#SundayFunday – The Boss of Drenched Burritos

Boss of Drenched Burritos from El Patron in Worcester, MA

Friday nights are great, except if you go out to eat and the place you pick is El Patron. With a line wrapped around Harding Street, Friday night dinner dates at El Patron are impossible, but that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it makes El Patron the boss of #SundayFunday.

Dish out a whopping $3.50 for a tamale to start your quest on an authentic journey of Mexican cuisine and its distinct history of cooking knowhow, and you’ll end the night speaking Spanish and asking for more tamales, por favor. Between the molcajete – the handcrafted guacamole bowls – the wall decor made from indigenous paints and copper to the shot glasses adorned with traditional Mexican leather, you know you’re in the right place for Mexican cuisine. But above all, stands the mighty drenched burrito. A burrito so massive, you need a fork and knife to eat it.

This boss favorite is a flour tortilla filled with rice, beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese and pico de gallo, “drenched” in salsa verde and topped with melted cheese. This great beast can be filled with a meat of your choice: adobada (pork marinated in a red chili sauce), carne asada (grilled steak), carnitas (slow cooked pulled pork), chicken chorizo (chicken sausage), veggies or shredded chicken. With the drenched burrito weighing in close to a pound, it is the ultimate shareable dish for two people on any given Sunday. Add a shot of Tequila and make it an official #SundayFunday destination.

#SundayFunday – Eat at Jumbo’s. Enough Said.

Eating wings during the Super Bowl isn’t a cliché for New Englanders, it’s a way of life. When your home team is led by the GOAT – you don’t want to bite into a tiny cucumber sandwich with the crusts cut off during the fourth quarter with 2 minutes left and no timeouts! Instead, you can elevate the game highlights with a meaty, saucy wing that captures the true feeling of Super Bowl in New England. While there are a lot of wing places, there’s only one that tells you where to go right in its name: Eat at Jumbo’s.

Winner of the 2017 Best Wings by Boston A-List and listed as one of Thrillist’s Best Wings, Eat at Jumbo’s is one of the great local places where everyone knows your name. With a menu serving forty wing sauces – all bottled in-house – customizing an NFL game day meal is as easy as Brady throwing to Amendola for the winning touchdown. With authentic wing flavors like the suicidal tender sauce – a homemade hot sauce lined with a kiss of death – and the pterodactyl sauce – a bbq sauce with a mild kick at the end – eating at Jumbo’s turns an ordinary Sunday in Somerville into a #SundayFunday filled with flavor exploration and adventurous eating. Of course, we go for the wings, especially during Super Bowl Sunday, but if you’re looking for variety, not to worry because Eat at Jumbo’s is as unique as its name.

From the Atomic Burger – a burger topped with Jalapenos and ‘napalm death sauce’ – to the Bob Marley Pizza – a pesto base pie topped with free-range Rasta Jamaican jerk chicken, banana peppers, and Roma tomatoes – eating at Jumbo’s is all about the electric experience and the defiance of your regular pizza and wing place. Eat at Jumbo’s receives the #SundayFunday seal of approval and not just for their creativity, but for those suicidal tenders – our mouths are still on fire.
