Burger joint going into Gandhi space
Walked by the now closed Gandhi space tonight, and it looks like a burger spot is going in. I think it was called "Four Burger" or "Four Burgers".

Does anyone else find it ironic that a burger joint is going into a place formerly called Gandhi? Is nothing sacred? ;-)

I was just about to remark something similar. :) Also funny - another commenter remarked on the fact that much of Gandhi restaurant's business was their "all-you-can-eat" lunch buffet. :)

I fondly remember Ghandi from the 80's being my first Indian resto. I am glad I wasn't subject to the recent rumors of it's sad state.

It was pretty mediocre. Same with all the other Central Square Indian places. They might as well all be using the same kitchen.

Wow, whoever wrote that is a very witty individual....and humble too.
When I first read the title of this thread I thought "Oh no" but then I realized that a really good burger joint would be a good thing.

FWIW, I did a WHOIS on fourburgers.com (their domain name) and the domain is owned by Michael Bissanti of the Paramount. Their website is largely uninformative: http://fourburgers.com/

If Four Burgers is being opened by Michael Bissanti, who runs the Paramount, then it should be good. In my experience, the Paramount has high quality food and service.
I agree that a good burger joint would be a good thing, especially if the burgers are fresh and healthy - none of the frozen crap you get at other burger places.

I don't give a hoot about "healthy", as long as its good. In fact, I'd probably prefer that they *not* try to be healthy, because generally "healthy burger" places suck.

Agree 100% jgg13. I want a nice high fat content, I want it basted with duck fat and cigarette smoke and clogged artery puss.
I just want a great burger.

Anything less than 20% fat would be flat-out wrong, IMO. I had a burger in Chicopee once that must have been about 40% fat, and I still remember how incredible it was. Although I did sense someone playing a tuba behind me as I walked to the car (sorry, an obscure Family Guy reference).
It's great that yet another burger place is coming to the Boston area. I can't wait to try it!

OK OK! my bar on the definition of healthy is very low. A healthy burger to me is one that's made from fresh meat (with lots of fat) with bun that's not stale and possibly a lettuce leaf and tomato (ketchup will do). I hope they serve a burger/beer combo as one of the Four Burgers.

If that's healthy, I'm *way* healthier than I ever thought I was. I'm sticking with this definition from now on! ;)

yes. yes. from a real, fatty cow.

We're having a potluck thingy at work today. I'm making Kobe sliders (10 pounds of ground Kobe from Savenors; I better get a good bonus).
Talk about fat content. I think the Kobe (wagyu actually) is about half fat.
Have to cook it really rare. I suspect I'll have some idiot co-workers asking for well-done.
The answer will simply be "no."

Good answer. :-)

Heh, I just borrow a phrase from Alton Brown in those situations: "If you're not having it medium rare, why are you having it?"
