Good food doesn't need a fancy parking lot. For next month's cover story, food editor Rachel Leah Blumenthal (@blumie625) went town by town—north, south, west—hunting down the best eats outside of Boston. Turns out Waltham's been quietly great for years. Malden might be the most exciting place to eat in Greater Boston right now. And Quincy? A dessert haven that'll satisfy any sweet tooth. At the link in our bio, we found it all so you don't have to hunt for the best restaurants in the suburbs. Also inside our August issue: our inaugural guide to the region's top hospitals, plus a New England weddings special featuring five real couples' celebration, and more. On newsstands now!

@mattlovesfall You couldn't hire an actual artist to make your cover? Really?

@pahkandtremont How the mighty have fallen.

@xheadwoundxcollectorx What’s the point in writing a feature whose function is to highlight small, independent businesses and then undercut a creative team by using AI dogwater?

@sas504 Surely Boston Magazine could employ a graphic design team, of artists, that could create a better cover
