Interracial relationships are common in boston but what isn’t common is finding a restaurant with bomb food and drinks but also feels like a real neighborhood spot like somewhere everyone knows each others names and everyone’s yelling across the room at each other which is why I was pumped to find this Italian place in Winthrop wherever that is I met Joe at one of his pop ups and he’s a crazy dude a real high energy passionate guy who loves getting creative with cocktails and intimate with his lovely gf (edit: they’re actually MARRIED!) which is why he created his Ode to Seoul menu which combines spirits from his family’s Italian restaurant with flavors and memories of their recent couples trip to Korea. SO GOOD AND SO CUTE! But you know me it’s not enough for a place to have good food and drinks it also needs to have great people for me to rave about it and the staff here are riot. A true family business, it literally feels like just hanging at an Italian persons house with all their immediate and extended family and cousins who are def not related. Couldn’t have had a better time. Come check out @vuoloswinthrop in Winthrop if you want to experience for yourself! . . #boston #bostonfood #bostonfoodie #bostoneats #interracial

My favorite Chinese noodle shop in the Boston area just opened a location in Seaport and you might be thinking what why they don’t know good food in Seaport but I think you’re behind the times like 5 years ago sure maybe everyone in Seaport would just be happy with Chipotle or those other big chains but in the last year or two I’ve noticed a change in the types of businesses opening up there it’s like all the corporate drones all of a sudden remembered that food can be more than just fuel to maximize shareholder value it can also be delicious, made with craft, and tell fascinating cultural stories and if you want to hear one of those stories come here and say what’s up to the owner Sean who’s this tall cute Chinese guy who’s pretty shy. . . #boston #bostonfood #bostoneats #seaportboston #bostonfoodie

My favorite and objectively the nicest rooftop bar in boston is @foxglove.terrace owned by husband-wife Comfort Kitchen owners @biplawrai and Nyacko Pearl Perry who for some reason I can’t find on IG right now It’s the only rooftop bar in boston with actual views of the boston skyline due to it being in allston and has some incredible cocktails courtesy of @willisaza and team of bespectacled bartenders Food menu by @veorobert who is known and loved locally for his Lao pop up @phaengandphiu features some high-flavor small plates like that insane looking and tasting bone marrow insertion toast and mushroom dumplings that are like little umami bundles of warmth in your mouth and soul They often collaborate with chefs and bartenders in the local boston community. Much of the footage in this was from an AAPI dinner back in May that I still think about to this day

If you’re young and hot and kinda tan in boston you def know @itsmarcelinos it’s a great place to Drink🔥 middle eastern cocktails but you don’t even know where the Middle East starts and ends on a map and I’m not judging you I’m the same way it’s just the way the education system was set up anyway like many places in seaport the first question you’ll have will be around value or quality for price and as much as I love to be a hater it’s actually hard to hate on these cocktails and drinking them on a gorgeous outdoor patio surrounded by gorgeous locals and foreigners. The boston cream espresso martini has been a topic of many a viral video and it is transcendent (not too sweet, no creaminess despite the name, I hate baileys in espresso martinis) but I gotta say I much prefer the other cocktails particularly the middle eastern inspired ones. There’s the Jallab which is based on an interesting floral, fruity middle eastern beverage and the peach and honey which is just so refreshing on a hot summer day. The food menu has bright spots as well. Of course the labneh, that should be locked in to every order every time, but the muhamarra and lamb chops are very nice too. Less impressed with the more basic dishes. Chicken schnitzel and skewers for example were somewhat dry when I went. Overall as far as seaport restaurants this one is up there for me. Definitely keeping it in the rotation. Speaking of which dm me anytime for the current full rotation . . #boston #bostonfood

This new boston seafood restaurant is Asian owned with white chefs who were Asian-trained and the Asian is married to a white lady. It’s all very interracial. Which may or may not upset you. im all for it. Honestly it’s too hot out to care about things like that. When the suns out and it’s 90 out I’m just tryna take off my shirt and eat lobster and clams by the beach. Unfortunately there’s no beach around here except bu beach but there is Blanchards right next door which is nice. Anyway this is probably my new fav seafood restaurant in boston. Very high quality product and some interesting culinary flexes like yellowtail crudo with smoked olive oil and grapefruit ponzu. Which is great and all but just give me my whole belly clams. Oh they also now have a smashburger that looks really good pull up #boston #bostonfoodies

My Filipina ex told me Filipinos don’t use utensils until first grade but she also told me she loved me so we all know we cant trust her but either way I’ve always loved Filipino food it was always kinda like wtf is any of this like a lot of the time it’s just a bunch of different ingredients mixed together. Halo halo, sisig, biniling, and of course Kamayan. And for some reason always delicious. I’ve had the pleasure and honor of getting to know Aldren of @kuyascooking over the last few years and not only is he a beast in the kitchen, consistently making mouth watering crispy lechon and garlic rice for food festivals all over boston but he also occasionally does these Kamayan dinners at locations across the greater boston area. If you don’t know Kamayan is basically exactly what it looks like. He cooks an outrageous amount of Filipino food and dumps it on a table covered in banana leaves. No plates or utensils. And you and your fellow diners just dig in. As someone who loves interesting and unique dining experiences this was a really fun one. Follow them to see where they pop up next!

