I stopped by Gene’s in Woburn for the first time in a few months, and noticed a new dish on the menu: #17, pork intestine with bread, the same bread you tear up and return to them. I’m not sure if it’s a full soup; I didn’t try it b/c my dining companion isn’t a fan of stewed intestine. I forgot to ask how long that’s been on the menu.
We had the hand-pulled noodle, the pork burger, and the dumpling soup. My friend was especially fond of the soup broth, which I concur is excellent. I don’t remember seeing the #16 hot and sour hand-pulled noodle soup, which IIRC includes a similar broth. I hope that’s not actually off the menu.
I should probably update the relevant Chowhound thread if I can find it amongst the huge number of old threads they like to feed up nowadays.
Your post inspired me on this cold, cold night to pick up some of the dumpling soup (#10, extra spicy) which I am enjoying right now. So, thanks! I did look at the picture of the new dish, but I’m not a fan of organ meats. The special order chicken dish is still calling to me, but I don’t really have an event to bring in 20 pounds of spicy food. Maybe if the Patriots make it to the Super Bowl…
