When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.

I didn't really…read moreknow what to expect, and when they asked me what I wanted to learn I told them I wanted to learn "some of the basics". Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.

To me, whenever I think about Boston, all I know is its strong seafood presence. However being in…read morethe suburbs of Boston, it gave me the opportunity to try other cuisines, and I was excited to see this authentic Turkish restaurant not far from my hotel. Ironically, I found this place when I was looking up ice cream. They serve authentic Turkish ice cream, and it's been something I've been wanting to try. In addition to the ice cream, I ordered Manti (Turkish dumplings) and Uludag soda (which they say is a Turkish ginger ale). I loooooooooved the Manti. While the dumplings were filled with meat, the dish overall felt light since each dumpling is like the size of a quarter. The dumplings had a nice chew, and the sauces made the dish rich yet creamy. The Uludag soda was definitely much lighter than a ginger ale. Tasted like a light citrusy drink, and it's less sweet than American sodas. The ice cream had a nice pull and chew, although it didn't look as stretchy as Turkish ice creams I've seen. Nice amount of pistachio flavor throughout. I came on a weekday lunch, so there was ample seating inside. Ordering is done via a QR code on your table or on a tablet stand in the middle of the restaurant. Service was quick and friendly, making it a great experience overall.

Friendly and helpful staff. I rate 4.5, but will give 5 as no intermediate option. Improvements would mainly be timing of different courses delivered at table (was fast, but more time between mezzo and mains would be better). I believe that this small business has even greater potential.

I got the bubbly cosmo which was small but delicious. Whipped feta app: 4/5, delicious feta and generous with honey however it only comes with a small amount of bread.

I wish the cheese was less overpowering and it maybe had a creative sauce to break up the flavor of the cheese. Bun was dry. Fries kind of tasted like chicken to me? Not a huge fan of them but my friends loved them.

We currently get AlFreshCo for one meal per week, and it's nice to look forward to an interesting, local, seasonal, meat-free dish every week. Initially we were thinking we'd use it for a weekday lunch, but we find even with most of the prep done for you that some of the dishes take a while to cook, so tend to save it for a dinner instead (some of the time estimates are pretty accurate, others are definitely low-balled in our experience). There are 4 recipes to choose from each week, and we like the international bent of the meals- it's fun to have the opportunity to make and eat things you don't regularly see, like koshari or an African peanut stew, and even the more common food items (noodles, dal) are still nice to have. We've been generally pretty happy at the end result- it's all been pretty solid, nothing that has made our jaws drop or anything but still nice for what it is. It's also appealing to cut down on our carbon footprint, not only in the process (less packaging, bike delivery) but in the food itself (locally sourced, no meat). Would recommend.

A TGIFriday ghost kitchen run by Door Dash. Four stars is a bit generous, but I'll give credit…read morewhere it's due for managing to keep boneless chicken bites crispy after a grueling delivery route. For the selfless benefit of you, dear reader, we sampled a variety of sauces on our boneless wings. -The buffalo boneless wings arrived pretty dry, but where I could find little puddles of flavor, it was good and had some heat (not too spicy!). Recommended, but it is *critical* that you order extra buff sauce. -"Nashville" hot chicken, definitely nothing resembling Nashville hot. I'm not a snob, I can appreciate a lot of New England interpretations of Nashville hot! But this was sort of a spicy, vaguely BBQ flavored rub. Pass. -Honey mustard boneless wings were the most surprising of all. Picture honey mustard sauce: kind of mustard-y looking, right? Not here! Yet this nondescript glaze did capture the flavors of honey mustard, so I cannot imagine what's going on behind the scenes. While the food arrived nowhere near hot, the industrial kitchen masterminds behind this shop did manage to develop a formula for keeping the chicken pretty crispy. Ditto with the onion rings! The fries, on the other hand, arrived a sad soggy mess. I'd say skip the fries, but you're for some reason forced to select fries and a fountain drink with a lot of the orders. You should still supplement with onion rings.
