As a Bostonian, I have certainly taken advantage of the multitudes of amazing restaurants in my fine city and surrounding 'burbs. But with a nine month old baby, my wife and I don't eat out like we used to, unless it is take out at a local restaurant or sushi bar.

Occasionally, I like to drool at bostonchefs.com. Not only are the restaurants and chefs listed, but the menus are all online along with photos of the culinary creations. Tonight, I think I'll have some of the Yellowfin Tuna Trio from No. 9 Park to start, followed by the Grilled Lamb and Apricot Skewer from Casablanca. For dessert, it will have to be the Chocolate Bliss for Two from Finale. I sure hope my wife is free for dinner. If you haven't noticed, one of the perks of eating out on the internet is that you can vicariously indulge in different courses from different restaurants. Yum.

Incidentally, they have sites for many major cities. When my wife and I traveled to Chicago a few years ago, we used the site to find restaurants in the windy city, and we didn't have a bad meal the entire trip.

Sigh... as a former Bostonian I miss eating at Finale so much. How can you not love a restaurant where the focus is dessert? I was surprised that two of my favorite Boston restaurants (Mistral and Pigalle) weren't in their database.
