What People Are Saying About Hungry Mother
The Editor
Gerrish Lopez
Citysearch
A cozy, intimate dining space with butcher-block tables, water served in mason jars, a funky bar, kitschy décor, and southern flair combine to give Hungry Mother a down-home yet upscale vibe. With ingredients leaning towards the organic and sustainable, and in-house cured meats and smoked fish, the kitchen's southern roots shine through. Pre-appetizer "tide you over" items include boiled peanuts and a beef tongue canapé. A skilled chef's touch is added to comfort foods such as shrimp and grits, barbecued quail with fried green tomatoes, roast chicken with sweet potato spoonbread, and…

The cuisine at this Kendall Square eatery is a hybrid: part down-home Southern, and part up-scale French ? all made with fresh ingredients from local New England farmers. Chef/Co-owner Barry Maiden grew up in the land of Dixie ? he?s from Marion, Virginia ? and the name comes from nearby Hungry Mother State Park. The restaurant?s eclectic influences are apparent when you walk through the door: on the wall is a photo of the park alongside pages from The Virginia Housewife and Mastering The Art of French Cooking. Start with the boiled peanuts in the shell; deviled eggs with smoky bacon; or the Dijon beef tongue canapes on toast. For entrees, try the Creole shrimp and grits (the crustaceans are Fed Ex-ed fresh from the Gulf daily); or the pan-fried catfish with caper buerre blanc and garlic collard greens. Also notable is the rich "French style" gnocchi with spring peas, mushrooms and parmigiano. Wash everything down with perfectly sweetened southern-style iced tea served in Mason jars. And don?t forget the incredible desserts, including the Buttermilk pie with graham cracker crust; and bourbon-flavored pecan sticky buns. Located next to the Kendall Cinema (diners before 6pm get $6 tickets), this delightful gastronomic experience makes the perfect dinner-and-a-movie night out.
