I had the opportunity to attend a blogger dinner at 5 Napkins Burger in Boston with some local bloggers and social media personalities from the Boston area. 

To be honest, I had only been to 5 Napkins one time, at the bar and only had the famous 5 napkin burger. But on this night I had the chance to try new items and dine in a very upscale environment. 

I was very impressed with the full service experience that gave me the chance to stray away from the burger. But the Burger is still a must, I suggest ordering one for the table as a side dish. Really!! Trust me on that!! 

 I had the Blacken Pan Seared Mahi Mahi with Mexican Corn Salad, Chipotle Cream and Grilled Asparagus for dinner. The Mahi Hani was cooked to perfection and had a great blend of flavors. The Mexican Corn Salad & Asparagus added color and texture to the dish.

 

Other Menu Items featured at the table. 

EDAMAME HUMMUS 9.50 miso - tahini, sunflower seeds, sprouts & warm flatbread , 

STACK OF THICK CUT PANKO ONION RINGS 7.50 asiago fondue. 

CRISPY CALAMARI "RHODE ISLAND STYLE" 11.75 vinegar peppers, parsley & lemon. 

PESTO FLATBREAD 9.00 oven-dried tomatoes, pesto & cheese 

Below is the 5 Napkin Burger of the month for February 2015

Boston Remembers Robin Williams 

This week as you know the world lost the great man, actor, and comedian Robin Williams. We may never understand what brought Robin to take is own life, but his life touched all of us and he will be remembered always.

On Tuesday Bostonian's showed up at the site of his famous scene from the movie Good Will Hunting and paid respect. 

The chalk messages may have washed away in the rain on Wednesday but Robin Williams will never be forgotten by the people of Boston.

Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs?

I often see posts about the Montreal Canadiens, but do you know why they are called the Habs? The nickname "Habs" is short for "les habitants," which was the informal name given to the original settlers of New France in the 17th century.

The Montreal Canadiens, established in 1909, were marketed as a French-Canadian hockey team. According to NHL.COM, Tex Rickard, owner of Madison Square Garden, was the first to refer to the team as "the Habs." Rickard claimed that the "H" on the Canadiens jersey stood for "Habitants," but in reality, it stands for Club de Hockey.

Despite the history, all we care about in Boston is the Bruins beating the Canadiens! Tonight is game 5 of round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! #GoBruins
