Update: Todd English Might Open a Burger Bar In the Theater District

More than two years after we first reported it, Todd English's idea for an upscale burger joint may finally be coming to fruition. According to Zagat Buzz, the celebrity chef known for such places as Olives, Kingfish Hall, and Figs should have the dining spot open in the Theater District of Boston later this fall. The unnamed burger place will open at 255 Tremont Street (just south of Stuart Street), where Dominic’s Restaurant used to reside.

[December 11 update: Todd English's new burger place isn't open yet, but according to the Boston Herald, a major hurdle was passed recently when they received approval for a liquor license. The Herald also mentions that the restaurant will have a capacity of a little under 200.]

[January 6, 2010 update: According to Grub Street Boston, Todd English's still-unnamed burger bar should be opening in late March.]

[February 8, 2010 update: According to an article in yesterday's Boston Globe, Todd English's burger bar is "off the table, for now." If and when it looks like it may be in the works again, we will post a new update here.]

The Boston Herald reports that the restaurant will feature burgers paired with craft beers and wines, with prices being moderate and the atmosphere being that of an American bistro. The Herald also mentions that upstairs will be an upscale lounge with a sushi bar.
