When Erik Lorden, my buddy and the owner/chef at Passports stopped by to pick up lobsters yesterday he was wearing this Burger King Hat.
He vowed to wear it all day long much to the chagrin of his entire family.
I think he’s ought to check the ventilation in the kitchen, he must not be getting enough oxygen to his noggin.

This fish burrito at Lat 43 is my favorite dish in Gloucester currently. So damn good.

As Bobby Ryan said to me in our tour “We like to name our vessels after significant Gloucester vessels“. Here you see what Bobby was talking about with the two fermentation tanks named Adventure and Thomas E Lannon.
Look for part two of our video tour at 1PM

Yesterday I stopped up to see Bobby Ryan, half of the Ryan and Wood Team and a good friend of the family. The boys are doing something special up in Blackburn Park. Something our entire community can be proud of.
They are one of only three distillers in Massachusetts. Crafting spirits-vodka, gin and rum to exacting standards.
Here is a link to the R & W Distillery website
You can tour the facility, well worth a visit.
Look for the first of a four part video series this morning at 8AM

I’m gonna say it straight out- for the very best sub roll in the entire universe it’s Virgilio’s. I love my Sclafani’s sandwiches and bread and all but if you are just talking sub roll Virgilio’s sub rolls are just incredible. Every sub shop in America should be using them if they care about having the best. It’s not even open to debate. They are light and soft on the inside and just the right texture on the outside, complimenting whatever meat you throw in there.
Look for my interview at Virgilio’s at 8AM

It was a while since I’d been in Virgilio’s but they are doing great things down there. They took the store to a whole new level.
