13 Massachusetts Restaurants That Were Featured On National TV Shows

More and more movies and TV shows are being filmed around Massachusetts these days. But before we became the Hollywood of the East coast, our restaurants were already being featured all over national TV shows. Here's 13 restaurants that were featured on national TV. I'll include the episode (or the clip from the episode) when it's available. Bon appetit!

The Barking Crab was featured in an episode of 'Man Vs. Food' where Adam showed up and attempted to conquer their 4 pound crab cake.

Belle Isle was featured in an episode of 'No Reservations' (RIP Tony) where Anthony Bourdain enjoyed some fried fish and a lobster roll.

Featured on an episode of 'Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives.'

Featured on 'Food Feuds' where it was named the best pizza in Boston.

Not to be outdone, Sartapio's was featured in an episode of 'Bizarre Foods' where Andrew Zimmern tried some pizza and devoured the grilled combo, which includes a grilled lamb skewer, grilled sausage skewer, bread and peppers.

Flour was Bobbly Flay's pick on the Food Network show 'Best Thing I Ever Ate.' Bobby was raving about their sticky buns.

The Cabby Shack was also on 'Best Thing I Ever Ate.' Beau MacMillan showed massive love to Cabby Shack's "clam chowdah."

Guy Fieri paid a visit to Morin's on an episode of 'Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives.'

We go waaaaaaaaaayyyy back for this one. Remember when Rachael Ray was a Food Network personality? She featured Kelly's on her old show (which I LOVED) called '$40 a Day.'

The Boynton was featured on an episode of 'Man Vs, Food' where new host Casey beat their Madness Challenge: a rack of ribs submerged in a brine of spices, Worcestershire sauce, beer, ghost chilies, and capsicum oil, then coated in a dry rub, smoked, deep-fried, and slathered in a spicy sauce made with tomato, vinegar, spicy mustard, red chilies, jalapeños, habaneros, concentrated habanero vinegar, and puréed sambal peppers, altogether totaling 1 million Scoville units of heat.

Sweet Kitchen & Bar was featured on an episode of Food Network's 'Cupcake Wars.'

Another stop for 'Diners, Drive Ins, & Dives.'

Modern Pastry was featured on an episode of 'Sugar High' where they shared the secrets of the rare Italian dessert "Sfogliatella."
