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.

Hidden sign at Venus Cafe in Whitman sparks nostalgia and debate
Peter Drosos thought he knew what was behind the aging wood panels on the side of Venus Cafe. Brick, certainly. His family had plans to freshen up the exterior of the Whitman restaurant, including new signs and lighting. The old siding was showing its age, and Drosos had a vision for what would replace it. But on Oct. 17, when workers began removing the panels, something unexpected emerged. Beneath the blue siding was a painted Venus Cafe sign that had been hidden from public view for decades. What started as a routine renovation soon became a conversation about history, nostalgia and change. Longtime customers began sharing memories, while others questioned whether the past should dictate the restaurant's future. And for Drosos, the general manager of the family-owned business, the discovery presented an unexpected dilemma. A piece of restaurant history resurfaces The Enterprise learned of the discovery through a Facebook post in a group dedicated to South Shore bar pizza. A photograph showed workers removing siding to expose the old lettering painted across the brick exterior. By Oct. 23, the post had generated hundreds of reactions and tons of comments.
