“If you’ve got the urge for the thickest, juiciest, freshest, most mouth-watering burger around, point your carnivore compass to R.F. O’Sullivan’s Pub, in Somerville, Massachusetts.
At O’Sullivan’s, they fire up the grill for about 400 pounds of hamburger every week. These burgers are big. Each belly-busting beast is a half-pound of fresh-ground sirloin. To cook a burger this thick and juicy takes patience, and about 20 minutes.
Richard Sullivan - Owner, R.F. O’Sullivan’s Pub: “People come in, and they get mad, but I explain to them, it’s not like your everyday place, it takes time to cook.
There’s no shortage of selection at O’Sullivan’s. The menu offers over two-dozen types of burgers, all for about seven bucks.
It’s a rare restaurant that will still cook a burger rare, but O’Sullivan’s does it without fear.
Richard Sullivan: “We have people who just come in here to eat it rare. Most places now are hard to get a rare hamburger, I’m not afraid to serve it rare. Because I know, myself I eat it that way, I taste the meat myself, and I know it’s quality.”
Don’t squish the burgers!
Richard Sullivan: “That’s the number one rule, is when these chefs come in to cook I say, ‘Do not squish the burgers down. We’re known for a nice puffy burger.’ The way the meat is, if you squish it, like a lot of people do, you’re squishing out the juices, the flavors of it, which is the number one, do not do.”

CBC (Cambridge Brewing Company
Great place for beer lovers, they also have great appetizers.
Like I said in my February article on Cambridge restaurants, the big thing at the Cambridge Brewing Company for me is the CBC Buffalo Chicken Tenders! Unchanged for 28 years! My husband would add to that the Tripel Threat Belgian-style beer. They have a large selection of beers and the food is great for a laid-back casual night out.
