Boston Market (Revisits to a place never posted)

mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog.  Kirk, Ed(from Yuma) and Cathy share in writing and posting about meals enjoyed.  Today, Kirk is working some overtime and Ed(from Yuma) is busy with things, so Cathy is writing this post.  

The Mister and I do not 'regift'.  If someone has gone to the trouble of purchasing a gift and a card, addressing, finding a stamp and mailing something to me, I am happy to accept and then use whatever it is. Then my thanks are sincere.  So, that's how this post began; a gift card in the mail.  Boston Market, since 1985. An American chain with over 450 locations which has the mission "create awesome rotisserie meals, served quickly, by warm and friendly people".  How had I forgotten- it's been at least ten years since we had been here. That's the whole menu, which changes with some seasonal offerings. The primary choices here involve rotisserie chicken, turkey and meatloaf...  and sides!  A plethora of choices: mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, sweet corn, rotisserie potatoes, sweet potato casserole, creamed spinach, fresh steamed vegetables, green beans, southwest rice, caesar side salad, vegetable stuffing, squash casserole and cinnamon apples.  

 A three piece (dark meat) rotisserie chicken plate ($8.29) with a choice of two sides- creamed spinach and mac and cheese on this one.  So nice, decadent, flavorful.     The "Market Pair"-soup and half sandwich plate ($7.49) a choice of soups (chicken noodle) and a turkey half sandwich (there are other choices of each item).  Again, this was very nice and so very good.  Homestyle, not heavy; pleasant, familiar food.     A salad with rotisserie chicken ($8.29).  Fresh and tasty with a lot of juicy, still warm chicken. Quite a large portion.   The meatloaf plate ($8.29)  Two thick slices of a very good meatloaf, along with the creamed spinach and rotisserie potatoes (which are nicely crispy yet with a fluffy interior).

The in store meals are brought out to you on real plates, with real (not plastic) utensils after you order and pay.  So old fashioned and home style. 

The reason I received the gift card? A home bound friend asked me to pick up and order for her earlier this year, during Lent, when I don't eat meat on Friday. 

I had noticed this signage and bought myself the seasonal item (which came on a very nice, reusable to-go plate). The baked cod was excellent! 

I'm sad that I had forgotten and had stopped dropping by Boston Market, it's a great alternative.

We used to have a Boston Market near us but alas, it has since closed. I really enjoyed their meatloaf here and the variety of sides.

I remember the first time, but don't see them around Tx much.

There's an El Cajon location as well as one on Balboa at Genesee, cc. I'm making an effort to try all the sides offered...the apples are amazing ( just like at the County Fair). That meatloaf is so good.

It's a great national chain, Bill..but few Texas locations. Worth the stop if you happen to see one.
