For our one month anniversary, Burgerman and I couldn't decide where to eat. By the time we arrived at Good Stuff, we were ravenous.....we almost started drinking ketchup while we waited in line. I saw some 5-napkin burgers being constructed, and I immediately decided that would be my dinner- nevermind the fact that I hadn't had an egg over easy in about 12 years, and certainly never on a burger. Burgerman went with the fresh farmhouse burger, and we split the village fries and a black and white milkshake. We helped ourself to condiments while waiting- they had chipotle mayo, mango mayo, this kind of mayo that begins with an s, like siraccha or something. Only the chipotle was fry worthy. The milkshake came out first, and it was divine! Although a little too vanilla for my taste, I probably would have enjoyed straight up chocolate. The chocolate syrup was thick and the consistency of that glorious starbucks chocolate goop. The icecream was superb, crazy thick and creamy- I hate watery, melty milkshakes. We were very glad we split one though because it was so rich. As for the burgers, they were gone in about a minute. Burgerman's seemed small and plain, but I always think a burger with no cheese is plain. Mine was delicious!!! I loved how the brioche bun sopped up the runny yellow of the egg, and the burger was very nicely done, although they were a bit smaller than we had pictured. The fries were a huge dissapointment. They dumped out of the paper bag all in one greasy, mushy clump. The seasoning was great, as I'll eat just about anything spiced with rosemary, but the texture and temperature of the fries was not ok.
As I had been craving a milkshake every since August, Burgerman and I went back there after the Nationals game on 9/16 for Spike's signature shake, toasted marshmellow. OHHHHHHHHH brother, it's truly amazing. I tasted a little bit of coconut, a little bit of creme brulee, and a lot of marshmellow, but i think i just imagined the other two flavors. OH it was so thick and delicious, I have no idea how they get the marshmellow flavor in there without making it all clumpy but somehow it's done! We have vowed to try the milky way shake on our next visit, but I might have to reneg on that promise and get the marshmellow one again. Also that night we split a farmhouse cheese burger, and it was great. Maybe that's because we weren't starving, or because we knew what to expect this time around so we weren't dissapointed with the size or the flavor? I don't know.

Why We Love Boston
Boston, MA
We visited Bartley's again when we were in Boston this August, and WOW. It was even better than I remembered it. I was ridiculously full though, to the point of being uncomfortable afterward, but man, what a burger.
We also went to J.P. Lick's for some cookies and cream ice cream, and to Border Cafe, the best tasting and best bargain tex-mex we'll probably ever find. They now have this new little appetizer called pastelitas, which are like mini chicken empanadas that come with a cilantro-oil-lime sweet dipping sauce that is out of this world. Oh Boston.
