Trans fat, the substance that keeps certain foods mysteriously moist for an artificial length of time, might be banned in Brookline effective May 29, during the town meeting. Studies show that trans fats increase bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease. They became such a concern that the amount of trans fats in a food is listed on food labels - which you don't get in restaurants. If the ban...

Okay, everyone, today's the day when we find out if all the ruckus caused by the Aqua Teen Hunger Force lite brites was worth it. Will the "guerrilla marketing" campaign devised by Interference Inc. and the media's subsequent coverage of the bag of fries, shake, and "meat wad" actually bring people to theaters?

More weapons have been found in the schools. After a false fire alarm, Hyde Park High School staff discovered a gun inside a backpack after a student walked back inside and set off a metal detector.

Ever have one of those raging hangovers where all your body craves (besides hydration, Advil, and a promise to never drink again) is greasy food? Well, Bostonist found themselves in this predicament on Sunday afternoon and decided to head down to Eagles Deli in Brighton’s Cleveland Circle. For any Boston College student or alum, you’re probably familiar with this deli/fast food joint where you can get anything your hungover heart desires. It was ranked “The Second Best Place in the World to Pig Out” by the Travel Channel a few years ago and that pretty much sums up Eagles.

Those of you who are worried about your girlish figures but want to eat french fries and the like need to head over to b.good, the Back Bay restaurant with the tagline: "real.food.fast." Located on Dartmouth Street right past the Back Bay station, b.Good is fast food for the calorie-conscious, and is one of Bostonist's favorite lunchtime spots. All of the menu items are up on a board, which lists the nutritional value of everything. While the idea of fat grams listed next to an order of fries doesn't sound too appealing, the information isn't too scary since all food is basically healthy. (Those french fries, by the way, are baked and only have four grams of fat.) You can have your burger (lean 93% ground beef, turkey or veggie), fries, and shake (made with non-fat frozen-yogurt and skim milk) and not feel like an elephant as you stumble your way back to your cubicle for the afternoon.

Located in the normally grimy section of town outside the shadow of the TD Banknorth Garden, Anthem is the replacement to "The Commonwealth", which succeeds where its predecessor failed. Breathing a little life into the North Station area, Anthem offers a trendy feel with floor to ceiling windows giving view to the Courthouse and Haymarket Parking Station. The restaurant has fun with itself throughout the menu description and choice of meals. Despite the humor,...

Hey! Isn't college food supposed to suck? Because it looks like Harvard serves the most amazing food ever photographed. Those french fries would even give Ronald and Wendy a run for their money. I sure hope this years incoming freshmen don't have their hopes up too high. Not only does their food look scrumptious but they are up for the MITX web design award. The MITX 10th annual web design competition is just around the...

Bostonist is glad that we can go back to calling them French Fries at the fairs and carnivals this spring. Do you think they serve French Fries at the Paris Hilton?
