Wahlberg’s Alma Nove shines

You might not think, in a less-than-stellar economy, that there’d be room for a new, high-end restaurant in the suburbs. But as owner-chef Paul Wahlberg has proven, there’s always room at the top. The top, in this case, is actually the side — the waterside. Alma Nove is … [Read more...]

Calling all Food Lovers: new chef on the block

We've got a new chef on the South Shore. A great chef, actually: one who trained at the Culinary Institute of America, cooked at Boston’s L’Espalier, and comes to us directly from 12 years as executive chef of the enormous, celebrity restaurant empire of Todd English. And … [Read more...]

Jasper White’s new Summer Shack

It's only the third Saturday night since Jasper White's fourth Summer Shack opened at the Derby Street shops, and at 5:30 p.m. there's already a wait. The crowd is a mix of ages and styles, but en masse this feels like a group that absolutely knows its seafood. Trying to … [Read more...]

Alchemy of heat and pressure

It's cranberry season now, and apple season, and green tomato time, too. And pears are there for the picking and even raspberries -- but not for much longer. Last month, the grape harvest ended, and before that, of course, it was August, and July, and June, and many fruits … [Read more...]
