First stop on the 2024 Flavor Fest Tour is, of course, my hometown of Boston. As many know, Boston boasts a rich culinary landscape, blending historic New England charm with modern gastronomic innovation. The city's history as a bustling port (1 if by Land, 2 if by Sea, #amiright), has shaped its diverse food culture, making it a haven for seafood lovers, especially with its world-famous clam 'chowdah'. The city continues to evolve and shift to changing tastes, needs, embracing a wider range of diverse culinary influences, and emphasis on market-hall style eating experiences. Like many cities on the East Coast, it blends old with new that honors history without preventing cultural change. Today, I'll be checking out PLNT Burger's new Boston location (348 Harrison Ave), and getting a little peek behind the curtain of what goes into opening a new location for a growing brand. Surprising to no one, I LOVE PLNT Burger's ethos, emphasis on planet and community, in harmony with truly mouth-watering flavor combinations. More to come from Co-Founders Christopher Treloar and Jonah Goldman, as we hang out this afternoon! Also, if you'd like to follow along on the road trip, Andy Freivogel has given me the keys to the Science On Call: Tech Support for Restaurants Instagram account (😮): https://lnkd.in/gmraQ34U #flavorfest2024 #scienceclub #restauranttech #dinersdriveinsanddives #wickedlocal #chickensummer
