If you live on the North Shore or occasionally like to venture there, be sure to add North Shore Dish to your list of ‘best insider resources.’ Childhood friends Kristen Nyberg and Jill Rose grew up together on the North Shore, wandered further afield, then settled back in the old neighborhood years later and discovered that the local food scene had changed for the better. They also found that media coverage of North Shore dining–which often fell in Boston’s big shadow–didn’t do it justice. So, foodies since the fourth grade, Nyberg and Rose took matters into their own hands and began blogging.

Now, almost two years later, the ladies of North Shore Dish have written up hundreds of restaurants, bakeries, breweries, pubs, bistros, diners, cafes (you get the idea) in the area. They also give a weekly rundown of upcoming events and a list of local farms and markets.

And Nyberg and Rose aren’t afraid to tell it like it is. They report on the good, the bad and the ugly, but we’re all better (fed) for it. It’s hard to believe there are any eateries left for these two to critique, but Nyberg and Rose continue to churn out posts on the latest and greatest in the food world of our own North Shore. Enjoy!
