"On the Paul Revere Heritage Site in Canton, Massachusetts, Northern Spy is not just a restaurant, it’s a living history museum for food geeks. Co-owner, executive chef, and food historian Marc Sheehan interprets many New England traditions, including anadama bread and Boston brown bread. Sheehan dials back the sweetness of his steamed brown bread and serves it with smoked bluefin pate, crème fraîche, and pickled onions — it’s based on the combo of smoked salmon and cinnamon-raisin bagels, which he had “a weird thing for” as a kid and has turned into a professional signature." - Adam H. Callaghan
