We had the opportunity to take more or less of a culinary tour of the city. I did not snap photos of everything, but we did have many of the great dishes that Boston is known for. Primarily: seafood. The last morning I was there, I had a great brunch of crab-cakes served with poached eggs. Amazing. I was also able to sample some clam chowder-much better than the clam chowder you can get here in Chicago! (from the can) (chowder featured in photo below). Post-race, my taste buds sampled a "natural disaster burger" which is not photographed but could easily be replicated for your enjoyment. This was a turkey burger served with swiss cheese, avocado, chutney, and chipotle sauce. Awesome.
Besides the chowder previously mentioned, also featured below is my pre-half marathon meal. I was told this meal was brave as many racers will not eat something unusual before a race. However, I run these races for fun and not to run so...for me it didn't matter.
Pre-race we had a wonderful octopus sampler and for my main course I had a ravioli with apple, Gorgonzola sauce, and figs. Very rich and fantastic...Joe (not running the race) sampled the lobster, also photographed. It was his very first lobster and from what I could tell, it was incredibly tasty.
I can't wait to go back. First of all, because Boston is a great city...and second of all because the food is wonderful and the seafood is fresh...something definitely lacking here in Chi-town.