It goes without saying but some of the best food in boston isn’t in boston like the other day I was in Braintree for some reason and came across this bbq place at the mall of all places and bbq isn’t a cuisine boston is really known for in fact ppl generally agree we are actually really bad at it so I had low hopes but turns out it was actually quite good I spoke to the owner and he went through great pains to make his bbq as close as possible to Texas bbq, specifically Terry Blacks in Dallas, like importing native Texan post oak wood and using the secret smoke-and-rest method he learned down there. Overall it really paid off bc the ribs and brisket were some of the best I’ve had up here. . . #boston #bostonfood #bostonfoodies

Dinner in the North End with my friends @c_money_617 @chopstickmurphys & @dbunz2020 at @bellavistanorthend Growing up in the North End, being at the Connah Store every Sunday-Tuesday, the owner of Bella Vista, Lucia, would always come to see me & my brother. She would spoil us with gifts all the time. The one gift that comes to mind is a Pokémon vhs, I believe charmander was on the cover. Anyway, it’s always great to see her! I’ve known her forever. C-Money has too. I met C when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Bella Vista has done a COMPLETE renovation! They’ve added a full bar in their restaurant. It’s more beautiful than ever. The food I had always been good. They’re the only restaurant in the NorthEnd serving escargot. Well, them and their sister restaurant next door. Come on down to Bella Vista. Let Lucia know who sent you! #fyp #foryou #foodie #bellavista #wdyets #northend #italian #italy #escargot #comedy #funny #foodies #foodieofboston #bostonfood #wdyets #haha #friends #goodtimes #christmas #merrychristmas

The question I get the most after are you gay or not gay is where do you get your hair cut bc everyone knows but it’s hard to find barbers or hair stylists in the boston area that can deal with an Asian man with Asian woman hair. But a few years ago I found this swaggy tatted Asian stylist and hes mad knowledgeable and hilarious so I’ve been going to him ever since. I’m super ignorant about hair and he always explains everything including styling strategies, products, how to match your hair to your face shape and how not to go bald early. He’s also launching a new subscription service where you can get unlimited perms for an annual fee. If you’re interested, dm “Asian man face, Asian woman hair” to @78hairlab Check him out at 78 Hair Lab Watertown for cuts, colors, and chemical treatments like perms. . . #boston #bostonhairstylist #hairjourney #asianhair

Everyone within earshot of Boston’s Seaport knows I’m in love with my Korean coworker so when this new handroll restaurant opened down the street from our office I knew I needed to take him bc he always talks about how he loves sushi but can’t go to nice places bc of his wife and kids and I know a lot of you have similar stories too like we spend 40-80 hours a week with the same people of course you’re gonna fall in love with some of them but most of the time you got nowhere to take them bc the options are more boring than your company subsidized cafeterias which is why I’m pumped that @mai.izakaya is now open bc it def brings something completely new to seaport. As @matsunori.handrollbar sister restaurant you know the hand rolls are gonna be fire but it also has a full bar and a chaotic, fun energy it’s def more like Matsu’s hot younger sister who’s experimenting with her sexuality anyway if you’re in the Seaport area which it seems like everyone is now def come to Mai for lunch dinner or drinks and a guaranteed good time . . #boston #bostonfood #bostonfoodies #bostonseaport

When my ex cheated on me after learning I wasn’t Korean I was actually kinda proud of her bc that showed how quickly she picked up viet culture. And that’s the thing when you date interracially you inevitably internalize parts of each others’ cultures. Like everyone knows legendary Boston chef Jamie B has been tremendously influenced by his wife and in-laws (Korean). He went full Korean with Somaek but with his newest concept, Willie’s, an italian spot with some of my favorite pizza in Boston, he just sneaks some Asian ingredients in an otherwise mostly italian menu. Gochujang and yuzu in pasta, and karaage served with pickled korean vegetables. I have a lot of strongly opinionated Asian friends, many of whom are strongly against non-Asian chefs playing with Asian ingredients. I also suspect they’re against dating outside our race. Personally, I think it’s all about intent and execution. I’m not an expert nor a critic, but I have several other friends who have worked for Jamie in the past and have said that from a culinary standpoint he’s undoubtedly S-Tier, which makes me think he has no issues with either. What do you think? Not only about Willie’s but also about the broader conversation of chefs, artists, creatives etc. experimenting with elements from other cultures? Or interracial dating

