Overheard on the Boston Board

"I lean toward the Hungarian fare, which isn't perfectly traditional but still very good: tasty gulyás and paprikash with handmade spaetzle." – MC Slim JB on what to order at Jasmine Bistro in Brighton

"I went in, browsed their menu board and ordered a Poor Boy: generous portion of just-right roast beef with bacon, topped by finely shredded lettuce and tomato, with sprinkles of sesame seeds to add interest. I also ordered a Mario: capicola with generous chunks of tomato and mozzarella, with a hint of basil. Both were topped with a light vinegar that made the tastes pop!" – IronStomach reporting on a good lunch at A Touch of Italy in Randolph

"Fried dough with parmesan, prosciutto and anchovies: This was a standout. We weren't sure what to expect. What came was a light, fluffy puffy unctuous disc dusted with parmesan, flavored faintly of anchovy (no discernible anchovies—I was glad for that). Very delicate and subtle umami flavor, with a few tears of prosciutto atop. It was lovely and intriguing." – an excerpt from Prav's recent review of Trade
