Boston's Leather District at night.
I have added a new Boston-based food blogger to my list: Jacqueline, who writes The Leather District Gourmet, is a lively writer who knows her stuff. With great photos, recipes, reviews, and just an all-around easy-going confidence in who she is as a food writer, this is a local blogger to watch.
The Other Side
Her most recent post is a review of The Other Side Cafe, a popular restaurant/bar on Newbury Street in Boston. When I say "popular" I don't mean you'll find lots of tourists and Brahmins here; this is a hipster hangout where the musicians, bike messengers, retail slaves and eternal students go to have a delicious microbrew beer (or three) and eat the very tasty mostly-vegetarian food. How many restaurants have a MySpace page? Not many, but what do I know.
Bacon Wars
Jacqueline also writes about raw food, and, perhaps appropriately, given her abattoir-haunted location, fake bacon: the former a healthy and much-maligned (because misunderstood, perhaps) way of eating, and the latter an evil invention, in my humble opinion. Blog Sober, the Champagne of Blogs features a discussion in a post from Bacon Week. Bacon may not be a very healthy food, but as you know I encourage moderation in all things. Some bacon once in a while is not going to hurt anyone, and will certainly improve your life more than denying yourself bacon will. Jacqueline understands this philosophy of balance too, I suspect. Most lovers of good food do. Health is not just what we do, but how we feel about it.
Thanks for your intelligent, fascinating and entertaining blog, Jacqueline! I am now a faithful reader.
