MAYNARD As Gov. Charlie Baker tightens restrictions on restaurants, further limiting the number of people who can dine indoors due to the pandemic, a young local chef is trying to adapt to the changing market.
Benjamin Peacock recently opened Peacock Market and Meals in Maynard, where he is preparing a takeout menu of what he calls “better than restaurant-quality food.”
The market is at the Pleasant Café, 36 Main St., where Peacock is renting kitchen space until the restaurant reopens next spring.
