February 6th 2016: Meals in West Boylston, Burlington and Malden

We started out today with some breakfast at Country Kettle, a small but cosy diner in West Boylston.

I got the Steakhouse Benedict (2 poached eggs, shaved sirloin steak on top of crispy hash browns and topped with Hollandaise sauce, served with choice of toast),

While my other half got the Blueberry Cobbler French Toast (Freshly baked Blueberry Cobbler bread dipped in butter and grilled).

My dish was a delicious combination of steak, Hash browns, egg and hollandaise sauce, but the today tasted a little weird. Overall, I actually like this place better than most diners I have been to in the Area.

Our next meal was at the Burton's Grill, an upscale chain restaurant in Burlington.

We got the Crab Bisque (crab meat, sherry, old bay seasoning)

and the Creole Shrimp (crispy grits, zesty cream sauce).

Pretty good stuff actually.

Next, while at the Burlington Mall, we decided to check out Bobby's Burger Palace, a pretty hip fast food place where you can add potato chips to your burger to crunchify it,

of which we got the L.A. (Avocado relish, watercress, cheddar cheese, tomato).

 Not bad, but nothing special really.

Dinner was with family at Jack's Ristorante, a small Italian restaurant in Malden. By the time we started eating, the place was already full of people, mostly elderly.

For food, we got the Clams Casino (Fresh shucked clams with roasted peppers, garlic and crackers. Topped with bacon and baked to perfection served with lemon and cocktail sauce),

 the Seafood Scampi (fresh calamari, Ipswich mussels, littleneck clams and shrimp, saute them in
white wine, garlic sauce and serve over linguini)

and the Veal Braccalitini (Tender veal medallions rolled with sweet cappacola and mozzarella cheese and baked to perfection with fresh mushrooms and Marsala wine),

which came with an Italian Wedding Soup.

The soup was a little bland, but otherwise everything else was pretty good, especially the veal with its cheese and marsala sauce.

The tiramisu unfortunately was just okay.

Overall though, I did not think this place was not that special, with nothing really different on the menu from other Italian places.
