A nod to Biggie in their dining room.

Dave's #2.
Dave's Hot Chicken has opened its latest New England location in Worcester, Massachusetts. I showed up just after they opened their doors for the first time today, and I was far from alone. Many people lined up for a taste of some of the best fried chicken around. Customers are greeted with a bright and colorful street art vibe in their dining room. Their sweet and crispy chicken is among the best around. I love their sliders with cole slaw, pickles and cheese. Choose how spicy you want your chicken from zero to reaper, which customers have to sign a waiver for because it's so spicy. Dave's is also vegetarian friendly with fried cauliflower sliders. Dave's is opening a bunch of new restaurants soon including in Newington, CT and Boylston Street in Boston.

SEVERAL UNO PIZZERIA AND GRILLE RESTAURANTS CLOSE


This Uno in Bellingham, MA is still open.

If you haven't been to Uno Pizzeria and Grille in awhile, now would be a great time to give them your business. The local chain best known for its Chicago-style deep dish pizza has closed a bunch of locations - places that were open for decades. Their Wrentham location that's in Wrentham Village is now closed. Their Framingham location also shuttered recently. Restaurants in Leominster, Millbury and Westborough locations also shut down this year, along with one in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Only 7 locations remain in Massachusetts according to their website.

It's sad to see what's happening to this longtime local chain. Inflation continues to wage war on the restaurant industry, along with skyrocketing leases and post-Covid recovery. People just can't afford to go out as much as they used to.
