Xander Bogaerts is a special talent on the field, but his breakfast cravings are as human as can be.

Billy Costa of NESN’s “Dining Playbook” found out what the Boston Red Sox shortstop likes to whip up in the morning. Bogaerts also talked about the restaurant that he cannot wait to visit again, El Oriental De Cuba in Jamaica Plain.

You too can visit El Oriental De Cuba, located on Centre Street and open seven days per week. Visit the restaurant’s website to learn more at elorientaldecuba.net.
