The Ultimate Craigie Experience!

Last weekend we packed up a rental car with Chester in hand and jumped into traffic heading north!  Norton, Mass here we come!  After driving straight through two states (which is amazing in itself (CT & RI) we arrived at the Anderson's in about 5 hours and were off straight to Cambridge for dinner.

Dinner on Friday is hard to explain as anything but the Ultimate Craigie Experience.......  Now you might ask what does that mean...  To start Chris had gotten some recommendations for foodie dinners out in the Boston/Cambridge area and so we booked a table for 4 at 9:30pm on Friday night for Craigie on the Main. Near MIT, we ventured in at 930 and sat for a dinner experience that we never expected!

As a table, we decided to get the 10 course tasting menu, which Chef Tom Maws creates on the fly each time a table orders it.  the 1st few courses consisted of primarily seafood (squid noodles, sashimi, soft shell crab, and a delicious stripped bass tail).

After:


The next dishes included pork belly, lamb three ways (including the tongue) and bone marrow:



All delicious!!!!  Dessert was the last dishes and we ended dinner around 1am....  so almost 4 hours later, we were stuffed, happy, and ready for a great night's sleep.

We can now say we understand what the Ultimate Craigie Experience is.  Thanks Chef Tom Maws!
