Foodie Fanatics

So our friends the Draschils may possibly be the most fanatical foodies I have ever met. They've been in Boston for  2 months and they've already discovered more amazing places to eat than we have in 2 years. They actually check out foodie movies from the library and research places to eat! (true story.) They also know all the little joints that have been featured on the food network and make it a point to eat there.  If you ever need advice on cool places to eat, ask the Draschils, you can't go wrong.

Case in point, last weekend we were hanging out at the Boston children's museaum and they were like, "Oh there's this super famous bakery just around the corner with the most amazing sticky buns ever!" (apparently the sticky buns won some food war thing on some foodie channel) Anyway, we go to the children's museum all the time and I never knew that little gem of a bakery was just around the corner! Sadly they were out of their signature sticky buns, but we did load up on tons of other yummy desserts and devoured them before I could even take a picture. They were that good.

After dessert we decided we should probably have dinner, so they led us to this amazing food truck called Roxy's with gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches that are out of this world!

Everyone was taking pictures by the truck (apparently it's going to be featured on a food network series soon) So we jumped in and got some pictures too. 

The sandwiches came out piping hot and they did not disappoint. 
Best grilled cheese I've eaten In. My. Life.


It was a very cool "Boston Moment" to be on some random street on the west side of BU, eating gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches from a famous hipster foodie truck, and we owe it all to our fanatic foodie friends. Thanks guys!

I've heard about this grilled cheese food truck! I saw them on either the today show or GMA...and I know they're on a series on the food network! Looks way yummy! I love how you love food so much...only problem is it's no help to my constant weird pregnancy cravings! haha. Looks like it was lots of fun though! I don't think I can ever pass up a good bakery!!

How can you be famous for your sticky buns and run out? No bueno.
Oh and I'm such a sucker for grilled cheese. Those things look like heaven! Is that kalamata olives and basil? Spinach? Whatever it is, it looks good. They all look good.
We have some foodie friends like that, too, and find them also to be an excellent source of recipes, so you might want to check on that. ;)

YUMMO! They need to come out to Chicago so they can teach Kev and I where to find all the good eats! Oh...and I'm totally jealous right now!

Those sound like our kind of friends! Daniel especially loves discovering hidden food gems in new cities. We might need to go back to Boston just to find that grilled cheese truck.

I love the family picture of you guys at the end - your kids are going to look at that someday and know how cool their parents were to take them out adventuring in Boston.
