  • The Seafood Grille at The Waterford Inn, Provincetown

    Sometimes, we don't feel like leaving the East End of Provincetown, where we usually stay– even for a meal. Then, we're happy to have a place like the Seafood Grille at the Waterford Inn open for lunch.

    We had the fish tacos and loved them.

    They have tables inside, in the courtyard, and on a small sidewalk patio out front. There is also a second floor, covered deck that will often have live music. This is also a quieter part of town if you want to take a break from the busy center of town.

    They do a good job with fried scallops too!

    These photos are from our spring vacation. By now, both the town and the restaurant will be bustling and the perfect spot for people watching as you dine. We couldn't find a website for the restaurant, so we linked to the reviews over on Trip Advisor. As you'll see, we are not the only ones who like the newest menu options in this spot.

  • Bon Chon Chicken: Add a Favorite to the List

    Our friend Mick was the first one to recommend Bon Chon chicken in Allston. With his descripiton, we added it to the "must try list." Then, praise for this spicy version of fried chicken began popping up over on Chowhound's Boston Board and Bon Chon moved to the top of our minds.

    Bon Chon spicy chicken! (There's a soy/garlic version too.)

    During a recent hot spell, we decided to try and make a Packard's Corner triple play. Lunch at Bon Chon, then a quick move to the Super 88 to resupply our Asian staples, and finally a slow stroll to Clear Flour to satisfy our bread lovers' souls. And, the Green Line home.

    We began with a basic order: a bit of each style of chicken with sides of pickled radish, fries, rice, and coleslaw. We have since refined our orders, especially for take-out or delivery, to the chicken and radishes. The fries are very good if you're eating in, but they distract from the chicken and are not great take out.

    Tiny bottles of a good cava were perfect with the chicken. Beer is highly recommended.

    We should warn you that Bon Chon Chicken is an addictive substance. Two days after a visit to Allston, you'll find yourself ordering a big box of spicy hot wings and drumsticks delivered to your hungry hands!

    It would also make perfect party food the next time you want to have friends over without the work. The folks at Bon Chon are ready for that with 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 piece selections of wings or drumsticks all prepriced on their site.

    A second franchise has opened in Harvard Square. We haven't tried this one yet, but we'll update when we do.
