What makes Boston’s burger scene unique?
- With the burger still being one of America’s favorite fast foods (next to pizza), the jury is out on who makes the best burgers. Boston’s burgers range from signature versions of the meal, such as aioli and taleggio-topped burgers at places like Rialto, Lineage, and Eastern Standard, to affordable classic bites from Mr. Bartley’s Gourmet Burgers, a fast-food legend since the 1960s.
