Boston Burger Company continues to impress with their over-the-top monthly features, and February’s lineup was no exception. From a festive milkshake to a bold new appetizer and a creative burger, each item brought something unique to the table. Here’s my take on this month’s offerings:
Cupid's Delight ($15.00)
Chocolate strawberry frappe, red velvet cupcake, strawberry, candy hearts, sprinkles
Cupid’s Delight lived up to the name with a perfect blend of chocolate and strawberry flavors. The strawberry was slightly stronger but not overpowering, creating a smooth and balanced frappe. The red velvet cupcake was moist and delicious, with frosting that held its shape well. As expected from Boston Burger Company, the shake was decked out with toppings, and the candy hearts and sprinkles added to the Valentine’s Day theme without feeling excessive. The presentation matched their signature over-the-top style, making it a visually appealing treat.
Et Tu, Brute ($17.00)
Buffalo garlic boneless wings with Caesar dressing and garlic crostini
This appetizer was a satisfying mix of bold flavors. The buffalo garlic sauce was well-balanced, with the Caesar dressing providing a cool contrast to the heat. The boneless wings themselves were cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and well-coated in sauce. The garlic crostini fit right in with the dish, adding a nice crunch and complementing the flavor profile.
Mandu I Love You ($18.00)
Korean BBQ burger, fried mandu (dumplings), kimchi, scallion mayo, sweet soy drizzle, scallions, toasted sesame seeds
I was initially skeptical about the Korean BBQ concept since I hadn’t tried it before, but this burger won me over. The Korean BBQ flavor was excellent, offering a sweet and savory profile that blended well with the other ingredients. The fried mandu was a unique topping—though not the easiest shape for a burger, it still paired nicely with the overall flavor. The real stars were the kimchi and scallion mayo. The kimchi reminded me of sautéed onions, adding a slightly tangy depth, while the scallion mayo was a standout, as many of Boston Burger Company’s sauces tend to be. The only drawback was that the burger fell apart more easily than others, likely due to the generous load of toppings, but that’s a small price to pay for such a flavorful experience.
Final Thoughts
February’s features brought a great mix of flavors and creativity. The milkshake nailed the Valentine’s theme, the appetizer delivered a solid combination of heat and creamy coolness, and the burger introduced me to a new and enjoyable flavor profile. Boston Burger Company continues to excel in pushing boundaries while keeping things delicious.
