So Many Activities: for such a small City

It's been awhile since my last post.  Wish I could say it was because I've been eating lots of burgers for the competition but that's just not the case.  Instead, work has been keeping me busy, I've been hitting the gym and Kev and I have been going on adventures.

Our latest trip: Boston.  We arrived around 10-1030am (ish) on Saturday, the adventures for the day included, Harvard Square, eating at Mr Bartley's (known for their Burger), roaming around Harvard Campus, a few beers at John Harvard's Brew House, (their house made pale ale was delicious), the Boston Commons and Public Garden, a little shopping on Newbury Street and back to Fanneuil Hall, the area where we were staying.

The plan was to hit up Union Oyster House for some chowdah (the bartender at John Harvard's said it was the best in the city) then back to the hotel, shower up and head out for dinner.  Plan = FAIL.  Union Oyster House had an hour and a half wait. No THANKS.  We headed towards the North End to try and get a table at Neptune's Oyster, (also so supposed to have great Chowder) but wouldn't you know, another long wait (we never actually found out how long because we couldn't get in the place).  So we did what anyone else would do, grabbed a bottle of vodka, some soda and headed to the hotel.  A few drinks later; all dressed and ready to go, we headed to Boston's Little Italy area (The North End) to finally eat some dinner.  Ok, so have you ever tried to go out to dinner there on a Saturday night?  Literally, every single restaurant, and I mean EVERYONE, was packed with a wait.  Which brings me to the point of my story, earlier in the day, the plan was to hit up this restaurant/gastropub Kev researched which was conveniently placed on his handy Google map in the South End.  After giving up on Italian food and the North End in general, we hopped in a cab headed towards The Gallows.

A Burger Competition...

It might come as a surprise to you but I like burgers!  One might even use the word LOVE instead, to express my feelings towards those juicy meat patties.  Ok maybe not a complete surprise since I did post a few days back about the lamb burger at the Breslin and how it's a burger I would dream about.  But anyway, let's stay focused, see people always try to say that one burger is better than another burger and then they try to award one particular burger the title of "Best Burger".  In my opinion, you can't do that when there are so many different types of burgers out there.  It's like claiming on specific slice of pizza as the "Best Pizza" when that clearly can't be done because of the all the different choices and varieties out there.  (which is a whole other topic of conversation for another day)
