Boston magazine's 25 best new restaurants 2015

Welcome back to town. Where were you living previously?

Yes, Phantom Gourmet the ultimate pay to play show. That’s not to say they don’t have some decent finds and recommendations, but I would corroborate with another source (ask here or even check Yelp reviews). There is a lot of foodie hate for PG, but I take it all with a grain of salt. All media outlets have some sort of slant.

PG tends to be stronger in the comfort food segment (wings, steak tips, huge desserts my kids like). That’s not meant to be a diss as I love that stuff too.
