I’m bemused that someone’s temper would ever be frayed by a simple rivals forum. ☺️
Come to think of it…it is more hilarious than bemusing! 🤭

In all seriousness @Brisket and Bourbon,
Have to seen the new documentary on Netflix about A&M and the “Yell Culture” yet?

Looks like it moved right around the corner. If that is, indeed, the same place as the one I was writing about, then it has changed the menu almost completely from what I remember. The old place was a very simple, casual, tables and chairs kind of place where the service was friendly and the food was both simple and extremely good.De Martino Restaurant | Now Serving Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch

Whereas this new place appears, from the menu and website photos at least, to be a high-falutin hoity-toity brunch place, with a latin-ish lean on some dishes. It might be great, I can't say. But it's very different from the original place.
The website gives mixed messages about it being open for dinner. A couple places say open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But the hours listed show it closing at 2:30pm during the week, 3pm on the weekend.
It's the son's restaurant and he created his own menu, which is a modern spin on Cuban food and now a ton of brunch items, but the food is excellent, albeit very different from his father's restaurant. It's not high-falutin hoity-toity. Best birria tacos. I've tried a bunch of different dishes and all were good: birria tacos, steak and eggs, ropa vieja when they have it, shrimp and grits, brunch burger, garlic butter shrimp, and the brunch stuff like waffles, pancakes, French toast and eggs. The mocktails and coffee drinks are good too. It switched to mostly brunch hours the past few years, because he wanted more family time, but they occasionally throw up some dinner hours on Instagram (not often).
I saw tres leches french toast. That's pretty hoity toity. 😀
In the H&B business, we serve only the finest quattro leches which adds, let's just say, an even fresher milk to the mix.
Anyway, perhaps I'll give it a try. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to bring the friend with whom I discovered the original place. Gotta figure out how to get her husband out of the way first, though. Hm...
One of the busiest streets in Somerville closing for a month

The closure will allow construction of a pedestrian bridge connecting The Edge At Main apartment buildings.

So getting to the parking lot back by Shoprite will not be possible from Main St. People will have to use Veterans Memory Drive to get to that lot from the other (the south) side.One of the busiest streets in Somerville closing for a month

Good to know. Although I will surely forget until I encounter the no-left-turn off Main. 🙂
Not good. Hope everyone is ok.

Terrible -- especially we were just there on Friday! Yes, let's hope everyone is OK. It's sad that restaurants are often a source of fires.Not good. Hope everyone is ok.

My understanding is that a number of fire fighters had to be treated for smoke inhalation. There were no other injuries. There are apartments above the restaurants, and at least one family (that included a child in kindergarten) lost its home.

There is a Yiddish idiom: "eyn kehora" -- not with the evil eye, e.g. "How old are you? " "I am, eyn kehora, 72 years old."

Like always, businesses that were going strong prior to the incident will come back. Businesses that weren't probably won't. Sucks for the owners and residents, though.Future uncertain for Somerville businesses, residents after Main Street fire

Here's an update on the fire's aftermath. Donations to help the victims can be made to the Somerville Civic League -- but its site allows donations only through PayPal, which I distrust.
