Burgers

The Boston Globe has a review of Burgers by J. Kenji Alt, who I don't know in person or in print.

But, he did mention "In-N-Out Burger" and "Five Guys."  The first I know from travel to the Coast.  The second from visiting our sons down in Northern Virginia.

The writer says, early on:
Until recently, a decent West Coast-style burger was impossible to find in the Boston area.  But like many cities nationwide, we're in the midst of a burger renaissance, and the past three years have seen a slew of high-quality West Coast-style joints springing up.  These arrivals have set the stage for a single-city East-West showdown.
Any time there is competition it is good news.

But, the interesting thing is that there is a "burger renaissance."  I wonder if that has to do with the economy?

At any rate, it seems a trip to Dedham is in order, once my spouse gets her health back.

  1. As somewhat of an expert on "West coast style" burgers, I am an ardent fan of Carl's Jr. who produce perhaps the most eggregious affronts to "healthy eating" known to mankind. In n Out are a good sub if Carl's is not in sight.
