Locals Keep Coming Back To This Old-School Massachusetts Market For Hot Italian Sandwiches
Some of the subs at this corner market reportedly weigh up to two and a half pounds. That’s not a lunch. That’s a commitment with bread on both sides. The chicken cutlets get coated, seasoned, and cooked to order. Then they get piled with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, broccoli rabe, or hot stuffed peppers.

Snowport Boston eats: What’s worth the money?
Snowport is Boston’s largest holiday market, open from Nov. 6 to Dec. 27 in the Seaport. Over the past few years, its popularity has skyrocketed, with Saturday crowds causing lines with multi-hour wait lines that wrap around the block. Last year, I went to Snowport five times, as I wanted to try as many of the food stalls as I could. In honor of Snowport’s opening this week, here are my ratings of all the foods I tried. Usually the food stalls stay consistent each year, so you should be able to try these for yourself.

Sprucing Up School Food With Gleaned Produce
Produce gleaned from local farms has been an ingredient staple at CommonWealth Kitchen (CWK) in Dorchester, Massachusetts since its founding days in 2009. A 2018 BioCycle article that featured CWK (scroll to end of post) reported that CWK processed over 2 tons of surplus Massachusetts apples purchased from the Boston Area Gleaners into 400 gallons of applesauce for Boston Children’s Hospital and the Boston Public Schools. That project helped lay the groundwork for CWK to collaborate with local gleaners to supply nutritious food to school districts in its region. Its facility in Dorchester houses a commissary kitchen that offers recipe development, ingredient preparation, cooking, packing and labeling and freezing if needed.
