Overheard on the Boston Board

"Because this was a special occasion and hunger and passion were in the air, caution was thrown to the wind and in addition to the dishes of the day, we had to have the marrow bones and toast. I do not feel one shred of guilt for this pleasure. Large split bones with luscious rich marrow and very toasted bread were just so good and bad...perfect." – EATTV on splurging at Craigie on Main

"The amount of filling was spot-on for my taste—just enough to be oozing out of the edges, not so much that you couldn't pick it up & eat it with your hands. The filling was thin slices of good-quality deli turkey (that I *think* were put on the grill for a moment) and a sweet fig spread; I could have wished for more brie, but it may have melted and therefore been less obvious." – gimlis1mum on the crêpes at Coffee Tea and Me in Melrose

"Our DC was gung-ho to get the pasta and downed the entire plate. He was sweating after a minute and gagging by the halfway point. He got it down though, and was rewarded with a signed book from [Chef] Chris [Schlesinger] for his efforts. By all reports, his hangover lasted several days." – Gabatta on the spicy pasta served on Hell Night at East Coast Grill
