On Friday, August 12th, the BBA will be holding its monthly Meet & Greet Luncheon, where BBA members from any firm or section can come to meet new people or catch up with old friends over lunch. This event got BBA Week curious where our members go to lunch when they are not convening at the BBA, so we are asking:

"What is your favorite lunch destination in Boston?"

If you would like to respond to a future Voices of the Bar, make sure you send a headshot, and contact Eric Fullerton at efullerton@bostonbar.org.

	Catherine N. O'Donnell - Zelle McDonough & Cohen LLP "My love of the California Burger in Houston's (now Hillstones) is well known to my coworkers. After the birth of my son, my two amazing colleagues/friends persuaded Houston’s to prepare a take-out order, rented a zip car, and arrived over to the Brigham & Women’s with the best tasting burger ever!"
	David Baker - Law Office of David Baker "My office is across the intersection of Mass and Huntington Avenues from Symphony Hall in Boston. Directly across from Symphony Hall is Betty's Wok and Noodle Restaurant. It serves an interesting melange of Chinese and Latino dishes, such as Latino Fried Rice, which comes with fried plantains! The lunch specials average $10 and include non-alcoholic drinks with free refills. The portions are plentiful. I try to get there once a week, on the average."
	Dr. Gaytri D. Kachroo - Kachroo Legal Services, P.C. "I love to lunch at Radius in Boston. Over the years I have grown to enjoy the gourmet aspects of this establishment, its modern décor and local ingredients… and more importantly the welcoming service of the staff. Not only do they share the day's toil with camaraderie and good humor, each member of the staff takes such pains with my guests and myself that they assure our comfort. This sounds like a recommendation and of course, it is. But it is more than that. I generally enjoy any establishment that serves quality food (or any product for that matter) with the kind of care that is genuine, thoughtful, measured, and thereby becomes part of the product sold and thereby valuable."
	Robert M. McGill - The McGill Law Firm "On a sunny day, my favorite lunch spot is sitting by the harbor on Long Wharf with a sandwich from Chacarero watching the boats pass by. It's a nice change of pace from the office."
