Boutique Alternatives for Boston Restaurant Week

A bitterly cold February evening. Seven chatty food writers. A brand new pizza restaurant. Almost 10 wood-fired pizzas. All that just starts to set the stage for a long-awaited dinner I attended with a few fun ladies. We gathered at Pizzeria Posto (Somerville, Massachusetts) to indulge in cheese, red sauce and some rapid-fire conversation, only

Eat Boutique Blogger Potluck Recap

by Maggie Battista

A weird thing happened when I returned from living abroad earlier this year. In Paris, that gorgeous spot I called home for a while, everyone looked so fashionable, so unique, so strange to me; they all seemed absolutely nothing like my boring American self. On the contrary, the moment I stepped off the plane back

FRESH, the Movie and Movement

by Shelby Larsson

While Eat Boutique is not necessarily a site where we discuss the politics of food, this subject matters to any one who cares about what they eat, where that food comes from, and the people that produce that food. In that vein, we thought you all might be interested in learning more about a new

Food Event: Our Palate vs. Our Planet

by Maggie Battista

A few of us over at Eat Boutique – okay, perhaps all of us! – are in love with Joanne Chang.

Orchestras Feeding America

by Chelsea Bardot Lewis

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve lived in the Boston area for almost eight years and have not yet been to Symphony Hall. So when I heard that the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) had partnered with the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) as part of the “Orchestras Feeding America” initiative, I jumped on the opportunity

Outstanding in the Field

by Heather Atwood

This is a story of a long table draped in white, lined with perfectly placed wooden seats, standing in the middle of a field, waiting for the guests to dine beneath flickering swallows’ tails, along-side butterflies and trailing bean vines. Outstanding in the Field began in 1999, in Santa Cruz, California, when a man named

Food Films Series

Rabelais Books in Portland, Maine is co-hosting a delicious Winter/Spring film series this February, March and April. Each evening features a foodie-centric film along with a meal inspired by that film. Attendees will mingle with other film fans as well as the featured chef, which always feels very special to us. The very first event

Boston’s Bazaar Bizarre

by Maggie Battista

Have you finished all your holiday shopping yet? Sadly, my answer to that is no. This time last year, I had every present accounted for and wrapped under a decked out tree. This year… well… I’ve been busy launching a holiday gift box (among too many other things). I’m not worried though. On Sunday, I
