#SundayFunday – Pancake Play at Lincoln Tavern

The implication that Super Bowl Sunday is meant to be spent in some hole-in-the-wall sports bar with mediocre wings and a rotation of stale beer is insulting to the foodie that craves an exciting meal for an equally exciting game. Of course, we labeled Eat at Jumbo’s as the place to order your Super Bowl Wings of extraordinary spice, but if you are a real sports fan – let alone a New England fan – then you know we must pre-game before the main course. If the main course is spent eating at Jumbo’s then your pre-game destination is at Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant.

With a menu of little middle ground, the dishes speak to both extremes. The smoked salmon platter – a house smoked salmon with whipped cream cheese, shaved red onion, tomato, cucumber, avocado, capers, with a sesame bagel – is light on the tongue while the breakfast burger – a maple sausage patty topped with hash browns, an over easy egg, pepper jelly, hollandaise, Portuguese muffin, served with fries or a salad (let’s be honest– who will order a salad with this epic burger?) – hits you heavy like a ton of bricks and in the most satisfying of ways.

However, there is one dish that breathes life to the little bit of middle ground this menu has to offer and its constant evolution is something to obsess about.

At Lincoln Tavern, the pancakes are a play on everything that is good in the world. From the pumpkin pancakes topped with a graham cracker crumble, cream cheese frosting, plump golden raisins and bourbon maple syrup to the fruity pebble pancakes – a pancake combination too sweet to turn down – the pancake play at Lincoln is the perfect addition to your #SundayFunday roster. With pancake ingredients dedicated to the season, they never miss the mark. The pear and chai pancakes with caramelized bosc pears, ginger pecan syrup, and mascarpone cheese are exactly what we all need to get over the month of January.

#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.
