7 Outstanding Celebrity Chefs All Under One Roof

Choosing a place to eat on a night out can feel like a high-stakes decision. With so many great options spread around the city, it can be intimidating to try and tackle it without a plan already in place. The Hub on Causeway is just what the doctor ordered. Some of the most talented celebrity chefs in Boston (and in the country) have made The Hub their new home and we’re here to tell you all about it.

Tequila Cocina is celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s first restaurant concept in Boston.  It’s an experience like no other with an expansive bar including a cocktail program featuring over 100 tequilas and a menu full of mouthwatering Mexican flavors, including his infamous trash can nachos.

Bianco & Sons Sausage

They’re bringing Italian family recipes to Hub Hall and are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Looking for a classic? Try the Bianco Sweet Italian Sausage with grilled peppers and onions.

Lily P’s Fried Chicken

Brought to you by Boston celebrity chef Chris Parsons, named one of the city’s best chefs in 2019 by the Boston Globe, Lily P’s Fried Chicken at Hub Hall is the Massachusetts native’s latest concept. Named after Parsons’ daughter, the restaurant’s ingredients are locally sourced. Juicy boneless chicken thighs are covered in a thick, crunchy coating and tucked into fresh baked Hawaiian rolls or served on their own.
