pastry chefs are a different breed. one of my favorite exchanges at one of my favorite restaurants which i worked at was “you like butterfingers?” yes “ well, i made my own butterfingers” really? “yes but i smashed everything” (she was a semi-famous pastry chef with zero ego) “i made everything hard and smashed everything into powder” my jaw dropped as she kept eye-contact “then, i made my own ice cream and sprinkled the dust on top of it” then i remember she was married. i still fawn over that memory.

we have good mexican, run by mexicans and goods bbq run by geniuses. we just don’t post it or talk about it because we like to eat there unencumbered. source: former manager at a mexican restaurant where ex mexican presidents dine when they visit boston and former bartender at a bbq place where we don’t talk about it. bostonians rarely talk about things they truly love. we don’t ruin our places.
