A Damn Good Restaurant
Julia Clancy reviews Fox & the Knife for Boston Magazine. Chef Karen Akunowicz starts of strong but simple with an insalate verde of gem lettuces, citrus, and parmesan cheese. Clancy calls it “a no-holds-barred exaltation of taste and texture while simultaneously leveraging restraint.” The spaghetti con vognole is “one of the best dishes in the city,” according to Clancy, who also recommends the burrata with shredded chard, warm walnut vinaigrette, and fried and pickled shallots. Overall, Clancy awards Fox & the Knife three and a half stars out of four — between “generally excellent” and “extraordinary” — calling it a “damn good restaurant.”
Among the Best in Burgers
Marc Hurwitz visits A&B Burgers in Boston, sharing his thoughts in the Dig. A&B’s burgers are “among the best tried anywhere in the Boston area over the past couple of years,” Hurwitz writes, and the restaurant has a selection of small plates and entrees, including scotch eggs, baked brie, fried Brussels sprouts, and pork chops. There’s an “impressive” list of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails. There are also a few adult milkshake options. Overall, Hurwitz calls the burgers “exquisite.”
Restaurant Nostalgia
Devra First pays a visit to Baraka in Cambridge for a bit of nostalgia in the Globe. The restaurant relocated to its current home in 2016, and while First doesn’t find the same old feel she loved from before, the things that made Baraka great do live on, she writes. She has her traditional choice of cherbet, a “fresh-squeezed lemonade fragranced with rose petals and mint,” and has a leisurely feast of smoked eggplant and labneh, sea bass, lamb tagine, and more.
