Big Al’s, Billerica MA (round 2, better than the first time!)

Second time I’ve hit this spot, much quicker experience today being the middle of the week (15 minute wait for the sandwich). It was better the second time. If you’re living in the burbs of Boston and jealous of all these incredible looking steaks from the Philly area, get on over to Big Al’s.

House made seeded rolls, thin sliced ribeye, with onions, perfect amount of cooper sharp. They make em till they run out of bread!

I have still never had a cheesesteak from the Philly area but I imagine this is about as close as you’re gonna get around these parts. They also make a roast pork and a buffalo chicken cheesesteak that are on my list to try.

Cash only!

Sourdough focaccia.. Detroit-ish?

Used my wife’s sourdough starter to make a focaccia, and halfway through decided to make it a pizza with some leftover sauce we had. Then, decided to try to give it a Detroit style cheese edge situation. We will be making this again.

Appreciation post

I’ve had my MK8 for 7 months now, put ~5k miles on it, around town, some back roads, road trips, snow storms.

For the money (bought a ‘24 S used in October, $27k OTD), I can’t imagine a better car. It’s unassuming enough but I get compliments often (multiple older ladies have called it cute). Perfect for driving back and forth to the office in traffic, perfect for those moments when a twisty road opens up in front of you.

I’ve done multiple mini road trips and it was super easy to pack my lady, my pup and all of our stuff for a week long trip with room to spare.

It’s handled serious snow storms brilliantly with good winter tires.

Keeping it stock for now but planning to have some fun with it when the warranty expires.

Hoping to keep it a long, long time.
