I expected an &#8220;order-at-the-counter-and-go&#8221; type of place, but no, no. Mei-Mei stepped up its game for the restaurant. It is a sit-down place that uses locally-grown and organic foods to inspire their constantly changing menu. You&#8217;ll still see all your favorites, but alongside them will be something new to try each time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Burger-Fi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, I loved Burger-Fi ever since I discovered it last summer in my hometown of Miami, but I am extremely pleased to say that they have made their way up to my second home. Located literally steps from Agganis, the new Burger-Fi location is a huge&#8211;you guessed it&#8211;burger place. Their shakes and fries are to die for. Much better that Shake Shack, in my humble opinion. (I just think that if you&#8217;re gonna have &#8220;Shake&#8221; in your name, your shakes should be a bit more exciting, but thats just me.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roxy&#8217;s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I have to admit, I&#8217;m a monster who has\u00a0<em>still<\/em> not tried Roxy&#8217;s Grilled Cheese. I know. I should just leave now. BUT, now that they have followed in Mei-Mei&#8217;s footsteps and turned their TV-famous food truck into a restaurant right in Allston, I have absolutely no excuse. And I cannot WAIT to try them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Go forth, and feast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know anything about me, you know that I&#8217;m in a long-term, emotional relationship with food.
