Devra First - Hello, people. Welcome to the 11/11 chat.

Devra First - What's going on? What dish can't you get enough of these days?

I wonder if there is any good polynesian cuisine in town? What about Tibetan food?

11:03

Devra First - Hmm. Good Polynesian. Well, um, the Hong Kong? Kowloon? How about tiki drinks? Check out LUPEC's event Saturday.

11:04

Devra First - As for Tibetan, try Martsa on Elm in Somerville.

Hello Devra! I can't get enough of the Kobe burger at the Local in Newton...delicious! Have you checked that place out?

11:05

Devra First - Not for a while. What makes the burger great?

Hello Devra - Do you have any recommendations for Tapas restaurants in the Back Bay/South End/Brookline area? There are several options, but it's hard to choose!

11:06

Devra First - I like Estragon and Toro in the South End and Taberna de Haro in Brookline. All have their merits. What kind of scene are you looking for?

where can I get a good shawarma? ever since Ararat in Watertown closed I've been at a loss

11:07

Devra First - There's a lamb shwarma sandwich at Sofra that's delicious!

We're open, mostly just want to try the food, it doesn't have to be a big scene.

11:08

Devra First - Toro can be louder and busier. I think it's fun, but I know some people who find it too much. The food is really good at all three places, with Estragon and Taberna de Haro being mellower experiences. I don't think you can go wrong.

Burger is unfussy, so you really get the taste of the meat

Hi Devra -- nice article (by Debra) on H-Mart in today's Section G, although I don't think that H-Mart needs the added traffic from positive press. :-) My wife and I went to H-Mart a few weeks ago, and it is a great place. There are some prices that seem really good.

11:09

Devra First - Glad you enjoyed it! I'll let her know.

So after asking around we heard Sage is not coming back. (They've had a renovations sign up that said they would be back Oct. 20) Any idea what happened and what will happen with that space?

11:11

Devra First - I don't know what is happening with the space. First they said they were opening a second, more casual space, then they closed. I'm hoping they'll reopen in the same space with that more casual concept. I really liked that food and was sad to see it close.

11:11

Devra First - Maybe Susi will reopen in the North End... ? Your guess is as good as mine.
