There’s a short “Where’s StriperGuy?” discussion on the Armenian markets thread:
Rather than have that stream flow in an unrelated direction, I thought it best to start a new topic. Plus this may increase the chances that SG will take the bait…
For those who do not know, this old Chowhound post gives you a flavor of SG:
It’s also a fascinating snapshot of the Boston food scene at the time.
SG’s last posts on CH were from around late 2015:
Anybody know what he’s up to now? As mentioned on the other thread, he did have a new baby, and I know from experience how much that can take over your life. Still, one can hope that he’ll resurface here.
I also wonder where is Itaunas, and EATTV, or EATV? The latter did a month long dining fest on CH. I don’t have time to search for it, but it was incredible.
Hi folks, I will admit to being stranded in the Metro West food desert (I have young kids so don’t get out as much as I used to). I do a lot of cooking at home. I’ve taken my bread baking to new levels ;-)…
Oh and I live 4 blocks from a great fishing pond, so should probably change my name to LargeMouthBassGuy (which probably fits in more ways than one)
That said, here are a few:

And @StriperGuy surfaces! (Sorry, can’t help myself ) May I suggest TroutGuy if you are taking name suggestions? There are some great rainbow trout ponds in MetroWest/Central Mass around about now!
I work in Metro West and there are still good places around there…If you like Sichuan Gourmet I think China Gourmet on Route 9 might be of interest. Westborough Korean restaurant is also a solid option. The only thing missing around the 'boros are a good solid bowl of pho…
I have only been to Heng Lay once for their excellent wings. Since the menu is unfamiliar to me, I could do with some recommendation. I eat (almost) anything. Sichuan Gourmet in Burlington is close to me and a real favorite.
StriperGuy and Ferrari328, any particular dishes you recommend at Asian Gourmet and Spicepepper Garden? (I love Sichuan Gourmet in Framingham and Burlington; are there dishes that are better at Spicepepper Garden?)
That’s a nice catch! My husband has been taking advantage of the recent stocking as well. I usually hot smoke them over tea leaves, and they are excellent in a cream cheese spread with a bagel from Brooklyn Water Bagels (also a Metrowest gem) or with some pita chips.
Asian Gourmet: whatever the dish is with pork fermented veg and those chunky rice disk noodles (Korean’s would call them Dok.) Clams with black bean sauce. Pretty much anything on the Taiwanese menu is good to excellent.
For Spicepepper, likewise, just stay away from the Americanized/familiar items. Good stuff includes:
