Each week on TV Diner, Billy and the crew will be visiting a new destination! Billy will include quick info and interviews featuring people and places you have to check out! For our first destination TV Diner went down to Boston’s Seaport District to see why everyone has been talking about this up-and-coming neighborhood! Billy checks out the unbelievable brand new Institute of Contemporary Art on Boston’s waterfront. We experience some contemporary art, as well as some of the legendary Wolfgang Puck’s creations that can be experienced inside the ICA at Water’s Café. Despite all the new things happening in the Four Point Channel, we could not do a feature without including the incredible Barking Crab. It’s a hot spot all year round with seafood that will be a sure bet! Then Billy meets up with pastry queen Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery to check out her new spot in the making!

B & G Oysters
It’s all about Oysters! Do you like the big or small ones? Do you prefer them from Maine or Massachusetts? Mollusks and Bivalves? With an extensive list to choose from at Barbara Lynch’s B+G Oysters, we are going to be trained to become true OYSTER EXPERTS! Billy welcomes Greg Reeves, a graduate of the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. He has worked in some of Boston's best kitchens including Aquitaine Bistro and Upstairs on the Square before assuming the position of Chef de Cuisine at Chef Barbara Lynch's B&G Oysters, Ltd. located at 550 Tremont Street, Boston - Phone: 617.423.0550
