• Devra First finds the food at House Of Blues better than it needs to be and gives it two stars. The “knockoff” Cajun and Creole fare may not be authentic, but it’s perfectly pleasant, and that’s as much as you can ask for in a chain concert hall. [Globe]
• Cheap Eats hits up Zing Pizza. The combination of pizza and roti is an odd one, but it works! [Globe]
• Robert Nadeau quite likes Newton’s The Local. The fried calamari is truly unique (no small feat) thanks to a special herb blend, and simple, local dishes like the pizza-esque “Flatbread Thing” are disarmingly good. [Phoenix]
• On The Cheap loves Dorchester’s King Do Bánh Mì where the excellent house-made baguette is what makes the meal. [Phoenix]
• Mat Schaffer slaps a C on Bond. The space is beautiful, but the food is wildly overpriced and just not that good. [Herald]
