Over the next few days I will pass along some great pictures taken by my friend Nate Dow, who's a sports editor at the Boston Herald (and also my brother Dan's Best Man) when he made his final visit to Magnolias Southern Cuisine in Cambridge MA a few days before it closed for good last weekend. More than a few of us have made the pilgrimage to Mags for many years, and Nate was the last of us to get there.
Owner/chef John Silbermann, who fed us all many a free appetizer of fried ersters, cooked every single meal over the entire time he ran Mags and its forerunner, the Cajun Yankee. The news is not all bad, as he sold the place to Auntie Tetsi, who has become legendary in the Boston area for pies. She's going to add Southern comfort food to the palette, so we will still have a place to go!
