Imperial Lamb

Once discovering Thai food in Worcester, it can be very difficult to stray from the alluring flavor of the Pad Thai. Between the noodles, chicken, and shrimp it is notably a staple of Thai. Escaping Worcester briefly tonight, a few yards into Shrewsbury, I found myself at The Thai Place (yes, the name is pretty straightforward) being tempted by something other than the pad thai—the Imperial Lamb. Besides being a great cut of lamb (with bone), the seasoning and grilling—combined with the standard “no thrills” steamed thai veggies—came together perfectly to offer a suitable alternative to the pad thai. Moral of the story: if you stray from the known enough times, at least one of those times you’ll find a suitable alternative.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

There are a few restaurants in the city that make their own desserts from scratch—some, like Sweet and Luciano’s, have made a name for their diverse flavors and styles, but Dante’s Restaurant on Shrewsbury Street has a few worth sinking your fork into. Much like the seasonal Pumpkin Cheesecake. The perfect way to welcome the end of Fall.
