9 Standout Restaurants Serving Quintessential Boston Fare | Eater

"Like a salad bar, but better, BE is a fast-casual pasta bar that opened in Brookline earlier this year. Here you can pick your favorite pasta shape, a sauce — like pink vodka or basil pesto — and add toppings like sausage,eggplant, and grated Parmesan. It’s all shaken together in a to-go cup in front of you. For those who can’t be bothered to customize, there are classic pasta combinations on the menu including chicken and broccoli alfredo or macaroni and cheese, as well as an assortment of salads and sandwiches. Add a can of Pepsi to your order and call it supper." - Molly McDonough
