Boston Beer Works ROCKS!!!

So anytime Bryan and I go to Boston - either for the Sox or Bruins - we like to eat at Boston Beer Works if we're eating up there. There's one on Canal St by the Garden and one just outside of Fenway... I want to call it causeway, but I know that's the street that runs in front of the Garden. But if you're in the area and ask, someone should be able to point you to it if you can't follow the great smells and the lines of people around games.

So we watched the Bruins lose to the Red Wings on Saturday, but I have to tell you - it was awesome to see such a good team. And some of the players are of legendary proportions. I mean, come on, Chelios???

But after the game we went to Boston Beer Works to have some food, get our money's worth for parking, and to avoid the congestion of everyone leaving the area at once. Be forewarned, though, Boston Beer Works has employees outside checking IDs and stamping your hand around game time to make it easier for the waitstaff. If you're in with a stamp, you can be served alcohol.

Bryan always gets the beer basted steak tips and I don't think he's ever left hungry - or anything less than stuffed for that matter. I used to get the meatloaf all the time, and they have some DARNED good meatloaf. *If you're on the Cape, try the Collucci Bros. I should post on them sometime soon, too.* But then I found the specials. Last time we went to a Bruins game, we didn't realize we had luxury box tickets which include all the food you can eat there, so we went to BBW first and I got the Shark Schnitzel which was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I love shark and this dish did NOT disappoint.

This time there were several specials that looked good - the theme was Carnivale and Mardi Gras, but there's a Rajun Cajun entree on their regular menu that was just calling my name. It's shrimp, chicken, tasso ham, peppers and some other veggies I think in an AWESOME spicy cajun sauce and it's served with a pretty scoop of jasmine rice. UNBELIEVABLE. Most 'spicy' dishes barely register as spicy for me, but this had my nose running all night - in a good way. I actually would have liked more rice to soak up all the delicious sauce that came with the meal, but luckily I had leftovers and I'm planning to make some rice to go with dinner tonight and have some leftover rice to go with the leftovers from BBW to make an unbelievable lunch for work tomorrow. The loaded baked potato soup from Super Bowl (Defeat) Sunday will be there for lunch on Weds - Fri, reminding me of the holy offensive line, the missed FG opportunity to tie the game, and the missed interception opportunity in the 4th quarter.

So if you're anywhere near the 4 locations of Boston Beer Works (the Garden, Fenway, Logan Airport, and one in Salem, MA), stop in and enjoy some great food. *and if you know me, it would be great if you could bring me some food to go!*
