So Richard Chudy, the Boston Burger Guy, raved about the burger at the Citizen Pub on Boylston Street, finding fault only with the bun.
An outraged David A. DuBois, CEO of the Franklin Group, which owns both the pub and Tasty Burger, replied by calling Chudy an asshole and saying he'd like to meet him in person to drive the point home even more.

Travelers on Japan Airlines' new non-stop service between Boston and Tokyo are in for a Boston treat: Donuts AND chowder, on one convenient tray that just begs you to dunk the donuts in the chowder.
Apparently, Mister Donut is a huge donut chain in Japan that has its roots right here in the greater Hub area. In fact, it's sort of the yin to the Dunkin' Donuts yang - it got its start when two budding donut entrepreneurs (brothers in law, no less) couldn't agree on the future of donuts and so separated, one to form Dunkin' Donuts, the other Mister Donut.
So if you've ever wondered about the possibility of alternate-universe Dunkin' Donuts donuts, just book a flight to Tokyo to get your exclusive "AIR MISDO set, which includes a chocolate-coated cinnamon ring and a maple-flavored ring of classic Mister Donut doughnuts, alongside a bowl of Boston's signature clam chowder."

The Chelsea Record can't restrain its enthusiasm for the city's first Starbucks - finally, proof that Chelsea is no longer a gritty backwater where people have no appreciation for "a richer, sometimes exotically mixed cup of coffee" but instead a more refined community on the move:
A Starbucks in Chelsea is a good barometer of things that are happening here.
Better yet, it is a good barometer of things to come.
We welcome Starbucks.
What a wonderful addition to the mall.
Liberty to drink.
Thomas Kershaw's Hampshire House Corp. asks the Boston Licensing Board on Wednesday for permission to open a bar at Liberty Wharf on Northern Avenue.
The proposed Little Chestnut Boston Harbor would fill what is now a vacant "kiosk" next to the main wharf complex, which already houses several restaurants with bars. The 1,490-square-foot bar would have room for 60 patrons.
Rather than just hope the board has a spare license to hand out, Hampshire House already has a deal to buy the liquor license from XO Bar and Restaurant on Washington Street in Dorchester.
Armed with an April food-truck schedule, David at Limeduck is attempting to sample the offerings from each truck. He starts with a visit to the venerable Savory Food Truck 1, which was dishing up Chinese food at MIT probably long before anybody at Clover was even born:
Observant Jews who might be jonesing for some serious cupcake action after Passover will have to avoid the new Crumbs on Federal Street - it's the only Crumbs that isn't kosher.
"It's killing me, I need to get this open," Todd English told the Boston Licensing Board today, adding that all that now stands between him reopening the once fire-ravaged Olives is one last fire inspection, scheduled for this Thursday. He explained the latest holdup along with his lawyer, Dennis Quilty, in response to a simple question from board Chairwoman Nicole Murati Ferrer: Read more.
It's not the fresh fish that wins jglee over at Super Fusion Sushi in Cambridge - since most of it is obviously frozen - but the good value for the money, she reports:
No baloney!
For some reason, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has been flitting about the Boston area the past couple of days. Today, as Sheeps Eating Me shows, it appeared in Hyde Park. Truman Parkway, to be exact.
Why there? No doubt to help open the newly rebuilt Stop & Shop there.
The matzah was just out of camera range.
Dana Reichman reports she was surprised to turn an aisle at the Stop & Shop on American Legion Highway in Roslindale this morning to see a decent supply of Passover goods. She reports the stuff wasn't flying off the shelves, but it was only 7 a.m.
The Boston Licensing Board voted today to let the Allston Domino's deliver pizzas up to 3 a.m. seven nights a week.
The Domino's had only been allowed to send its drivers out that late on Fridays and Saturdays; the board agreed with the franchise owner there's a public need for early morning pizza.
The Huntington News reports student government has given the OK for a proposed Popeyes in the student-center space originally set aside for Chick-fil-A.
The News reports a Student Government Association poll found more support for Popeyes than two competing fried-chicken chains suggested by university officials and that Popeyes business practices gave students nothing to cluck about.
For 20 minutes today, a meeting of the Boston Licensing Board became a battleground for the very soul of Allston.
In one corner, a Domino's franchise owner who wants to be able to deliver pizza until 3 a.m. every night of the week and the night owls who vow to consume its food. In the other corner, the Allston Civic Association and residents who say they just want to be able to sleep through the night. In the middle: The three members of the licensing board, who vote tomorrow on whether to let the franchise extend its hours to 3 a.m. every day, rather than just on Fridays and Saturdays.

Julian Bolger appeared before the Boston Licensing Board to seek permission to change Barley Hall back into Joshua Tree.
Annabelle reports on some of the "bietary fupplements" available at Kam Man, which replaced the Super 88 in South Bay. And, yes, they include Stud Sex Power, that incandescent blend of "power herbs and root tonic," that is no doubt way better than the stuff more conventional stores carry.
The owners of Barley Hall, 1314 Commonwealth Ave. in Allston, go before the Boston Licensing Board on Wednesday to ask permission to change its name back to Joshua Tree, which is what they called it until last summer.
