Dozens, probably tons of of us working in or round Cambridge’s Central
Sq. just lately bid a bittersweet farewell to a largely unknown joint referred to as 4 Burgers. The aptly named restaurant featured 4 varieties of burgers: turkey, salmon,
black bean, and grass-fed beef. Whereas
the meals was of nice high quality, it was a bit overpriced- a typical lunch
time order of rosemary chips (which had been, admittedly, nothing in need of
incredible), a double cheeseburger, and one soda value a dime underneath $15 with out
tax, and so they by no means marketed any specials to my data. So with a shrug,
we watched them shutter their doorways.
It wasn’t lengthy earlier than the murmurs and whispers of a brand new burger joint rose
above the collective din of grumbling workplace employee tummies. A co-worker got here
to me asking if I had heard of the favored meals truck from Scarborough, Maine,
that was going to completely park its enterprise just a few streets over. After I
discovered the title, the grumble didn’t come from my abdomen.
please? It’d coax a chuckle from a vacationer the FIRST time, however as somebody
who lived in Maine for 5 years, this bit will get outdated quick. Sadly, identical to so
maine-y issues on this area of New England, it’s time for change. However hey,
then once more, I’m a metropolis slicker now- perhaps I simply can’t wrap my head round the best way life ought to be.
that is in central sq.?
At first look, MAINELY BURGERS felt suspiciously like a rebrand of 4
Burgers, however I succepted to the ruse after taking within the restaurant’s
wood-panel-everything décor, which was unusually comforting- just like the sq.
womb of a Tolkien Ent. There’s additionally a pleasant mural of the meals truck driving from Portland to
Central. All in all, the straightforward and polished environment is a welcome juxtaposition to the Sq..
Two gadgets on the checklist shortly caught my eye. The primary, THE BEAST. On a
checklist of menu gadgets just like the MB CLASSIC, THE SHROOM & SWISS, and THE
ARRIBA!, this one appeared like the one alternative for a Fats Man Meals Blogger. Additionally,
the title jogged my memory of my favourite autumn themed protagonist- THE BEAST from
Over The Backyard Wall. Look it up and thank me later!
cheddar cheese, pickles… and the a lot wanted ingredient to make it appear
substantial, bacon.
A very powerful factor, as I discovered from studying many a FGFB submit earlier than
I joined in, is the preparation of the one supplemental ingredient that may
justify its title. This ingredient is, after all, the bacon, which was expertly
cooked in my meal on no less than two completely different events. The combo of crispy and chewy is unquestionably
sufficient to blow any so-called connoisseur of this sweat meat deal with proper into
the center of Mass Ave, to be shortly run down by an detached bus driver.
Every part else within the Beast fulfilled its anticipated it position in a
passable method apart from the sparing use of BBQ sauce. That is the second evaluation in a row I’ve needed to critique missing condiments, but when there is not any sauce on the desk or no less than packets within the bag, it’s very justified.
That’s proper haters! Depart your ill-conceived notions within the 90’s cartoons
your feeble perception system was conceived in! Doug Funnie and I’ll look upon
your helpless husks and cackle! YOUR WRAITHS ARE DOOMED TO HAUNT A CROOKED PAST
FOR ALL ETENTINTY, NEVER TO SEE THE FRUITS OF TRUTH TO BE BORN PAST THE INCEPTION
OF YOUR WICKEDNESS!
Very like the Loch Ness, aliens, and Bigfoot (sorry Josh), it’s time to put
this city legend to relaxation as a result of FINALLY and WE NOW HAVE IRREFUTABLE PROOF
(gotcha there tho) that brussel sprouts, when ready CORRECTLY, are A TOP
TIER AND FGFB NOTEWORTHY VEGETABLE. Suck it kale! You have had your day, now return to no matter San Francisco vegan bistro and weed dispensary you crawled out of.
This gluten-free breadwinner (I assume? Who is aware of anymore) instructions the
scrumptious flavors of garlic, brown sugar, and one unseeingly but unmistakable
overpowering different. The distinct style of soy sauce provides the required salinity
to deem this veggie snack-worthy, and but I really feel it was too heavy-handed, and
distracted an excessive amount of from the distinct brussel sprout taste that distinguishes
this snack from every other lightly-fried inexperienced vegetable. That being mentioned, these
had been completely scrumptious, and I sit up for having them inside strolling
distance on a lazy-afternoon workday then I do 100 cheeseburgers.
The Beast: B-
Whereas this was absolutely a well-crafted sandwich, it didn’t do sufficient to
fulfill the savage urges one naturally feels when indulging upon a good-sized
cow-puck. Two patties are an absolute should, which takes cash from my pockets
and factors from my grade. Nonetheless, all the standard taste superstars come
collectively to avoid wasting the day, which left me with sufficient satisfaction to thrust back
purchaser’s regret.
Brussel Sprouts: A
Child cabbages overshadowing meat is not any small feat. This one really earned
the A.
Regardless of the marginally underwhelming burger, I’ll be headed to Mainely once more
quickly. There’s just a few different eye-catching gadgets on their menu I’m eager to try- the
Coop burger, their “truckmade” chips (we’re purported to imagine a truck is driving these down day by day?), and… here is one other odd one- fried cauliflower?! Hey, like I mentioned, they nailed the sprouts. Would possibly as properly see if they’ll glamour up one other wholesome meals. My docs could be so pleased with me if I informed them I ate two greens in the identical week!
