Eric Twardzik
Boston Contributor
Eric has been steadily eating and drinking his way around the greater Boston area since arriving there as a student in the fall of 2009. In the years since, he’s developed big opinions on where to find everything from the perfect martini to the platonic ideal of the chicken Caesar wrap. He has the annual dates of multiple food festivals committed to mind and still occasionally burns his mouth while feasting on soup dumplings.

Your Ratatouille moment

Hot take
Stop putting burgers on brioche buns! The smaller and squishier the bun, the better. -
