April 23I cant believe it this is my last column of the semester. I am sad about this, to say the least. From caterpillars to taro roots to kava, thank you so much for joining me on this culinary adventure. What a long, strange trip its been. I hope this column, if nothing else, has helped you appreciate the weird, wonderful diversity of food that exists on this planet and what a remarkable selection of things turn out to be edible. I hope Ive opened your horizons, but if youve tuned in each week just to be grossed out and laugh at me, thats fine too. Still, as we part ways, Id like to encourage you to take the plunge. Eat something youre not familiar with. If its cooked properly, the worst thing thats likely to happen is that you dont like it.
Flatbread Company offers fantastic pizza, bowling fun
April 15Enjoy mixing your food with fun? Davis Squares Flatbread Company happens to share a venue with Saccos Bowl Haven, a funky candlepin bowling alley that is the last alley standing of those opened by the famous Sacco bowling family. The Saccos allowed Flatbread to take over the building as well as the bowling alley, and now the restaurant has become a Davis fan favorite for those who know where to look. Located on Day Street, Flatbread is just a block away from the heart of the square, but many Jumbos could go their entire time at Tufts without ever noticing the brick building with its fairly humble sign hanging above the door. This is especially true as no other businesses are on the street. The restaurant has no reason to fret, though. Rave reviews by word-of-mouth mean a surplus of customers on Friday and Saturday evenings, ready for some of the best all-natural, wood-fired, clay-oven pizza around.
