From restaurant openings to a celebration of National Chicken Wing Day, here’s a look back at the weekend’s hautest food happenings in Boston.
Cambridge’s Kendall Square has become home to the first Hunanese concept in greater Boston thanks to this weekend’s opening of Sumiao Hunan Kitchen. The woman owned business brought to us by Sumiao Chen, who studied at Le Cordon Bleu and is also a scientist from Xiangtan, Hunan, China. Menu highlights include a section dedicated to Gai Fan, a popular lunch selection that combines proteins and vegetables over a bed of rice as well as dishes like Grandma’s Pork with pork belly, green cayenne pepper and garlic leaves and Silver Fish served crispy with green and red chili. Be sure to keep an eye out for the five-course prix fixe dinner menu that can be customized to your preferences.
