"One week ago, Eater published a story about two Houston tourists who walked into Quincy Market and ordered a cold lobster roll with crawfish tails tucked inside. In the aftermath of the initial story, there was outrage. There was an apology. But for many Bostonians, a Quincy Market food vendor falling short was not a surprise. The sordid tale confirmed what many residents already think: When it comes to the food, Quincy Market flops. The market’s owners, on the other hand, have a different view: “With millions of visitors passing through Faneuil Hall each year, it is inevitable that there will be a few patrons who are not satisfied with the selection of vendors or their offerings, as with any major attraction,” a spokesperson tells Eater. In last weekend’s newsletter, Eater asked readers to submit their theories on why and how Quincy Market became the avoid-at-all-costs food hall that it is today. Readers responded at length." - Erika Adams
