OK< wife is in Boston for work this week, til Sunday. She said every place she's eaten has been underwhelming, but will to chalk that up to bad luck and not knowing where to go. She said she had bad Thai, bad Italian, and a mediocre catered event. I asked if she had Chow-da, she said not yet. She said Roxbury/Mission is her area, so pitch in, y'all, send those recommendations. WTF are you supposed to eat there anyway?
Probably late for it now, but my sister and law and her wife, who are basically Boston based foodies, recommend basically anything on this list: https://boston.eater.com/maps/best-rest ... re-roxbury

They also recommend checking out the Jamaica Plain food scene which is nearby if she interested in a little exploration: https://boston.eater.com/maps/best-rest ... aica-plain

From her: "Tres gatos, blue Nile, and the Cuban place on this second list I've heard really good stuff about. "

I liked them better than lemonheads but never understood why the didn't just call them candy coated peanuts, I'd have bought them either way.

Boston Pizza is commonly used by the courts as a cost-effective alternative to prison.

Couldn't Boston just use bussing to send them to Vermont?

No need for busses they'll just end up hitching there for the next Phish/Phish adjacent show.

Just follow the scent of patchouli, Sunshine Rainbow Sparkle, it will lead you to some sweet jams.
