Evidently, at least in Boston, Todd English is still red hot-- Boston.com, the Globe's web portal for those who want news, with out the messy ink and words of a newspaper, features a slide show of images from a press conference promoting Restaurant Week, and old Todd manages to get his face in more than half of them.* This is the kind of thumbsucking provincialism that makes it hard for folks in the rest of the country to take Boston seriously. The shame of it is, there are a lot of new and interesting places to eat - Rendezvous in Cambridge produced one of the best meals I had all summer, and at least a half dozen places I didn't get a chance to try.
*Somehow, I suspect that Todd, with the more is more ethos documented so hilariously by Grimes, would enjoy the 18-layer burrito Taco Town sketch from SNL.
