Last-Minute Food Gifts Around Boston | Eater Boston
"This family-run store has been nurturing Boston food lovers since 1939, with some notable followers including Julia Child, who sourced ingredients here for her PBS show. Though it still preserves part of its identity as a butcher shop that offers premium cuts of beef, lamb, and poultry, its selection of fine foods has expanded to include artisan cheeses, canned goods, and flavored salts. Its original Kirkland Street location reopened in 2005 after having burned to the ground in 1992; it also has a second location in Beacon Hill." - Valerie Li Stack
