Great show, awesome guest,if I ever make it to Boston.

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?

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.

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.

Chef Schlow is a funny and affable guy and a good guest. Will try his restaurant next time I’m in Boston.

Matt, Did NOT know ur a video expert as well..more surprises!!!! 🙂

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!!

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).

– Rick from Hello Vino

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.

Gary!!
You know I love you…but..ummm…Im watching again…& Michael Schlow is just so awesome…is he single? Please pass him my info. lol (Im not kidding)
😉

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.

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

Loved the atmosphere. Great guest–it always comes back to the dirty Jerz.
I haven’t been to Boston since 1980???, but when I go back I will definitely try Via Matta.

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!

I just LOVE to see episodes of WLTV filmed in Boston!! great job on the camera Mott..I mean Matt!!

QOTD: Top of the hub, Prudential Building

QOTD: I’ve never been to Boston, so… But, I love simple, fresh, and straightforward Italian food.

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.

.

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,

Scott – Boston

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’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.

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

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?

Very cool episode, great chemistry, great stories and
apparently great wine. Love the guests and love the show!
