There’s a lot of important things to cover today about you drinking out of a marlin and eating macaroni salad with pineapple and habanero and toasted coconut and about the existence of bitters made of crickets.

You know how the past few years have seen an uptick in the amount of things that come in the burrito medium? Pretty great, right?

So much to cover today, we’re just going to get to covering. Two places you need to know about: Cherry Point, a charmer of a neighborhood spot from a man who used to call the Spotted Pig home, and Hail Mary, a deceptively large, florally inclined diner takeoff.
