"With a little luck, you’ll hit up Alcove when the Lovejoy Wharf seafood- and vegetable-focused restaurant offers its maitake mushroom dish. Since Alcove opened in late 2018, this vegan entree has frequently replaced typical meat-based dishes, with nary a complaint from carnivores. Chef Brian Paszko highlights the meaty texture of the maitake — also known as hen-of-the-woods mushrooms — by pairing them with polenta, baby turnips, and black garlic." - Nathan Tavares
