@JoshAWeiland @universalhub Olde Magoun's Saloon in Somerville does a Sunday Roast every week, changing it up from week to week.

@JoshAWeiland @universalhub Durgin-Park can give you the American version, Yankee pot roast and Indian pudding.

@JoshAWeiland @universalhub @blackmoorbar in Charlestown advertises one, but they didn't have it for opening last week.

The classic Sunday roast is tough to find

By MC Slim JB on Sun, 06/19/2016 - 3:09am.

Boston has a fair number of New England and Irish-American boiled dinners of beef or Boston-butt pork shoulder and root vegetables, but the beef versions tend to be based on brisket, and both are long-braised and brothy, unlike the dry-roasted eye-round beef roast typical of the English version. The closest we come to Yorkshire pudding is popovers, but they don't have the beef drippings that distinguish the former from the latter.

I guess I would suggest a prime rib dinner at some old-school place that does popovers like the Continental in Saugus. To the Tweeter who suggested Durgin-Park, Indian pudding and Yorkshire pudding reside in different universes.

used to make that every Sunday. I'd invite you over but she died some time ago and the tradition has unfortunately faded.

Twitter directed to FB Brits living in Boston page. Not all that surprisingly this has been asked about before. Alas, the consensus best answer evidently is "DIY".
