Welcome back, people. Last time we discussed how finding the Best Boston Restaurant for Italian cuisine is an obstacle that we will face at some point in our lives. We discussed a few of the differences between a family owned place and a chain restaurant. This week we will further discuss this issue but we will look at the menus and how they differ between the two types of restaurants.
In a smaller, family owned restaurant, you will find many dishes that remind you of home and your grandmother. Many a times, these recipes have been passed down in the family and are cherished family heirlooms. As these recipes are prepared for a customer, they are prepared the same way an elderly Italian grandmother would prepare them. There is more to that recipe than meets the eye. There is love, care, tradition, and family secrets in that recipe. There are many recipes that cannot be shared outside the family, and there is nowhere else to get these delicious entrees other than that one little hole-in-the-wall place. This is perhaps the biggest attraction attributed to family owned restaurants. The food will always taste like your grandmother cooked it and it will never have the generic look to it.
In contrast to a Best Boston Restaurant, a chain restaurant will provide you with a different appeal. They will give you a menu that hardly ever changes and will always have the same basic taste to it. If you are a control freak, this is the place for you. The chefs at these types of restaurants have to adhere to strict recipes and will rarely put their own twist on things. Because of this, you will almost always have the same exact meal with little to no surprise, and it that is how you want your dinner to go then there is no better place for you to spend your evening.
Dessert is always a touchy topic. At smaller, family owned places, the menu will vary and you don’t always know what you are in for. Sure they may have the traditional ice cream and generic chocolate cake, but you can’t always have those as the finishing touch to your meal. If you did, well then you are just plain boring. The rest of us adventurous folk look forward to the varying menu that includes the family recipes of cannoli and lemon cookies that we can snack on while enjoying a delicious cappuccino. This is what we look forward to and the surprise of a daily recipe thrills us to no end.
At a chain restaurant, there is never a changing menu, as we have mentioned before. This is great for people who like to develop favorites and will go to a restaurant just for one specific item, usually a dessert item. I myself am a sucker for red velvet cheesecake and if I can find a place that makes a decent one, I will continue coming back just to develop an opinion on their recipe for red velvet cheesecake. For this reason alone chain restaurants can be appealing.
Don’t be discouraged by all the information that has been thrown at you this week, there is still more that can impact your decision on what is the Best Boston Restaurant for Italian cuisine. Who knows, you may learn more than you expected; tune in next week to find out.
