So the last two places that I ate at during my trip to Boston were Dick’s Last Resort and Dunkin Donuts. I’m actually a little disappointed in myself…
Deck on Dick’s Last Resort
When the entire premise of the restaurant is to be abused by the wait staff, the expectations going in are pretty low. To miss, well, that’s just inexcusable. Not only was the food not anything to write about (I’ve had better ribs at McDonald’s and better wings out of the freezer), but the staff couldn’t even live up to the name. Really, if I’m not going to get good food, at least give me the ambiance that I’m expecting. The only thing that made everything palatable was the ever –reliable Sam Adams Lager and getting to know my new colleagues.
Final Verdict: 1 Star (and that’s only because they served Sam Adams)
Deck on Dunkin’ Donuts
Alright, so on the last day of the trip, I had to go to Dunkin’ Donuts (when in Rome…) I keep hearing about how the coffee is great and the donuts are amazing. I saddled up and ordered a Large Black coffee and a Boston Crème donut. Seemed about right. I opened the coffee, added a couple Splenda like I always do with any coffee, took a sip, and…..damn… I felt like Dunkin’ Donuts forgot to put coffee in the coffee. I’ve had instant coffee that had more kick (though sadly it’s the best cup of coffee I’ve had today…Starbucks, save me!!). So, I moved on to the donut, and took a bite. Then another. It wasn’t until the third bite that I actually got some crème (and I don’t take dainty little bites). I have seriously reduced my “sweets” in take as I’m trying to get in shape for my wedding. So, when I splurge, I want to be rewarded, not disappointed. Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll be heading back any time soon.
Final Verdict: 1 Star
