SAMPLING THE FOOD AT THE BIG E 2021

JOE Thursday, September 30, 2021

 

Taco bites from Chompers

Pumpkin beer from Smuttynose

Baked potato from Some House Grill

Blueberry Del's lemonade

The Big E Cream Puff
The Big E is back and tastier than ever. The annual September festival in West Springfield was cancelled last year because of Covid-19 leaving everyone having to wait to satisfy their cravings for favorites like deep-fried cheesecake and those amazing cream puffs. Guests are being asked to wear masks indoors this year and there is plenty of sanitizer to go around. Other than that, it's pretty much the same Big E we've all grown to love over the years.

It's been two years since I enjoyed The Big E's cream puff. I scarfed one down as soon as I arrived, and brought two home. New this year is a pumpkin cream puff which is just as yummy as the original. The average price for beer is a rather steep $11 this year, but I managed to find some Smuttynose Pumpkin in the New Hampshire building for $7. I enjoyed my usual baked potato with all of the fixins from the Connecticut building and a blueberry Del's from the Rhode Island building. I also tried some amazing fried balls of deliciousness from the Chomper's food truck, which is based out of Connecticut. They are amazing!

Welcome back to the Big E! I don't know how we survived without it.

BLOOMS, BREWS & BBQ AT WESTON NURSERIES IN HOPKINTON

JOE Saturday, September 18, 2021

BBQ from PJ's Smoke N Grill

Palagi's Ice Cream Truck

Fall festivals are back as more and more people get the Covid-19 vaccine. Today, Weston Nurseries held their Blooms, Brews and BBQ festival. The event was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. This year, people could get in by showing their vaccination card. It was all for a good cause with profits going to the Jimmy Fund.

PJ's Smoke N Grill of Medway was one of the restaurants taking part. I LOVED their mac n cheese and Mexican street corn. I enjoyed a raspberry seltzer from Hopkinton's own Start Line brewery along with it. For dessert, I hit up the Palagi Brothers ice cream truck. It's my favorite ice cream truck in Massachusetts because they have hard ice cream!
