Bob Eats Boston: Agawam Diner, Rowley

Channel B

In this week's edition of Bob Eats Boston I headed to Rowley to check out the Agawam Diner. If you love traditional American Diners, you will love the Agawam for a lot of reasons. The atmosphere is friendly, and the food is fantastic. I had a bowl of their hearty chili and a slice of their famous coconut pie.  Definitely worth the trip!

00:53especially for cold days. I like in the summertime. I don't care. I love chili.

00:58It's a great starter or a meal. This comes very simple. Just onions on top.

01:05Mmm. Homemade. It's got a kick to it. Surprising kick. I don't think I'm going to need this.
