Great job by two guys at the top of their game!

As a life long resident of Boston, I have had the pleasure of following Michael all along his journey here in our great city. I was working at the venerable Louis, Boston when he came to take over their Cafe. I was hooked and it hasn’t stopped since.

Although my favorite spot in Boston is not a Schlow establishment(Jody Adam’s No.9 Park takes that title)I know that after a long trip away from home, whenever I return, a visit to one of Michael’s places really hits the spot!

Thanks for the great WLTV GV!!

QOTD: If I were ever in Boston I would definitely go to to Via Matta. Great website. I love good Italian wines. Thanks, Michael, for visiting.
Gary, I tried to link up the the keynote speech at Affiliate Summit but I was unable to view it. I hope you link up the video or a copy of the speech. I’d love to hear it.

Great Stories, loved that Flemington was dropped, remember the fairgrounds that’s now a Lowes? Too funny.

QOTD: Black Rose. Although it is a bar…but in the bar is a poem “Roisin Dubh” Named our daughter Roisin because we went to the bar when we were dating. Ahhhh Memories.

Amazing show Gary, please do more like this – except – without it being goobed-up by bad sound: three words for when you’re traveling around and going quick setups:

Portable Shotgun Microphone !!!!

I don’t mean anything crazy either – nothing on the end of a pole with a fur wind filter required – ‘frinstance, this little puppy would’ve improved things here drastically:

Sennheiser MKE 400 Compact Video Camera Shotgun Microphone

Cost you a few hundred bones – but it’ll make doing shows like this one much more satisfying on the audience.

My apologies if you actually have a little guy like that but it just wasn’t switched on.

Hey Michael, Great show! Never had the op to eat in your restaurants, I left Boston in ‘95, but I’m sure they ROCK! My Fave Beantown rest: Massimino’s Cucina Italiana.

Michael, you’ve lived in East Brunswick, NJ???? No way!!! I’m from EB too! Small world.

I will definitely try to make it out to your restaurant next time I’m in Boston. Looks like an amazing place!

QOTD: Last time I visited Boston was a very quick trip and didn’t go out to a great restaurant for food. Went to faniel hall for some quick bites and that’s it.

Great show Gary, Good chemistry between you two. I’d never heard of him before, now i want to come to Boston and try his restaurant. When are you coming out to Portland to try some Oregon Pinot Noir’s?

Gary,
Wow you have a knack for comparing wines to food. This is my first time posting. So far i have watched 24 episodes and I wanted to say that you have me. Im in i have spent my time in 2008 devoted to wine. I have spent time drinking wines from around the world an I continue to come back to Spain. I would like to suggest a 2004 Tempranillo from Campo Viejo Reserva. I popped the bottle tonight and was amazed this was a new varietal that I tastes. I am 26 years old and very new to the wine world. By the way i would like to let you know that I am setting up and palate tasting for some friends of mine and then pair them to wines. I will let you know how it goes. When you talked to Jorge Ordonez was my first episode, loved it. You mentioned Muga but never got a response on it. I would love to know what you think of Muga, I have a 2003 unfiltered reserve in my cellar I love it.
Cannnot wait to hear from you

I’m hoping the third time’s the charm on getting this episode to load and let me finish watching so I don’t have to switch to the Quicktime version.

Yep, it was. Good guest. I think Michael is even better at going off topic than Gary is! Fun, though.

QOTD: The only times I’ve been in Boston proper, other than for a Red Sox game (and fine dining is not on the agenda for that), has been with a batch of 5th or 6th graders on overnight field trips. I know we ate, but I have no recollection of where…
Time for an adult field trip, it seems! Via Matta sounds wonderful.

Way to mix it up, G. I would love to hear your thoughts on the last two dishes, though. I love me some Italian.

QOTD: I ran the Marathon there two years ago and went to a few restaurants that were really nice and low-key. Meaning: not too touristy and ones where the locals ate. I don’t remember the names, but, I do know that we stayed in a very, very blue-collar part of town and the food shops were all very neighborhoody…in a good way.

I second that Paul : The Daily Catch! Giacomo’s isn’t the “stand out” that everyone says. It’s good, like a lot of restaurant in Boston, but The Daily Catch’s food is a true stand out.

Welcome back to Boston, Gary,
