Bureaucratic bungle forces Allston roast-beef place, Egleston Dominican restaurant to shut down
By adamg - 4/6/11 - 11:05 amTHURSDAY UPDATE: The Licensing Board voted to let the two restaurants re-open. However, it set Roast Beast's closing time at 7 p.m. - owners had asked for midnight.
The Boston Licensing Board ordered Roast Beast on Comm. Ave. and the Millennium Restaurant and Grill on Washington Street to shut today because they don't have licenses to serve food.
Owners of both restaurants told the board they opened after the city's Inspectional Services Department told them they could open as soon as they passed health inspections. Roast Beast opened last month; Millennium six months ago. Wrong: Restaurants also need a "common victualer's" license, which only the Boston Licensing Board doles out, Board Chairwoman Nicole Murati Ferrer told them.
In both cases, the shutdown could be short - the board votes tomorrow morning on their requests for a common victualer's license. Ferrer told the owners of Millennium to think of today as a vacation day.

The crown prince of East Boston

... Is this crown prince/clown prince kissing his sandwich or sucking a thin slice or rare beef out from between the bun? Maybe a little bit of both. You'll try to do both too when you get one of these sandwiches between your mitts. ...
