Great show today! Really enjoyed it, but why didn’t you sample the vittles???

QOTD: Lived in Boston for 13 years, and there were so many great restaurants I remember but it’s been so long (1991) I don’t even know it they’re still around: Maison Robert of course, Grotto La Strada in the North End was one of my favorite Italian places, Portugese at Casa Portugal in Cambridge, Mexican at Sol Azteca on Beacon St,, and so many more.

Next time I get to Boston I’ll make it a point to get to Via Matta. Looks like my kind of place.

QOTD: Just got back from our 1st trip to Boston (09′ Wine Expo) With only 4 evenings we had to choose wisely. We did spend and evening at “Great Bay” and it was phenomenal! From the service at the bar (Thanks Jonathan) to our dinner, this was our favorite night out. Order the Muscles!

Loved the atmosphere. Great guest–it always comes back to the dirty Jerz.

Why didn’t you try the food with the wine? That was a real dis to the chef, IMHO. Good show though.

Great episode…Michael has that “uncle” feeling. Wish he was my Uncle!!! “uncle Mike, whats for dinner?”

Fun to watch the foot traffic on the street and to peep into the windows across the street…..

Very voyeuristic…….LOL

What a great guest! To be totally honest, I had never heard of him. I just moved to the Boston area (Maynard, MA), and don’t watch TV or follow food at all. I just cook what I’ve learned from home / college / San Francisco / Minneapolis.

QOTD: None – I haven’t been around long enough to have a favorite. Definitely dropping by your restaurants now, though.

Who the heck is this fakey-fake Mr. Chef? Unbelievable how some of these “top notch” Americans do not have any table manners or manners at all! I stopped watching this episode when this guy started speaking while still food in his mouth. Damn, what an idiot, and this guy is supposed to know something about food. If you don’t have manners and that certain finesse in everything you do… I never want to find myself in a restaurant with a Chef like this guy, I just know the food will be o-ver-pri-ced and pretentious.

Love the food and wine show, Gary V, and on location, too – NICE!

QOTD: Fav restaurant in Boston – Durgin Park at Faneuil Hall with the outdoor seating (it’s all about the atmosphere for me).

Great show.

My go to restaurant has been Artu’s in the North End (love the Balsamic Chicken), but Via Matta will be my next stop. I’ve seen that Brick Chicken before, but never tried it….it looks amazing!!

Two great stories! There aren’t enough Bambi and Threes Company references now-a-days.

QOTD: I haven’t been to Boston yet, but would love to.

QOTD: Never been to Boston. I’d visit Schlow’s restaurant in a heartbeat if I happened to visit.

Good show…The food sounded great though there wasn’t much tasted.

Love the Bambi story. Adorable! Next time we’re in Boston we’ll be stopping in at Via Matta. I like the simplicity the salmon/fennel and the brick weighted chicken. Any recipes BTW?

Man O Man… wish I new about this guy when I was in Boston in 2002…

Derek/Ana… you need to go (if you have not already) and do a review for us!!!

Awesome Guest, Awesome Wine, Awesome Food… I’ve GOT to go…

QOTD: When I was there in ‘02, we went to ‘ye Olde Union Oyster House’… supposed to be the oldest restaurant in the U.S. Not bad, but I wish we were able to go to Via Matta!!!