Nowadays all the baddies love anime. Japan in general has become so popular in the mainstream. Ppl like oh it’s so clean it’s so premium. But I don’t need 300$ omakase and temples. Give me cheap beer highballs and skewered meats in a smoky way too crowded tokyo back alley drinking with some local who can’t speak english and is probably a pervert. And that’s the spirit we tried to capture here at @norinori.izakaya . That frenetic overstimulation of shinjuku nightlife. That overlooked underbelly of japanese culture. This place is For people who had to grow up pretending they don’t know naruto hand signs and then go home and look at bootleg risque imagery on deviantart. Classic Izakaya staples like yakitori, grilled beef tongue, and cheesy creamy mentaiko udon. Our fan-favorite miso butter cod but removed from the hand roll and served à la carte. Savory rich Japanese curry. And cheap beer and highballs. And of course handrolls. Admittedly smaller than @matsunori.handrollbar but also proportionally cheaper. The idea is you eat fewer rolls and more of the other delicious dishes our chef Tim aka the chicken man spent hours and lost years off his life span creating for you. Go to matsu if you want hand rolls! Come here if you want a fun time

Koreans are widely regarded as the coolest Asians (real ones know it’s really the Viets) probably bc of kpop, high cheek bones and naturally hairless forearms But their mainstream success is reaching new highs as nowadays even finance bros are discovering Korean BBQ And I’m not tryna shame anyone for not knowing. I didn’t even learn about kbbq until my twenties and it was from a black dude who watched too much anime and loved Asian women. Anyway this new kbbq restaurant is the best kbbq spot in the boston area and it’s not even close. Like it’s way better than the second best and the second best is way better than the rest. As you can see in the video the food quality is insane. House made premium banchan. Perfectly cooked fresh meat of the choicest and juiciest cuts. And a surprisingly good cocktail program (bar manager imported from Zuma I think his name is Brandon he’s chill and cute) The most shocking thing is the price. It’s not even expensive for kbbq especially considering the quality of ingredients. And the “sides” like bibim guksu (bibim noodles) and kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) are better than most the Korean restaurants in boston who specialize in these things. And way cheaper. Wild! And I’m pretty sure the owners of this one don’t even steal tips. . . #boston #bostonfood

Seaport has been described as the Miami of Bboston bc of the high density of immigrant labor, offshore money laundering and peptides. I can’t speak for the last two but I work in Seaport and a lot of ppl in my office are H1Bs and/or international and one thing I can say about them is they love a good deal. If I were to take them out for dinner after work I would take them to @mai.izakaya where they have a handroll happy hour where you can get 4 for 3 sushi hand rolls between 5 and 7 M-W because Boston is still behind the times and won’t let us do regular happy hour. And as Summer closes @mai.izakaya will be rotating their seasonal cocktail menu soon, so try their not-too-sweet, not-too-tart pornstar martini and orange plum sour before the pumpkin spice nonsense hits the menu.

People do run clubs for the same reason ppl drink matcha and it’s not for health it’s for the huzz. Some ppl are pure of heart though, and two of them recently opened a cute little Matcha and Vietnamese coffee pop-up at the foundry in Cambridge right across the bridge from Boston. Simon and Tiffany, two young hot Asians and locals to the Boston area for all of their lives may have started their Matcha journey like all of us. But then they took a trip to Japan, where they did extensive research and development, taking notes on all the tips techniques and traditions that made their favorite Matcha taste the way that it did. When they got back to Boston, they discovered that REDACTED and REDACTED and all the other popular Matcha places just didn’t quite hit the same. Taking matters into their own hands they started up a Matcha pop-up @nomu.bos Popping up at bars and restaurants around the city. Their first few went so well that they ended up landing a long-term pop-up here at the foundry for June and potentially a bit of July I forget. Either way it’s only there for a little while longer so make sure to go try them out. Oh by the way, the Matcha is great and all but really the most impressive thing on their menu is their Vietnamese iced coffee. I particularly like the pandan one, which has a really lovely strong dark roasty flavor characteristic of Vietnamese coffee but also a lovely complex nuttiness due to the proprietary blend. I also happened to do my first ever group run with @aera_daily for their grand opening and I actually had quite a fun time so I’d highly recommend following them as well too if you’re also a young Asian in the Boston area looking to meet new people with a similar interest in health fitness and potentially ulterior motives. . . #boston #bostonfoodies
