Ha! Bartley's Burgers?
<http://www.bwp33.com/page6/files/page6-1009-full.html>
From 1995-2001 I used to eat in there maybe once a month. Not bad but
hardly the world's best. Clearly the food reporter for the Boston Globe
has never made it out west. I'd choose In-N-Out over Bartley's any
time. As a kid I lived just a few miles away from the original In-N-Out
established in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California. I made a bee-line for
that place as soon as we drove into the Los Angeles area on our big
round-the-country trip.

Unfortunately, the nearest In-N-Out is likely somewhere in Arizona.
But there is one in Henderson, Nevada so I also get to go there when I
visit my dad. <http://www.in-n-out.com/location_details.asp?id=150>
Just about 1/4 mile from the Sunset Station Casino.
Bartley's the best? Not bad but, nah! But they do have pretty good
sweet potato fries. Next time you're in Cambridge stop by John
Harvard's Brew House for a good lunch and a good beer.
