    We love great choices and right now, on Wednesdays from 11 am to 3 pm, you can line up for Bon Me, Boston's Baddest Burger & Sandwich Co., or Roxy's Gourmet Grilled Cheese on Belvidere Street near the intersection of Huntington Avenue. (map)

    Menus

    Here are a set of recent menus with Bon Me at the top, Roxy on the right, and Boston's Baddest Burger on the left. (Click on the collage for a larger view.)

    Belvidere Street has become one of our favorite food truck locations. First, there's a regular roster of great rolling kitchens moving in and out of the three parking spaces near the Christian Science fountain. With three trucks on hand, you have lots of choices and it's easy to gather a group of friends and make a lot of them happy.

    And, this setting also offers lots of seating for diners and is a prime spot for people watching. You can choose shade or sun and the wind may bring a cooling mist from the Christian Science fountain. The big bonus is that the entire area is signed as "No Smoking!"

  • Brasserie JO’s Salade Niçoise: A Best Bite

    Brasserie Jo at the Colonnade Hotel is a wonderful spot for a hearty lunch. Ed's favorite there is the Salade Niçoise with medium rare tuna.

    Each part of this dish gets the attention needed to make the whole an outstanding version of this classic French brasserie salad. The tuna is trimmed and tender, grilled with that balance of rare and sear that marks a good grill cook.

    The greens are crackling fresh, the kind Ed would eat without dressing, by the handful, if he were in his own kitchen. Green beans, potatoes, pickled onion, chopped eggs are all allowed to let their personalities shine. 

    The next time you're hungry for a big, big salad, think about giving this one a try. Or, at the bar, you can share it with a friend followed by their famous profiteroles with a giant pour of chocolate sauce for dessert.
