I LOVE CPK RED VELVET CAKE. I will go out of my way to get it. Trust me, it does not taste like vanilla cake. What the heck are you smoking? I have tasted Red Velv at many bakeries. CPK has one of the best. The icing and filling is key. I am trying to find the bakery that makes it……they won’t tell.

My husband and I have no aversion to paying for good food with decent portions. And even if theses items are lacking, good and courteous service still has some value. However, we found this restaurant to be lacking in ALL of the above. A grumpy young man waited on us, the three paninis took over 20 minutes to prepare and were served with a sald straight out of the bag with just the tiniest hint of dressing. As we left, we joked that now we can go get lunch since we’d had the appetizer. Never again willl we darken their doorway.

Thank you Michelle for your time and effort. I am glad that a good job and family are what’s keeping you from this blog. I will still be a regular visitor to thisisframingham.

Thanks again!

Comment on Abdow’s Big Boy site by Brian

Abdow’s was a CT& MA franchise outfit stemming from the original Bob’s Big Boy. There were other regional specific names placed before the all important “Big Boy” moniker.

When I visited Met Bar and Grill, service was extremely slow, but food was good. And at this place, it’s not the kind of slow service that will make someone lose appetite (at least in my case). I had bacon wrapped something and it was satisfactory. Our waitress too continuously tried tempting us with dessert too; which annoyed us a bit.

I can’t imagine chickens being awful to have as neighbors! I have known Sweet Meadow Farm products for over a decade, and Al and Patty have been wonderful and nice. Their barn cat is a handsome boy who is so affectionate and will follow you as you say hi to the chickens, goats, and lamb. It’s a wonderful place to visit and get hay and eggs from!

I think that it is great that Market Basket hires teenagers in high school, whether people agree or not to their own personal sense of style, having a job while you’re young gives them more oppertunities in the future and teaches them responsibility.

Although these posts are old and the odds that anyone might read mine are slim, let me say that Market Basket is cheaper on a good selection of products, but like ALL stores, they aren’t on everything. It’s impossible to be the lowest at everything. People shop at Market Basket for the service, selection and overall presentation of the company from the appearance of the aisles, floors, product and it’s employees, most of which are high schoolers who really don’t care for wearing white shirts, ties, or having a lack of facial hair and being allowed to have piercings(male) or multiple piercings(female) to go along with most everything else. Still, the stores with managers who are serious about their position make it a point to bring in and bring out the best help they can find in the area and hope that the department managers and full-time associates can meld the part-timers to be better people.
The stores are regularly inspected by health inspectors and contrary to popular belief, Milk is not left on pallets in room temperature rooms. They are brought into coolers that have temperatures ranging from 28- 35 degrees and are kept that way until they are brought out into the aisles. The aisles are well refrigerated as most of you can attest when you walk in on a warm day, to maintain the quality of the dairy, deli and meat products.
I can’t say how each store is compared to the next, since I haven’t been into all 64(as of May 2010), but I can tell you just how important the company takes care of it’s associates and how highly they value each and every person who shops there.
