The Butcher Shop In Boston.
After living in the South End for nearly three years, The Husband and I finally got around to trying one of the few restaurants we hadn't been to yet... The Butcher Shop.
(For the record, we also have not been to B&G Oysters - cuz I don't do shit that comes in a shell, The Dish or the Franklin Cafe.)
The Butcher Shop, I must say, is probably the best place we've eaten, other than Pigalle. It was awesome.
A co-worker of mine told me that if I ever got around to going to The Butcher Shop, I "should try the $14 hotdog."
And she was so right. It is something one should try.
The Husband actually ordered the hotdog. He had that, a coke and some olives.
Me? I had a glass of prosecco, a mozzarella salad, half a chicken (which was better than the chicken you get across the street at Hamersley's - where they're all about their chicken), and a glass of red wine (Costaripa Marzemino).
The Husband's portion of the bill came to $22. Mine came to about $62.
So, bottom line, you can eat cheaply there and still get an awesome meal. Or you can kick it up a notch (like I did) and go all out.
But yes, the $14 hotdog ROCKED. And the next time I go there, I'm so getting that.

Go to Franklin on the coldest, stormiest night. You can't see outside anyway.
Go to Dish on a pleasant spring/summer day, Monday or Tuesday is fine, when you are hungry, and sit outside.
