A Boston Food Diary was founded in 2008 with a simple goal-to make a great meal last longer.  Haven't we all had those incredible meals where you just don't want it to end?  The flavors so perfectly combined, the textures wonderfully complimentary, and your soul is satisfied.  I believe that this feeling can come from any number of different types of meals, from the most gourmet to a hearty cheeseburger, or even just a satisfying piece of chocolate.  Here at A Boston Food Diary we celebrate each and every bite, yearn to understand the creativity behind it all, and even attempt our own creations.  Please join us for a journey through the culinary world.
