Massachusetts: Did You Know There’s A Bacon Restaurant In The City?
Do you think that bacon is good on anything? Are you one of those people who claim that bacon makes everything better? Either way, you’ll be pleased to know (if you don’t already) that there is a bacon-specific restaurant in the greater Boston area.
Bacon is perhaps the most flexible food of all meat products. Whether it’s a side dish to accompany your breakfast plate, served atop a burger or sandwich, or glazed in maple as a dessert treat, bacon has a way of making every meal happier. In addition, it’s cooked especially to your liking. Some like chewy, some like it burnt. Others like it every stage in between.
Meet The Bacon Truck Café
Located at 50 Terminal Street, in Charlestown the Bacon Truck Café in only open Thursday through Saturday. Their hours are 9am – 1pm, they serve breakfast all day. “The Bacon Truck proudly serves Blackstone St. Smokehouse’s thick-cut, applewood smoked bacon,” they say about where they source their bacon from. Now, you are probably wondering: what are my bacon options here? Let’s have a look at the menu.
There are seven breakfast plate options all with a bacon truck spin. For example, their loaded hash is a bacon-scallion potato hash over a medium egg, but then topped with bacon bits. If you are looking for something a little lighter, there’s is an everything bagel with cream cheese, however, it’s a bacon scallion cream cheese. You can additional bacon bits to just about anything for $1.
Lastly, this Bacon Truck Café restaurant in the Boston area allows you to create your own breakfast sandwich. Of course, it is assumed you would have it topped with their thick cut bacon strips.
Bacon On Wheels
Given the name of the café you would be correct to assume they also have a food truck. In fact, Tuesday through Thursday the truck is out cooking up all your favorite bacon specialties from 11am until 2pm. You can find where the truck version of this bacon restaurant will be in Boston on their website here.
3 Great Places To Find PRIME Hydration In Massachusetts
Over the past six months, whether I am driving my kids to a sports practice, school, or camp, I often get the same question in the car. “Dad, can we get a PRIME to bring?” They’re referring, of course, to the popular hydration drink. Here, I will detail the three places in Massachusetts that have been my go-to stops to find the PRIME hydration drink, which is surprisingly (and frustratingly) difficult to find.
Why? You may ask. That is a fair question. The answer is that in my rookie “Sure, you can get a PRIME” days, I often left the store I went to empty-handed. They either never carried it or sold out in minutes. A PRIME scavenger hunt became a “thing.”
I realized that having the PRIME bottle was more important to these active youth groups than actually drinking the drink. This sparked my curiosity. I was impressed by how much kids knew about the origins of PRIME and how it came to be. I did some digging to learn a bit more about this phenomenon.
Interesting, But Remind Me Again, What Is PRIME?
In short, a hydration drink created by Logan Paul and KSI. It was introduced last year. They also have a PRIME energy drink, but that is not applicable here. Yes, I was naïve to PRIME at first, but know well enough to steer kids away from the major caffeine coolers. Currently, PRIME is distributed by Congo Brands. As BevNet points out, “The drinks are 10% coconut water and contain B vitamins, antioxidants, zero added sugar.”
Due in-part to the massive influencer following of Logan Paul and KSI (over 40 million followers), the drink quickly caught on in the sports world. As result, PRIME has become the official drink of FC Bayern Munich, in addition to being partners with Arsenal and UFC. Furthermore, they were the “first creator-led brand” to appear in Super Bowl commercial this past February.
There are currently nine flavor options in the U.S. market.
Distribution Partners
Large retailers such Kroger, Walmart, Target, and Amazon are distribution partners of Congo Brands. Furthermore, PRIME secured shelf space at 7-Eleven. I learned all of this the hard way after many failed attempts at finding any PRIME bottle available to purchase. Here, however, are the three reliable places in Massachusetts that I find consistently carry PRIME hydration.
PRIME also now lists on their website where you should be able to find their hydration drink.
