Delicious pork pies with a flaky crust scrumptious Center and Rich gravy these handheld pies are a must try because they’re handmade every day from scratch when you bite into our Harley’s pork pie there is a delectable crust juice from the gravy little bit of salt and pepper

And it’s just biting into a little bit of Heaven from years ago located inside this unassuming strip mall in Lawrence Mass Coco Rays is anything but your typical Mexican takaria this family Run Spot has everything from tongue tantalizing tacos to over stuffed empanadas loaded nachos and a crisp tostada Alpa store but it’s

The steak and cheese torta served on fresh bread from a local Caribbean Bakery that should be on everyone’s culinary bucket list first we throw it on the grill Mount the cheese on it take it off top it off with steak and onions whatever toppings you like lettuce tomatoes onions avocado guacamole and it

Needs to get topped off with a Mayu ketchup then we put it back on the grill cuz it’s not a TAA unless you give it that flattening and crunch off the grill you you need to grow those bad boys the right way and when you bite into that

Once you hear that crunch you know you got yourself a good thought Located in a residential neighborhood in Manchester New Hampshire shaan is known for serving oversized portions of French Canadian comfort food and if you’re looking for a challenge you must try their enormous 5B Grand puton Challenge a feast only for the Bold of heart and strong of stomach it’s 2 and 1/2 lb of

Fried french fries a pound of cheese curds and six ladles of gravan and I tell you you have 1 hour to eat it we’ve had probably 50 people try we have had five people that have accomplished it the Mediterranean Grill and taunted Mass serve some of the most delicious

With meat sauce lemony aval Mano soup and sweet Bak laava with layers upon layers of felo honey and nuts with brick and mortar locations and food trucks throughout Boston and Cambridge Bon Me is a fast casual restaurant specializing in that Quint essential Vietnamese handheld the bond me a flavor packed sandwich you’ve got

To try since our restaurant is named after sandwich we always encouraged people to try the sandwich first bunme sandwiches are actually a fusion food between Vietnamese and French cuis so we’ve got French baguette the Pate the Mayo stuffed with a lot of things that were Vietnamese it’s sort of like like

The best of two cultures put into a Sandwich another great a winner is sauce with locations at B market and Somerville and this one in Boston steps from fuel hall sauce makes some of the best fries Phantom has ever found all hand cut and fried up perfectly Crisp And while these fries are fantastic on their own they’re even better dipped

Into some signature sauces like truffle ketchup roasted garlic Mayo spicy Sall cheddar beer sauce and many more and just how much sauce you’ll need depends upon your personal preference my fry to Sauce ratio is heavy-handed on the sauce but you know if people want to go ahead

And throw their ketchup right on top no judgment here with spots in Shrewsbury and Malboro Atlantic Pokey is an eery that focuses on that Hawaiian classic poke here the fish is always fresh and the bowls are customizable so you can load them up with anything traditionalists

Will go with the tuna or salmon and garnish it with everything from edamame carrots green onion avocado and cucumber and if raw isn’t your thing they have you covered with proteins like chicken and cooked shrimp rounding out the grade eight is esteril this family run Fall River favorite brings the flavor of Portugal

To Massachusetts and to get that quintessential experience a few dishes are in order like creamy Calo Verde soup serves steaming hot steak served traditionally with a fried egg and topped with an ultra popular top secret gravy and flavor packed chicken mosm Beque but it’s the Flaming Sharice that

You’ve got to try at least once because it’s an interactive dish that feeds all of the senses it literally is Flaming so I think the presentation is there it impresses people people are kind of amazed it’s fun cuz the customer sort of participate and feel like they’re cooking
