Why Is Quincy Market’s Food So Bad? | Eater Boston

"I remember Quincy Market as a once-great food center that reopened in 1976 with original tenants from the wholesale Boston food market, no chains, and fresh, original dishes, but over the decades it has declined into a tourist-focused, captive-audience food hall where cramped booths, limited prep and refrigeration, rising rents, landlord-tenant mistrust, and operator complacency incentivize 'fast and cheap' food; that decline was crystallized recently when two Houston tourists ordered a cold lobster roll with crawfish tails tucked inside, prompting outrage and an apology and confirming many locals' belief that the market now flops." - Erika Adams
