From the days of Anthony Martignetti and for generations before, Boston’s North End has been known for amazing handmade Italian food that is at least as good as your parents made it. That is why I was so surprised (and pleasantly so!) to find a new eatery in the historic area called… Read more

It’s Chanukah again and that can mean only one thing on Matt’s Meals- a mention of our favorite shmearing shamash- Steve Peljovich! I know that we talk about Steve a ton, but when your food is so good and you do so much good for the community, you deserve all… Read more

Though many of us may not be cooking at home as much as we had before the masks (thankfully!) started to come off, when we do have the urge, it can be frustrating to be foiled by a lack of foil (or other pantry staples). Fortunately, our friends at America’s… Read more

As a food fan, I am constantly offered foods that are supposedly healthy or that have so-called “superfoods” that will take care of my every ailment- either actual. potential, or hypochondriacal. And while some seem legit, the fact that there is not much of a supervisory system makes me wary.… Read more

I know that I talk a lot about Spicy Shark, but when their sauces are so good and they do so much good for the environment, they deserve all the lauding I can load on them! We recently talked about their first annual New England Hot Sauce Festival, which took… Read more
