Hubby is going to Boston area for 3+ weeks IE..Danvers and Wakefield. HOT-HOT spots needed! Mary Anne Danvers and Wakefield are not known as hot food havens. A lot of chains (Chile's, Applebees, etc) and standard issue family style places. The Border Cafe on RT 1 in Saugus has some good TexMex stuff and great margaritas. If he wants to take a trip to downtown Lowell, he can check out my favorite: Southeast Asia Restaurant on Market St. Very hot Lao, Thai, Cambodian, Burmese, and Vietnamese food. Very unusual. Lots of different stuff down in Boston/Cambridge but the best bets for spicy food are ethnic (especially Asian) places. Jeff Jeffro's Serious Sauces http://people.ne.mediaone.net/jeffroz/home.html
