I particularly enjoyed stopping in for a bite at The Clarke Cooke House – the lobster roll was phenomenal with a glass of the Mer Soleil Chardonnay. Sitting at the Candy Store Bar, a famous haunt of Cup Contenders like Ted Turner, really makes me miss my own crew back home (my boys Jimmy and Christopher are the best mates!).

On a quick trip out of town, we visited Tastings Wine Bar & Bistro in Foxboro, Massachusetts to hang out with the Martin Family. They own Tastings and surprised me with a great Chef’s Table Dinner. Everything was fantastic but my favorite was the fried zucchini flowers stuffed with lobster – I can’t wait to try my hand at making it at home for Vanessa and the boys! The wine list has a nicely balanced selection so I recommend stopping in on the way to the next Patriots game.

Thanks to all of the great collectors who stopped in to see me on Saturday! I’m looking forward to my next trip to town.
