Ah 2014- a year full of family, friends and of course binge eating. My favorite thing to look at every year is Boston Magazines Ranked Best Restaurants and Food. And while I never get to as many new places as I would like to (mostly because I have food loyalty like no one will ever understand), I thought I would create my own best of the best for 2014. I took a look through my old posts to remind myself of restaurants I have tried, and of course had some stand outs in my head of places I didn't get a chance to write about. Anyway- here it is- my absolute FAVS of 2014.
