Redbones Food Truck

I had one on Wednesday and decided next time to try rotating the container 180 degrees every so often to see if the sogginess is distributed the bottom wouldn't fall apart. Although, maybe that would make both sides of the bun disintegrate.

Where can I buy fresh burrata cheese

FWIW Si still lists burrata in their web site... http://salumeriaitaliana.com/catalog/cheese/fresh/burrata

What is the superlative taco and where to find it in the Boston area?

I would nominate Dorado Tacos. I think the Ensenada & Dorito tacos are addicting.

Looking for excellent romantic dinner in Cancun hotel zone, please help.

I think that both of the high-end restaurants at the Fiesta Americana Grend Coral Beach (La Joya - Mexican with a show or La Basilic - French) would fit your wishes.

Samichlaus Bier

Demon, there is this from Marty's in Newton's web site. I don't think that I will be paying $140.00 for 3L of beer though.

Candy in the North End

Now that Dairy Fresh has closed :( does anyone know a good source for Italian candies in the North End. Specifically, I am looking for Baci. Thanks.

Return of "Happy Hour"?

While I personally would welcome Happy Hour, one must admit that, from a public policy point of view, inviting people to consume double the alcohol between 4-7 pm and then driving home doesn't make much sense.

Zafferano's, East Boston

A very inciteful post StevieC.

I'm trying to make an authentic Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/palma/2009/09/spaghetti_cacio_e_pepe.html. Does anyone know where to buy Cacio e Pepe rather than using Romano?

Thanks

Torreón de Paredes wine

I was recently looking for a wine produced by Joe Bastianich tha I had at Babbo. I searched online until I found the importer, called them and got the name of the Mass. distributor, and called them to ask who carried the wine. They couldn't find anyone in the area but told me that any store that carries any of their wine could special order it. I talked to the wine guys at Marty's, theyordered me three bottles for about the same price that I picked it up for in Manhattan. Good luck.

Interesting Takeout near South Yarmouth

We'll be staying three nights on South Shore Drive in South Yarmouth. We've got dinner plans for Thursday (PB Boulangerie) and Saturday (Inaho) but are looking to get interesting takeout on Friday night. Most visits we hit Thuan Loi but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for different, intersting takeout in the area. Thanks.

Al Wadi, Lebanese restaurant in West Roxbury

I got a take out menu when they first opened but hadn't had a chance to order until last week. My wife and I each ordered a kabob plate and I ordered a serving of soup. On my menu the kebab plates were in the $10.00 range. When I picked up the order the bill was $47.00! The kebab plates were, on the current menu over $17.00 apiece. Whilethe food was flavorful I felt it was wildly overpriced and will not return.

Need to find fresh locally made corn tortillas

Have I got a find for you! Sol of Mexico (538 Pleasant St., Worcester 508-756-2660). I saw this on CH a few years ago and tried them. The freshest, best tasting tortillas I've ever had. Good luck with your event.

Anthony Bourdain No Reservations Season 7 in Boston, Part Two

My wife just saw on one of her friend's facebook pages that Bourdain had lunch at Michael's Deli in Coolidge Corner.

Jalapeno Ice Cream @ Christina's

My son just brought me a serving of Jalapeno Ice Cream from Christina's. It is delicious and revelatory. Somehow thay have captured the bright fresh flavor of a fresh jalapeno in a terrific ice cream. If it sounds appealing I would recommend it.

Cat Hai Fish Sauce

Has anyone seen Cat Hai fish sauce in the Boston area? I saw it on one of Andrew Zimmern's shows and he described it as one of the best Vietnamese fish sauces.

No. 1 Noodle House Newton

I got a menu for this place in Newton Centre in the mail. Does anyone know if it's worth trying?

I seek authentic corn tortillas! I will not rest until I find them.

I don't know if it's still there but a couple of years ago I got tortillas from Sol of Mexico, 538 Pleasant St., Worcester. They were great, fresh and warm.
