Explain Boston to Me

Eating out in Boston RIGHT NOW with Rachel Blumenthal


Listen Later

In this episode, we're chatting with Rachel Blumenthal, food editor of Boston Magazine, about that publication's annual Top 50 Restaurants List and what it says about local dining culture at this particular moment in time. What are the latest trends? How is the culinary geography of the city changing? Will the sticker shock ever wear off? And how do these kinds of lists make the very culture they are assessing?

To celebrate the issue, Boston Magazine's Taste is happening on November 5; click here for tickets.

RIP Hitchbot, 10 years later.
