Boston is a great city , we head there once or twice a year for just a quick overnight trip. We go for the food and fun. As many times as we have been there, we always have a great time and find something new to check out.
If I'm ever remotely near a location I will be eating there. Some of the stuff they pull out of that oven... o m g Oh and I don't get caught up in which is best, just which I can put in my belly!
I apologize in advance, but since this has turned into somewhat of a "Northern food" thread, and doughnuts have even been mentioned... All through Robert B. Parker's Spencer novel series, he talked often about stopping at Dunkin Doughnuts and getting corn muffins, sometimes sharing with his somewhat-uppity girlfriend. Spencer was based in Boston roughly in the 70s-90s, and since there seem to be quite a few Northeastern folks here - do the Dunkins up there still serve corn muffins? None of the Dunkin folks I've asked down here have ever heard of that, but I don't know if they just aren't senior enough to remember or if they were never served down here at all. They look at me like I'm crazy for asking, and to me it does seem strange that a doughnut shop would serve what was sometimes considered (generally) to be food of the less fortunate, although I sure do love good cornbread! Again, I'm sorry to interrupt the thread, if only slightly, but I've wondered about this for years and it seemed like some of y'all might shed some light on this. Thanks for your patience, either way!
Even if you walk into a DD and find them on the shelf they will not be on the menu with a price. Plus, don't bother telling anybody because they won't believe you, unless they were with you.
Huh, so they do exist! Thanks for your reply! Is that just a Massachusetts thing, or a New England thing? From the silence on my question I assumed nobody else had heard of it either. I thought maybe it was just another one of Parker’s idiosyncrasies.
