BBQ craving

To satisfy my current BBQ craving, I decided to write up a recent experience into the delicious, messy world of Blue Ribbon BBQ.

Blue Ribbon BBQ

5 stars

This will be a short review in hopes that there will be pictures soon from a much needed return trip.

This place has been described by a native from Louisiana (my co-worker) as "true southern BBQ." From its flavorful and complex homemade BBQ sauces to the huge chunks of fat still left on the ribs, the flavor of the meat definitely holds the spotlight at this place. The waves of panic over obesity has not shaken this place into giving up butter and fat in its food. And for good reason. This is what real southern comfort food tastes like. And it's delicious. Recommended dosage not to exceed once a month.

Homey Greek Food

My absolute favorite Greek place in Boston everrrrrrr. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures except for one because we always end up digging right into the food!!

The Greek Corner

Five stars

Nestled far away from Boston proper in North Cambridge is a most surprising, taste-like-home, Greek place. I have been here at least 5 times and each time is absolutely delicious. A quick run down of everything I've tried (I'll try to keep it short..)

If it's your first time at this place you HAVE to start with their appetizer sampler. There's just enough of each dish to get a true taste and, paired with their warm pita, it doesn't last very long either. You get a taste of their stuffed grape leaves, humus, another version of humus with caviar, tabouleh, cucumber yogurt dip, spinach pie, eggplant salad, and chunks of feta cheese.

My absolute favorite dish to get here is their Swordfish kebob. To be honest, it can be hit or miss but when it's good it's AMAZING. Think fish that melts like butter the minute it hits your tongue, combined with a delicious creamy sauce to bring out its buttery goodness even more.

I've also tried their Baked Lamb leg and it tastes fantastic. Perfectly cooked, falling off the bone, and paired with a delicious tomato based sauce, it is the epitome of Greek comfort food.

One of the first times I came here I tried their Musaka while my friend had their Gyro. Both were mouth wateringly delicious although the Musaka had potatoes (dislike). The Gyro was absolutely out of this world due mainly to its homemade, slightly buttered, toasted pita wrap.

There hasn't been a single thing here I've tried that wasn't delicious!
