Rating: 5 forks After attending the opening party a couple weeks ago, this past weekend Mike and I eagerly joined a couple friends at the new Ten Tables restaurant in Cambridge, MA. Although I love opening parties, they are typically all about mingling, sipping wine, and strategically positioning yo...

A friend and colleague of mine surprised me this morning by shooting me an email with a very detailed review of Mooo restaurant, a new modern and upscale steak house hot spot. The place has some pretty big shoes to fill, occupying the former location of The Federalist (which was spectacular, though ...

I don't have much of a sweet tooth - I sway more on the savory side - except for a small piece of rich chocolate from time to time. Well, I have found the remedy for those oh so sinful cravings as well as a new creative outlet: homemade truffles. I came across this recipe from the Feb/March issue of...
