 For whatever reason I've been recently wistful for workhorse food from specific cheap unassuming restaurants when I lived in the Boston area. Super burrito from Anna's Taqueria in Porter Square, falafel wrap from Moody's Falafel Palace (RIP) in Central Square, sausage egg and cheese croissant from a Dunkin Donuts I used to stop at in Needham.... these are some of my many madeleines I guess 33 comments | Expand all CWs

 @darius i think about the Anna's burrito as well sometimes, partly because i now live in the planet's burrito capital and wonder how well it would measure up to my current very high standards. @jplebreton deluxe town diner yesss! I think I usually got French toast or some other fancy pancakes  @misc it is amazing to me that I have only been back twice in 8 years and one of those times I spent mostly in Worcester (quite happily, but still) @darius Aw, man, Anna’s. The Portuguese breakfast plate at the Neighborhood Restaurant in Union Square, too. “All breakfasts served with cream of wheat.” @bryantd yes absolutely! I remember when we were briefly Union Square neighbors! I recall their sickly sweet cream of wheat with great fondness though I'll admit I was sad when they changed their portions from "could feed three horses" to "could feed one horse" @darius Has anyone lived here and NOT developed at least an occasional Anna's craving?     @darius moody’s still owned by same guy at least! https://boston.eater.com/2019/3/19/18272461/moodys-falafel-palace-aleppo-palace-changes-cambridge @darius I regularly wistfully think back to the falafel wraps (the hot sauce was the key!) from the Falafel Palace. Another weekly lunch staple was the Suan La Chow Show at Mary Chung.  @darius ahhh! I still think about and crave Anna’s to this day despite being on the other side of the country for over 10 years now and not having had an Anna’s burrito since I left. |
