Restaurant Review: Hungry Mother in Cambridge, MA

We visited Hungry Mother restaurant in Cambridge a few weeks back with our old neighbors Titi and Julie to celebrate a birthday.

The one thing I keep thinking about is the cornbread. At $4 a plate, it's a steal and I had no idea it could taste so good. It's cooked in a cast iron mold that is filled with melted butter making it crisp (almost fried) on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. It's coated with a sweet melted butter before it is served. Yum.

The rest of the meal offered Southern inspired dishes including a fried catfish, mushroom gnocchi, steak with B-1 sauce, and an amazing crispy chicken. All were worth returning for.
