Thank for mentioning us on the radio. we hope to see everyone at Bill & Bo Winiker Show every Sunday night.
I wanted Share This Great Bio
Among my favorite people are musical legends Bill and Bo Winiker (http://www.winikermusic.com). Especially as they played there for so long, one of my favorite resrtaurants was Brothers in Brookline.
While the Winikers continue to bring musical joy to fans far and wide, Brothers has sadly suffered the fate of so many fine establishments during the COVID era.
Fortunately, Chef Simon Restrepo (who first came to Boston from Columbia at the age of 16 and has been climbing to the top of the local food scene pretty much ever since!) has revived the venue and brought back the Winikers for their popular Sunday night showcase.
Though he has worked with such other area stars as Lydia Shire (she of BIBA, Scampo, etc.) and the Kinkead Brothers (they of Sibling Rivalry fame), Chef Restrepo has entered the former Brother’s space alone and, renaming it as Vello (which is apparently a nickname a friend would call him), He is ready to offer his own take on local and international favorites (with a special focus on Italian & Mediterranean and his native Colombia).
Among Chef Restrepo’s new offerings are his already popular one-minute steak with soft grits and braised short ribs with beet vinaigrette and potato gnocchi. Other early faves are his mushroom arancini, lamb meatball shakshuka, Miso clam chowder, swordfish rollatini, and his amazing homemade Ricotta donuts.
In addition to the great food, Vello also offers an extensive drink list and, come Sunday night, the best music in town! Be sure to check it out and thell them Matt’s Meals sent you!
