Dan Gould Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 wow....we may have small heads here, but our Boston Markets still have romaine lettuce and we still have ham. Interesting .... do you think its possible that Boston Market dropped ham in south Florida due to the relatively high proportion of Jews in the population? I had assumed that it was a chain-wide change, so if it wasn't, what would make them change it here? Maybe there was just less demand for ham in this area and therefore they just went ahead and dropped it. Of course, that doesn't explain dropping romaine lettuce from the sandwiches!

johnlitweiler Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Boston Market began in Naperville, IL, years after I graduated from North Central College there. Naperville water comes from wells. That is GOOD. But then Boston Market moved headquarters to Aurora in Arapahoe county, CO, a suburb of Denver on a dry plain. That was BAD. When I was a boy, my father got a scholarship to Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, so my family spent a summer high up in Gunnison county, western CO, beside a rushing mountain river. CO's laws are such that a few years ago Arapahoe county tried to exersize its legal rights to drain away the water from that beautiful stream so that all the Arapahoe county residents could water their vast lawns. Fortunately, Crested Butte has lately become a popular resort town and, last I heard, the yuppies there able to out-legal the Arapahoe folks. But I have sworn to never eat Boston Market food or knowingly buy anything produced in Arapahoe county. / Some folks in Michigan have big heads. Big big heads.

jazzypaul Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) Boston Market began in Naperville, IL, years after I graduated from North Central College there. Naperville water comes from wells. That is GOOD. But then Boston Market moved headquarters to Aurora in Arapahoe county, CO, a suburb of Denver on a dry plain. That was BAD. My parents live in Naperville these days, and I gotta say, if Boston Market was still based in that absolutely bizarre, weird, odd, freakishly off place, I would boycott it until the day I died. Which would mean no spicy meatloaf. that would make me if not outright so I guess I at the fact that Boston Market of Naperville, IL is now in Aurora, CO. Strange thing is, if they wanted to move to Aurora, all they had to do was cross route 59.... silly corporate people always making things hard...

.:.impossible Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 So why wasn't the place originally called Napersville Market? I'm confused. There's a Boston Market near my office. Still open.

Michigan's useful, too--I need a good place to stop for a knish while I'm traveling to and from Canada buying prescription drugs for elderly relatives. Re: Boston Market, my wife & I did have a weakness for the mac/cheese and meatloaf whenever driving up to Michigan for the weekend--used to hit one in Kokomo, but it went under a couple of years ago. I still think there's a place for non-burger fast food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makpjazz57 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Years ago, someone told me about the way places such as Boston Market cook 'dem 'dere chickens - they are stacked in a bg 'ol rotisserie and all the greeeeeeesy stuff is dripping from the top chicken on down, so by the time you get to that poor 'ol bottom chicken - it is a greaseball. Now, I love some greeeeeeeesy stuff and back in the 80's frequented Fattburger in L.A., but I wouldn't want to be the recipient of that bottom chicken!!!!
