A colleague of mine forwarded an article from Boston.com about "Hell Night" at East Coast Grill in Cambridge. I’ve heard of the event but have never been.  I’ll admit that I find it daunting at least, and perhaps even a little scary.  "Pasta From Hell" sounds like a test of fortitude, not a culinary creation!

Even though it goes off into a discussion about how all sorts of ethnic foods are becoming more and more popular and common throughout the United States, this article in the San Francisco Chronicle starts off by saying "After decades of being satisfied with mild foods, it’s now craving bold flavors that pack a punch [...]

I was hesitant to put this under the category of "Restaurant Wings" since it barely qualifies for either, but for lack of a better description, I’ll put it there for now.  I am thinking of putting a "take out" category however.

Served with House Sweet Chili Sauce." I figured that they were fried and served [...]

While on a long weekend excursion with friends to Chicago recently, we tried the Wings Around the World, described as "A dozen chicken wings tossed in three different world-class sauces: a spicy Moroccan sauce, an Asian-sesame sauce and our classic wing sauce." The wings themselves were perfectly cooked – crispy and well done, with plenty [...]
