This week's winners:
Q Restaurant Preview Party
Forays of a Finance Foodie
The Finance Foodie gives us a glimpse of Q Restaurant (formerly Little Q Hot Pot) with a recap of the preview party, where the mai tai was "waaay aggressively strong" and the sushi was "pretty good but very standard." The hot pots, though, are "THE (affordable) way to go for warming up those chilly winter nights."
Boston Bloggers Who Brunch: East Coast Grill
Fun and Fearless in Beantown
East Coast Grill is pretty much my favorite restaurant ever, so I was excited (ok, a bit jealous) to see all the mouth-watering recaps of a recent blogger brunch held there. Fun and Fearless has a wonderful recap with photos that are totally making me drool all over my keyboard.
New Find: Rami's, Coolidge Corner, Brookline
Katie ~ The Small Boston Kitchen
"It's rare when you stumble upon a Boston restaurant with a huge cult following that you've never heard of and it's somewhat of an exhilarating experience when it happens," writes Katie. "I hope I'm not throwing my "street cred" out the window when I embarrassingly admit that I've walked by Rami's in Coolidge Corner hundreds, heck, thousands of times and had yet to venture in. Shame on me and lesson learned. If a place has been around for 20+ years, they're probably worth checking out."
Chez Henri, s’il vous plaĆ®t
Emily O'Donnell ~ A Cambridge Story
One look at that chorizo and mojito and I was sold. "Chez Henri is a Cambridge favorite for Cuban food and many of the dishes incorporate a French twist," writes Emily. "The dining room prices are a bit steep but the bar is the perfect place for a cozy date night or evening out with friends!"
Jacky's Table
Katie ~ Happy Hour Honeys
"Oh, Jacky's Table. I so wanted to like you," writes Katie. "I know it's not your fault that you're not living up to the funky French bistro I wanted you to be." Ah, the disappointment of excitedly watching a restaurant get ready to open...and then it's nowhere near as awesome as you'd hoped. Sigh.

This week's winners:
Clover (sans wheels) – First Look
Penny Cherubino ~ BostonZest
You may have heard of Clover Food Lab, which has been operating two popular trucks near MIT and South Station for awhile. Well, they just opened up their first brick-and-mortar location, and BostonZest has a video sneak peek!
Mike & Patty's | Breakfast Sandwich Award | Bacon & Egg, Fancy
Meesh and Jacki ~ Just Add Cheese
"I can’t believe it has taken me this long to write a post on Mike & Patty’s," writes Jacki. "They are quite literally the best breakfast sandwich place EVER."
Taiwanese Food in Allston (Jo Jo Taipei)
Christine Li ~ More Than Just Dim Sum
Christine's review explores a variety of dishes at Jo Jo Tapei, a "really good Taiwanese restaurant." Pig kidneys, crabs, and a really interesting dessert, oh my!
New on Newbury: The Met Back Bay
Katie ~ The Small Boston Kitchen
"Anytime a restaurant goes out leaving an empty gap, I can't help but get excited about what could be going in next," writes Katie. This location of the Metropolitan Club/Met Bar and Grill recently took over the old Newbury St. Joe's American. Despite a disappointing meal at another Met location, Katie decided to give the new one a try, and it fared better.
The Haven
Christine Liu ~ The Discreet Hedonist
christine's haiku makes
this "shell of seasoned meat" sound
appetizing...ish
