I took Happy Meal whale watching in Long Beach--I was still trying to shame him into buying me that World's Greatest Dad coffee mug, but the little man was really making me jump through all of the hoops. Anyway, I'll be damned if whale watching didn't create a powerful hunger.  The lad selected Boston's the Gourmet Pizza.  They claim to serve a lot of amazing food, and the waitress sang the praises of the burger.  Ir was later that I realized I should have asked her about recent head trauma....sigh.   

Ready...Set...Terrible!

Burnt burger with burnt cheese

The menu (LIAR) claimed that I was about to enjoy a half pound of juicy, Angus beef.  Sadly, the pre-formed, thin patty was served a scorched Well Done, so any juiciness was consumed in the angry flames of their grill under the tender ministrations of a kitchen staff too busy to prepare food worth trying more than once.

Dry-dry-dry burger on a dry-dry-dry bun.  Frankly, the flavor was sort of there, but the execution was LACKING. Dijon mustard?---NO!--Boston's is a gourmet establishment, so they only serve that fine, yellow stuff in a squeeze bottle and you, good sir, are an idiot for even asking.  I do not think that gourmet meant what they thought it meant.

Burger Review -- Shame of them for charging ten bucks for a dust bunny.
