A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Just after Thanksgiving, when I couldn’t bear another turkey leftover anything, I headed over to Mission Hill to Beta Burger. I met up with owner Adrian Wong who gave me the lay of the land. They have seating upstairs with great lighting from the floor to ceiling window (a food blogger’s dream!). The parking can  be a little dicey here if you’re looking to run in and pick up a burger, but there is a whole block of 30 minute parking in front of the Roxbury Crossing T station on the next block. And if that’s still too much, don’t worry, they deliver. With prices starting at $5.50, you can treat yourself!

The burgers are cooked sous vide and finished off on the grill with a quick sear. The sous vide style allows the burger to lock in all the juices, making it a really flavorful patty. TV screens on the wall give you tons of options to customize your burger: beef or chicken patties, potato roll, wheat roll or a skinny bun (almost like those Pepperidge Farms sandwich thins), American or cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, jalapeño, relish and their “not so special sauce”. (I love the name, because so many places have special sauce which really just ends up being Russian dressing!) They even have premium toppings like caramelized onions, sauteed oyster mushrooms, coleslaw, and smoked bacon.

Of course I chose the potato bun with the beef patty, relish, bacon and cheddar cheese. Look at how pretty that looks!

Let’s talk fries. They are pretty delicious on their own, but if you want to kick it up a notch, Beta Burger offers seasoning packs in flavors like garlic parmesan, salt & vinegar, sour cream & onion, or Buffalo. Check out the video of us shaking up our fries here.

Is your mouth watering yet? Stop in to Beta Burger and see what I’m talking about!
