Tremont 647 - Boston, MA permalink

Official rating: 80 + 3 friendly points = 83

With perhaps the most boring name of any restaurant I’ve ever been to, Tremont 647, located @ 647 Tremont St, is a yuppie American bistro founded by some dude named Andy Husbands. It’s pretty tasty, kinda trendy, decently priced, and not too snooty that they wouldn’t let sandals in.

We waltzed in on a Saturday night, and it was pretty crowded, but we scored two seats at the bar. We got a martini and a gimlet, and for some reason, I got a short martini glass. We ordered the spicy candied nuts and thai shrimp fritters for apps. The shrimp tasted and felt more like little sausages, but were delicious. For entrees, we got the steak and the turkey meatloaf panini. The steak was decent, and truffled tater tots were on the side. While they’re no match for Grill 23’s truffled tots, they were smooth. The grilled broccolini was tasty, too. The panini was really sweet, and a good effort, just not quite there.

The bartender and hosts were cool, which is relatively important for such a small bistro. They were gracious and welcoming, and are the main reason I’d consider going back as opposed to just being one and done with the 647.

Cameras get the dirt on Rogers’ hand

pootergateDetroit - In the first inning of Game 2, St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa spotted some crud on Tigers P Kenny Rogers’ hand, and alerted the umpires, thinking Rogers may be using it to cheat. “It wasn’t dirt, it was actually some dog poo from when I was playing with my golden retriever, Sparky. I would never intentionally use dog poo to cheat,” Rogers responded. It appears no further action or suspension will take place.

Celebrities turn out for Fall Classic

Detroit - Actually, it was just Bob Seger, some American Idol chick, and a few old Detroit Tigers players. That’s about as celebrified as Detroit gets. Not many superstars like to hobnob around tire fires.

Rogers rewriting his legacy

Detroit - After writing over 500 pages in a draft copy of his legacy, Detroit P Kenny Rogers says he’s “putting it in the shredder” and starting over on the story of his baseball career. “I wrote every day last winter, but I used third person, and I don’t like it. I’m re-doing the whole thing first person,” the pitcher/writer said.

I gave the Tigers a pre-game speech before Game 2 and told them that if they went down 0-2, most of their families wouldn’t survive the night. They got the message. Hey, a little tough love never hurt anyone.
