Sullburger

Two years ago on the eve of the Roadfood.com tour of Massachusetts clam shacks and roast beef houses, a few eaters met at a pub on Beacon Street in Somerville called R.F. O'Sullivan & Son for hamburgers. The burgers were delicious, but for some reason I took no pictures of them. And somehow, I didn't make it back ... until today, when the person I was to have lunch with in Boston asked where I'd like to go. O'Sullivan it was! And while business prevented me from sampling lots of things and paying enough attention to write a review, I did snap this picture of a "black and blue" burger. That's a half-pound patty rolled in cracked black pepper and smothered with blue cheese sauce. Those fries and onion rings on the side are pretty grand, too.

At first glance, I thought that was another steamed cheeseburger like at Ted's in Meriden until I read further! That sure looks great, and we're definitely adding O'Sullivan's to our short list to check out. Thank you kindly!

As a Somerville resident, I keep giving R.F. O'Sullivans second chances and I always end up disappointed. The burgers have a charred, burnt taste on the outside and the place is so small, cramped and hectic (and not in a good way, like at Bartley's Burger Cottage). I hope, however, that Michael got a chance to go a block down the street to Petsi's Pies for dessert. They have an amazing pie selection and whoopi pie cupcakes!
