It has been a long hiatus, but there are so many incredible food happenings going on around town that it is time to revive The Weekly Bump.
Today
It may be a little late to head out tonight on a moment's notice, but the seafood conversation from knowing what fish you're actually eating, to eating fish that is sustainable, is such a growing trend and a discussion worth perpetuating that I just needed to share tonight's a well.
Menton is offering diners a communal dining experience with a side of conversation with Chef de Cuisine Wyatt Maguire. As you feast on some of the gastronomic bounty of New England's waters, learn some of the history and changing relationship New England has with the Atlantic ocean. The evening starts with a reception including wine and hors d'oeuvres, and flows through a four course meal highlighting fish and shellfish from our local fish and shellfish purveyors.
