Boston - Barbara Lynch
The reigning culinary god of Beantown has three restaurants, her own cooking school, an artisan grocery, a successful catering business, and a battery of awards for each. In her spare time, she likes to establish world peace and work on energy policy (just kidding).
No. 9 Park – $$$ - Set in a historic townhouse in Boston`s richest neighborhood, everything about this restaurant screams money, right down to the sophisticated French fare and lengthy wine list. Those who can afford it feast on items like roast poussin with escargot and Brussels sprouts.
Estimated Bill: $259.31
The Butcher Shop – $$ - A welcome step down from the lofty prices of No. 9 Park, you`d hardly know this wasn't the flagship from the sophisticated menu here; dishes like crispy sweetbreads with quince-almond chutney keep this one of the best values on the east coast.
Estimated Bill: $108.94
