Overheard on the Boston Board

"Spicy (dry fried) chicken wings at Golden Garden are amazing, and now amongst my complete fav anywhere in Boston. Blazingly hot with the numb of Szechuan peppercorns then covered with a healthy dose of fresh poblanos. They stand toe to toe with any wing I've ever had, period." – StriperGuy on the chicken wings at Golden Garden in Belmont

"I would go to Toraya just for the tongue. It is delicious and many times I order two orders of it. The chicken hearts are also good, as is their version of agedashi tofu." – RoyRon on his favorite nonsushi items at Toraya in Arlington

"Troquet has bottles to satisfy just about any budget, but as a customer (in fact, I'll be there tonight) it seems like the more you spend, the more you save." – dalecruse weighing in on a discussion about the wine lists at Troquet and Craigie on Main
