It’s been a long time since we held a cue stick in our hands. So when we decided to join a college friend for a few games of 8-ball at Jillian’s last weekend, it was not a pretty sight. After struggling to finish 3 games in 90 minutes, we decided to console ourselves at the highly touted Sweet Cheeks Q for some Texas-styled ribs & brisket. Opened by a former Top Chef star, the restaurant is conveniently located just steps from Fenway Park and had some of the largest and tastiest biscuits we’ve ever eaten, but the meat itself was overrated. This weekend, we revisited the ICCA semifinals at MIT for one last visit before we leave Boston. None of the groups managed to wow us this season, although we were glad they finally found new MC’s to run the show. We spent the rest of the weekend packing my bug spray, sunscreen, and malaria prophylaxis for the India trip. Since my flight is not until the afternoon, I plan to be a good resident and go into work for macula conference before heading to the airport.
