I went to Olecito, a Mexican place near JP’s home in Brookline. At this point of the season, it was warm, not quite to the unbearably hot weather we’d get the rest of the summer but it was starting to get there. So tacos, even with meats that have been braised or are boiling hot wasn’t such a terrible idea at the time. [...]

Ramen Setagaya

Dining Out

In this solo dining adventure, Gary checks in on an old ramen standby, Ramen Setagaya in the East Village.

Ramen is kinda a big deal here in New York City. From the East Village to Midtown, there’s no shortage of ramen to be found – some good, some great, some mediocre. For the most part, they’re all stand-alone locations, not chains. Yes, Ippudo is a part of a chain but for now, the ridiculously busy East Village location is their only one in New York City. Hide-Chan and Totto, while from the same owner, do things differently enough that they’re sibling restaurants in the truest sense. [...]

Myers + Chang

Dining Out

In this solo dining adventure, Gary has an excellent, if unconventional, dim sum experience at Boston’s Myers + Chang.

Fair warning before we start – this wasn’t your typical dim sum so this won’t be the typical Foodie Call dim sum post. In fact, this is gonna be somewhere between the usual photo gallery post and a regular review. It’s still tough for me to do a real full review because this is still dim sum after all but it’s different enough to merit more than just a short paragraph. Any, off we go!

Totto Ramen

Dining Out

In this solo dining adventure, Gary continues his assault on New York City’s ramen joints with a visit to Midtown’s Totto Ramen.

After my experience at Hide-Chan a month earlier, I think it’d be understandable that I would be a little gun shy about visiting another place that purportedly had some of the best ramen in the city. Considering that Hide-Chan was the number one spot on the Serious Eats roundup, I could only wonder how disappointing the rest of the list might be. But this was an anomaly since there was an actual change in the way they did business there and so long as my next target on the list, Totto Ramen, didn’t change things up, I would be golden. [...]
