2012 Best Burger

Lineage

We’re in the midst of a burger craze in this city, which means that patty-to-bun ratios and cheese-melt quality have become as dissected and discussed as Sox ERAs and OBPs. But you know, sometimes we just want a good patty, thank you very much. And that’s exactly what we get at Lineage, plus a toasted brioche bun, grilled onions, and nutty Comté cheese. All told, it’s a beefy masterpiece that doesn’t demand statistical analysis.
