NO CRUST BREAD

INSIDE THE NEW MARKET BASKET IN WALTHAM
The opening in Waltham was like a well-oiled machine. The place was packed with shoppers just before noon, but I parked with no problems. Inside, there was a sea of workers in their signature navy blue and maroon coats waiting to help everyone out. Their legendary low prices were even lower for the opening and there were lots of freebies and free samples. I got some pasta with sauce and Christmas cookies. I also got a free loaf of crustless bread and a mini ciibatta stick. Workers placed coupons all over many of their products to save even more money. Like many of the newer MB's, this one also has a coffee shop, sushi bar, bakery, butcher's block and pizza station.
There are several other restaurants opening up at the 1265 Main Street Plaza. Grab a beer and enjoy classic bar food at Jake and Joe's, which is to the left of Market Basket. There's also a Starbucks, which may look open, but it's not yet. One of my favorites, Not Your Average Joe's in also in the works, along with a restaurant the specializes in meat called Flank.

PERFECT PIZZA AT OTTO
You can buy a whole pie or grab a slice or two. I went for the slices, so I could try a couple of varieties. These thin crust slices are HUGE and packed with flavor. I LOVED the butternut squash, ricotta and cranberry pizza. What a combination of flavors and perfect for the fall. I also enjoyed their mushroom, ricotta and herb pizza. The flavor of the herbs really popped in my mouth.
Other pizzas on Otto's menu include mashed potato, bacon & scallion, pulled pork & mango, apple, bacon & vidalia and their famous margherita pizza. There are several options for vegetarians and you can get your pie on a gluten-free crust.
Otto originated in Portland, Maine, where you'll still find it today, along with another location in South Portland. Besides Brookline, you can also find Otto in Newburyport, Harvard Square, Lynnfield and on the BU campus in Massachusetts.
There's a reason why Otto is packed with people - this is some excellent pizza.

OLD GRIST MILL TO REOPEN NEXT WEEK!
It's been about two years since The Old Grist Mill Tavern in Seekonk, Massaschusetts burned down. It was a heartbreaking loss for the community. This is one popular place! But, fear not. The Grist Mill has announced on its Facebook page that it will reopen on November 14, just in time for the holiday season.
The owner tried to make the new building look as much like the old building as he could, saving what he could from the fire, which was caused by a gas tank explosion. The cost of the new building: $3.5 million. I've always loved the Grist Mill. How many restaurants have a real waterfall? Plus, their salad bar is soooo good. Congrats to the Old Grist Mill on their much-deserved opening.

FILL UP ON MEXICAN AT MARGARITAS

| Margaritas Famous Taster |
You've gotta order a margarita at a place called Margarita's, so I ordered there seasonal apple cider margarita. It's served with a cinnamon rim and is so good! BTW, they are also offered a pumpkin sangria right now. There are bottomless chips and salsa to tide you over before the meal, so no apps were needed. There are lots of them on their menu including fresh guac, nachos, baby chimis, taquitos and Mayan shrimp.
I wanted to try a little of everything, so I ordered "Margaritas Famous Taster" for dinner. It's a heaping portion - a chicken burrito, cheese enchilada and taco with ground beef. It also comes with rice and beans. Very tasty and filling. Margaritas menu is packed with Mexican favorites like fajitas, enchiladas, tacos and burritos. There are also a bunch of salads including a salmon, avocado shrimp chop and fajita salads. There are plenty of vegetarian options including a vegetarian burrito and roasted vegetable zarape.
Check out Margaritas Circle of Friends card to save some money. Once you sign up, you'll get 25% off your first meal and $10 for every $150 points you earn, along with a gift on your birthday.
