I grew up in Hull, and when I was 6 my dad moved to Revere and later to Saugus. For 5 years, he operated a travel agency in Peabody. Add to that much more familiarity with the N. Shore recently. Given this history, I have strong feelings about this @NBC10Boston piece.

@NBC10Boston @RaulNBCBoston When my father first drove me up Route 1, I discovered a food wonderland. Not just the @KowloonSaugus and Hilltop, but Godfried’s Deli (first place I had Rumanian pastrami) and Zayde’s Bakery (beautiful rolls & Halfmoons.) The Italian was exquisite. 
To be fair, I cherish Weinberg’s Bakery in Hull — a stalwart for bagels, challah and half moons since the ‘40s, and there are a number of places that have improved the South Shore food scene in recent years. weinbergsbakery.com
Kerry Byrne, @footballfacts, is in the middle of that renaissance with his #SouthShoreBarPizzaSociaClub. Kerry has put Quincy on the food map. But this is only a blip amid the North Shore culinary onslaught.
Where this piece is completely unfair is it’s biased attack on Nantasket Beach. While it is true that the beach can be rocky in the DCR portion especially at high tide, there’s no denying Nantasket is gorgeous.
@threadreaderapp, please unroll this thread on Boston, Chinese food, Halfmoons and Nantasket Beach.
