And where did we choose?
Well the folks at Zagat have some great recommendations!

restaurants: TripAdvisor Puts Their Money Where Their…Clients Say…John Prescott's The MetWest Scene - 11/18/08 09:08 AM
BostonKayakGuy has long been a fan of TripAdvisor, the online travel site propelled by travellers who offer their reviews and comments on hotels, destinations, and restaurants.
It’s a fabulous resource when you’re planning a trip or want to see what others have to say about a restaurant or hotel you’re considering.

Book cover via Amazon
I admit to being something of a connoisseur of hamburgers.
My favorite is a kobe burger with gorgonzola, carmelized onions, and smoked bacon.
Blue Ginger Restaurant in Wellesley is known for its terrific fusion food.  But Frances Rivera of WHDH was able to get owner Ming Tsai to share his special recipe for Bleu Cheeseburger and Bacon Bing!
Columbus Day Weekend’s menu will be sure to include Ming’s Burger Bing at my house!
