Admittedly, baked beans are a bit of a touristy thing, as local Bostonians apparently don't really eat this stuff anymore...or at least not at restaurants, as they usually just get the canned version. But this dish has been eluding me every time I come to Boston, precisely because it's not that common. Fortunately, there was a more upscale version available at the Fairmont Copley Plaza (138 Saint James Ave, 617-585-7222), which in and of itself is a bit of a destination given its ornate decor featured in a lot of movie sets. Their version of baked beans above had a bit going on in there, including strips of crispy pork, spinach, and a nicely done egg on top. And it wasn't syrupy either. I was happy with it.
