Good Eats Boston: by Chloe

March 8, 2018

If you live in Boston you have probably heard the buzz about by Chloe, a vegan fast casual spot which serves delicious and wholesome plant based food. I recently visited the restaurant for the first time and I am hooked. I am by no means a vegan but I eat plenty of meatless meals so this place is up my alley. You know the place is on fire if a non-vegan like myself is into it. Even the Fiancé gave it a thumbs up.

When you hear vegan restaurant, you are probably thinking healthy and boring but by Chloe is far from that. Their menu includes bountiful salads, juicy burgers, breakfast and brunch foods like quinoa hash browns, smoothie bowls and pancakes. It’s a vegan menu that anyone will enjoy.

I am especially excited for their spring 2018 menu specials which includes the items below; available now through March 31st 2018 before new additions arrive.

Good Eats Boston: Grainmaker

January 8, 2018

With the fast casual restaurant scene booming in recent years its no surprise that my first good eats boston experience of 2018 is at Grainmaker, a fab fast casual dining spot in Boston. What drew me to the restaurant is their innovative menu with South East Asian influences, which I absolutely love.

The ordering process is like most fast casual spots where you build your bowl. The veggie selection is pretty awesome including delicious string beans, zucchini and my favorite wok fried seasonal greens. I thoroughly enjoyed selecting my garnishes from many choices including a cabbage slaw, fresh cilantro, scallions, pickled veggies and more. Grainmaker also offers some popular street fare like Banh mi sandwiches and street tacos. There is definitely something for everyone.

The restaurant is conveniently located in the Boston’s Downtown crossing area and is steps away from major subway stations. I highly recommend this place for your next lunch stop for excellent food flavors and healthy food choices.
