Another Amazing Beer

This is the new beer put out by Pretty Things, Babayaga. I have not been disappointed yet. It's a winter seasonal stout. Another very well balanced beer. I am looking forward what else Dann has up his sleeves.

2009 Boston Rising Star Chefs Awards

I just want to congratulate my executive chef, Rich, on the Star Chefs' Rising Star award for the most sustainable chef. The gala was a lot of fun. I got to work alongside and meet some of the best chefs in Boston. I was also able to taste some of the other chef's dishes. They were all really good.

Black Bird Farm

We had the pleasure of meeting our Black Bird Farm friends earlier this week. The tour of the farm was pretty rad! No feed lots here. We walked through the pasture, met the cows, and learned all about black angus. At the farm they really care and love their animals, and it comes through in the flavor of the beef. It is really high quality beef!
