Squid Eats: Bigg Daddy's Philly Steak House

As discussed the past two weeks, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) occupies facilities originally constructed for the Arnold Prints Work factory.  A few of the buildings near the museum's front entrance contain privately owned restaurants - a handy arrangement for travelers such as ourselves.  It is all the more so when you're staying at the Porches Inn (previously middle management housing for the factory) across the street from the museum.  One really doesn't need to walk any further than two blocks to address basic needs.


Our second night, we ordered sandwiches from one of the aforementioned restaurants, Bigg Daddy's Philly Steak House.  Bigg Daddy's only has outdoor seating and not much at that.  However, one can sit across the driveway at Bright Ideas Brewing, an excellent brewpub, and enjoy good grub and tasty beer at the same time.

I ordered a Turkey Hoagie (more or less my default sandwich regardless of whether you're calling it a sub, hoagie, grinder, whatever).  My wife got the Italian Hoagie.  Much to my disappointment, they were out of turkey.  How does a sandwich shop run out of turkey?!!!   Fortunately, they had plenty of roast beef so I got that instead.  It was quite nice.

I'd say the beer was even better.

  1. I betvthe price was better there than the other place. Obviously, everyone loves turkey. I could spend some time at the museum

    1. Naturally, everyone loves turkey. And maybe they got a large order they didn't expect. Still, it seems like a crazy thing to run out of.

  2. Good beer makes the meal even better! But in Boston, shouldn't you be going for clam chowder and lobster rolls?

    1. Ha! Well first, North Adams is nearly three hours west of Boston. That said, I don't take much convincing when it comes to lobster rolls. I don't know if North Adams has a good seafood restaurant. Perhaps we should find one.
