Power Outage in Cambridge; Taking a Ramen Beating
CAMBRIDGE - For those who might be headed out to dinner in Cambridge tonight, call first: at the time of this post, a power outage is affecting up to 30% of NSTAR users according to this official outage map. The MBTA has denied a rumor that it has to do with the Red Line hitting a deer, which sounds crazy, but then again there are increasing reports of urban coyotes and turkeys, so why not?

Here, Maybe All This Poutine Will Cure Your Hangover
What better way to nurse a hangover than with a heaping portion of fries topped with gravy and perfectly squeaky cheese curds? Poutine is thankfully growing in prevalence in the United States, originally courtesy of our friends up North in Quebec, who swear by its magical, hangover-relieving properties. Plenty of Boston restaurants are serving up their own versions of the classic dish, so here are a few examples to help you recover from your Cocktail Week debauchery.
Hangover Recipes From Teodora Bakardzhieva
Here's some guaranteed hangover remedy recipes from Emerald Lounge bar manager Teodora Bakardzhieva.

Brian Poe, Hangovers, and Veal Stock Aromatherapy
Chef Brian Poe of Poe's Kitchen at the Rattlesnake, the Tip Tap Room and the upcoming Estelle's shared what he likes to eat after a hangover plus one notable rude awakening.
I'm way into a huge cup of Caramel Macchiato and then I like to stand next to the veal stock pot, with all those bones going on, and breathe that steam in. Then I like to take my seven-bacon salsa that I have for my oysters, sautee that with an egg and put some of my PBR beer cheese sauce on top. And just kind of absorb all the veal bones, all the cheese and all the bacon.
I shouldn't name the other chef, but I had a late night with a couple of chefs here in town, and that one hurt me. It was definitely the moment where you go the guest bedroom, and then I was up before my wife. I made her a full spread breakfast, and she wouldn't speak to me for the whole time we were eating, and the she turned to me and said "It was good, but just do me a favor next time. Text me."
