Waltham Takeout, Mystery Box Edition

A cardboard container, some wax paper, and wings that clearly traveled some distance before I photographed them — that’s Waltham, September 2016. No box branding, no receipt, nothing. Just the aftermath.

I want to say this was a good decision at the time. The wings look reasonably glazed and the celery made it into the box, which some places consider optional. Beyond that, this one goes in the record books as an unsolved case.

If you’re in the area anyway: the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation covers Waltham’s surprisingly big deal as the birthplace of American industry, and Gore Place is a genuinely lovely 1806 estate if you need a walk to counteract the wings.
