Must-have menu item: The Amendment. “Similar to the 1834, named after the year Westfield was founded, The Amendment is a bed of jasmine rice topped with smoked brisket, giardiniera, cilantro, onions, teriyaki glaze and spicy mayo. There are over 25 ingredients in this menu item alone, and the flavors are fantastic. All of your senses are impacted with the spiciness of the giardiniera, the sweetness of the teriyaki glaze, the smokiness of the brisket, the crunch of the cucumber veggie mix, the delicate flavor of the jasmine rice with the fresh cilantro and onions bringing out the full profile.” —Adam Hoffman, owner, Big Hoffa's BBQ | 800 E. Main St. | Westfield
