Foodie Friday: Trina’s Starlite Lounge

Earlier this winner, Boston publicist, the ever sweet Nicole Kanner, invited me to her boyfriend Josh Childs ‘s restaurant, Trina’s Starlite Lounge. (In 2009, I blogged about his South End townhouse here.) It’s a divey kind of place (from the outside) in Somerville. Inside it was warm and inviting, with fantastic food and service.

Josh is a spirits guy, so he mixed some sort of bourbon martinis to start (not quite my thing, buy my friend Deb loved hers). Southern Wedding Soup (with alligator meatballs!) was followed by Blistered Beet Salad (delicious) and a main course of roasted duck  that included a side of sublime gnocchi. But more importantly, they served THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOST AMAZING CORN BREAD I’ve ever had or ever will have ever. Period. Heaped with so much rich butter that everyone asked, “Is that butter?” OMG. Worth going late night, if just for that.

  1. I couldn’t agree more. Trina’s is special, the warm atmosphere, good food and the most amazing cornbread I have ever had. It is absolutely decadent!
