Boston Father & Son

Boston Father & Son runs food carts serving street-food classics under the motto “Rooted in Boston. Made Fresh. Served With Soul.” The core menu is hot dogs, lemonade, pretzels and roasted nuts, and the recipes stay simple: the lemonade is lemon, sugar, water and ice, the pretzels are flour, yeast and water, and the roasted nuts are just sugar, water and nuts. The business says great food doesn’t need shortcuts.

Beyond the basics, the menu reaches into comfort food such as turkey legs off the grill, empanadas and arepas. The carts have regular spots at Boston Common, Copley Square, Fenway Park and Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall, and they also serve at events around Boston. The business sums up its approach as comfort food done right, made fresh with real ingredients and a lot of care, without cutting corners.
