"Over at Strip-T’s (93 School St., Watertown), talented couple Peter and Mareena McKenzie — both alums of Shepard in Cambridge and a lot of other local spots, including Strip-T’s defunct sibling, Ribelle — are now in the kitchen, with Peter as chef and Mareena as pastry chef. Look out for new dishes such as the Octo-Dog (a grilled octopus sandwich), the Mother and Daughter sandwich (it’s got fried chicken and an egg yolk sauce), daily pie specials, doughnuts, and more." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
