"Your classmates from the South are going to endlessly complain that there’s no good barbecue in Boston. Let them do it - complaining about poor imitations of your native food is a crucial part of forging your identify in college. But while they’re busy ranting about hush puppies, head to Sweet Cheeks on Boylston. It’s a great casual spot for getting your fingers really messy and downing some ribs. Believe it or not, the big honey biscuits are actually the best thing on the menu, so don’t miss out on a bucket of those." - dan secatore
