Massachusetts Restaurant Gets Perfect 10/10 Rating From Netflix Reality Star

Fans of Love on the Spectrum may know Logan Pereira as one of the show’s rising stars, but it turns out he has a pretty cool connection to Massachusetts. More specifically, Taunton.

Pereira recently shared a video on Instagram while visiting his mother’s hometown, giving his followers a little taste of something many people around here know very well. I'm talking about the famous chow mein sandwich.

He was very dialed in to his food review, something I admire as a local foodie.

Logan Pereira Visits Taunton, Massachusetts

“Hey guys, my mom’s hometown, Taunton, Massachusetts,” Pereira said in the video before showing off his meal from China Kitchen. For anyone outside of this little corner of New England, the idea of putting chow mein between two hamburger buns might sound a little unusual. Around Taunton, Fall River and the SouthCoast, however, the chow mein sandwich has been around for generations.

Pereira seemed to be a big fan. “It’s like chow mein in between buns,” he explained before giving his sandwich from China Kitchen a perfect 10 out of 10. He even told his followers that if they could find a chow mein sandwich somewhere else, he wanted to know about it.

A Massachusetts Connection We Didn't Know About

We’ve talked quite a bit about Love on the Spectrum on The MGM Show, especially after getting the chance to speak with James B. Jones and Shelley Wolfe, and sharing lunch with them down at The Black Whale in New Bedford. Jones is from North Shore Massachusetts, but finding out Pereira has family ties this close to the SouthCoast was a fun surprise. Pereira may live out in Las Vegas, but knowing his mom is from Taunton suddenly makes him feel a little more local.

Honestly, I love that out of all the things he could have highlighted during his visit, he introduced his followers from around the world to one of the most uniquely local foods we have. Between Taunton, Fall River and the famous chow mein sandwiches found throughout this area, Logan Pereira officially has himself a little SouthCoast street cred. So if a 10-out-of-10 review from Logan doesn't make you want a chow mein sandwich for lunch, I don't know what will.
