This Massachusetts Diner Serves A $10 Breakfast That Makes Chain Prices Look Ridiculous

A pancake that covers the whole plate is already enough to get me through the door. The fact that nobody here treats that like a big deal somehow makes it even better. The rest of breakfast follows the same idea. The ham comes in thick pieces, the plates are loaded with eggs, home fries, and toast, and the prices still feel surprisingly reasonable for Massachusetts.

Puerto Rican Flavor Meets Pizza At This Massachusetts Restaurant And It’s Quite A Combination

Bacon pizza on one side of the counter and tostones with chicharrones on the other is exactly the kind of menu combination that makes me stop and look twice. This Massachusetts spot leans into Puerto Rican comfort food with frituras, pernil, empanadas, and sancocho, while still keeping a full pizza menu in the mix. I like that it does not seem interested in choosing just one identity.
