The down-home feel of Western Massachusetts creates some of the best farm-to-table treats in the country. Stop in for a breakfast of two sunny-side-up free-range eggs with a locally produced sausage patty. For a different taste at lunchtime, visit a seafood cafe and enjoy deep-fried shrimp on a brioche bun drizzled with aioli and accented with coleslaw. When evening comes, find a local restaurant that serves appetizers of full-sized olives roasted in garlic, chili and lemon sauce to spice up your palate. Move on to a pasta salad infused with local red peppers, cabbage, carrots and peanuts adorned with a sesame vinaigrette. For an entrée, select a roasted whole chicken stuffed with cornbread accompanied by summer squash and red pepper jelly for an updated classic New England taste.
