It looks like a popular burger spot is expanding to the Boston waterfront, replacing a short-lived restaurant under the same ownership.
According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, the people behind 111 East at Fan Pier in the city's Seaport District are petitioning to replace it with Lola Burger, which would join the original Lola Burger on Nantucket along with other spots from Marco Coelho and his team, including the nearby Lola 42 as well as Lola 41 on Nantucket. 111 East first opened its doors this summer, offering mostly Asian street food and hot pot options; a Google search indicates that the restaurant may have already closed, though this has not yet been confirmed.
The address for the new location of Lola Burger will be 11 Fan Pier Boulevard, Boston, MA, 02110.
The website for the Nantucket location of the restaurant can be found at https://www.lolaburger.com/
[November 5 update: Eater Boston states that the Boston location of Lola Burger opens on November 14.]

Bruno's Bar + Burger in Lynn to Become Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina
by Marc Hurwitz
A burger spot that temporarily closed a few years ago has apparently closed for good, and it looks like a Mexican restaurant with a somewhat similar name will replace it.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group along with a couple of sources, Bruno's Bar + Burger in Lynn is no longer in business, with this being confirmed within the North Shore Eats Facebook group. Another poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants thread mentions that a new spot called Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina is taking over the Western Avenue space, and a Facebook page for the place shows that it will indeed be opening there, classifying itself as a Mexican restaurant and saying that it will be "serving the freshest Mexican and Latin food with rumba and drink of all types!" The poster says that the new spot could be opening sometime next month, though no specific opening date has been given as of yet.
Bruno's Bar + Burger, which first opened in early 2015, closed its doors in August of 2016 but reopened--apparently under new ownership--a couple of months later.
The address for the upcoming Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina is 858 Western Avenue, Lynn, MA, 01905. Its Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/brunostequilabar/
[June 19 update: A Facebook post from the place indicates that Bruno's Tequila Bar & Cocina has its grand opening on Saturday, June 22.]

KKatie's Burger Bar in Quincy Has Closed
by Marc Hurwitz
A group of burger bars on the South Shore has gotten a little smaller--for now, at least--as its closest location to Boston has shut down.
A source told us a week ago that KKatie's Burger Bar in Quincy Center was going to be closing, with a thread from the Quincy Is Everything Facebook group confirming that it has indeed shuttered and that a sign out front at the Hancock Street spot refers customers to its locations in Marshfield, Plymouth, and Hyannis. The note also mentions that the restaurant plans to move "nearby," though it is not known whether it might reopen in Quincy or in another community in the immediate area.
The Quincy location of Kkatie's first opened in December of 2016, moving into a space within the West of Chestnut luxury apartment complex.
The address for the now-closed Kkatie's in Quincy Center was 1440 Hancock Street, Quincy, MA, 02169. The website for the existing locations can be found at http://www.kkaties.com/

Best Burger Bar in Brookline Village Has Closed
by Marc Hurwitz
[Ed note: This article was updated to reflect the possibility that the restaurant could be reopening at some point.]
A burger spot that had a legendary mixologist behind its cocktail program has closed its doors.
According to a couple of sources, Best Burger Bar in Brookline Village is no longer in business, with the Station Street spot apparently closing over the past couple of days. The dining and drinking place was a casual burger bar that featured drinks created by Brother Cleve, a well-known local figure who was called "the Godfather of Boston's cocktail revival" by the eatery and who also played keyboards for the popular Boston rock band the Del Fuegos.
Best Burger Bar first opened in the summer of 2017, taking over the space where the Middle Gray had once been.
The address for this now-closed restaurant and bar in Brookline Village was: Best Burger Bar, 6 Station Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.
[December 6 update: The Boston Globe states that Best Burger Bar may be reopening under new management, with the place possibly opening its doors once again in a couple of weeks.]

hop + grind, Amigo's Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar Coming to The Promenade at Northshore Mall in Peabody
by Marc Hurwitz
It looks like more dining options are coming to a section of a suburban mall that is being renovated.
According to a press release, hop + grind and Amigo's Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar are both planning to open at The Promenade at Northshore Mall, joining The Bancroft, which has already opened, and Tony C's, which appears to be on the verge of opening. A Patch article mentions that the original hop + grind is a burger and craft beer bar in Durham, NH, that is a new concept from the team behind the Tuckaway Tavern & Butchery, an award-winning restaurant and meat market in Raymond, NH, while little is known about Amigo's Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar other than the fact that it will be a "traditional" Mexican restaurant.
A couple of years ago, it was reported that the Tuckaway Tavern & Butchery was looking to open somewhere along Route 1 in Saugus, possibly opening at the site of the old Hilltop Steak House, but those plans seemed to have fallen through. As reported earlier, the dining spot has received a number of awards since opening in 2012, including New Hampshire Magazine giving it best steak tips (2012), best new restaurant (2013), best butcher shop (2014-2016), best burger (2016), and best lobster roll (2016), according to a page on the restaurant's site.
If all goes as planned, both hop + grind and Amigo's Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar will open this fall at The Promenade at Northshore Mall.
[September 20, 2019 update: A Facebook post within the Wicked Bites Foodie Group mentions that hop + grind is now open at Northshore Mall.]

Plans for Worthy Kitchen to Open in Brookline Village Have Fallen Through
A highly-anticipated farm-to-table spot with roots in Vermont--and which is known mostly for its burgers and local craft beers--will not be coming to the local area after all.
According to people we talked to at Worthy Burger in South Royalton, VT, plans for their other place--Worthy Kitchen in Woodstock, VT--to open in Brookline Village have fallen through, with the issue apparently having something to do with the building in which it was hoping to move into on Washington Street in Brookline Village. When asked if the team might look at another location for the eatery, we were told that nothing is in the works for now. Plans for the place to come to Brookline were first announced in April of 2016, and at the time, it appeared that it could open as soon as late last year.
Worthy Burger, which first opened in 2012 in an old freight house in South Royalton, quickly became a media and industry darling for its wood-fired burgers and impressive local craft beer list. The following year, Worthy Kitchen opened in Woodstock, with the place offering burgers as well as other comfort food items. Both spots are run by Dave Brodrick (who founded the Blind Tiger in New York), Executive Chef Jason Merrill, and CFO Kurt Lessard.
The address for Worthy Kitchen would have been 202 Washington Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.

Best Burger Bar Is Opening in Former Middle Gray Space in Brookline Village
A new burger place is on its way to Brookline, and it will be taking over the space where a multi-concept spot had been until closing this spring.
According to a source, Best Burger Bar is planning to open in Brookline Village, moving into the former Middle Gray space on Station Street. It appears that the new eatery will be a casual burger bar that features burgers made with dry-aged beef, and that it could be opening sometime in early to mid-July if all goes as planned. A page on the town website confirms that the place is indeed coming, saying that a meeting took place today that included discussion on installing new signage for Best Burger Bar in the old Middle Gray space.
The Middle Gray, which first opened in August of 2015, included a coffee shop/cafe, art gallery, wine bar, and performance space.
The address for Best Burger Bar is 6 Station Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.
[June 26 update: A message from Patrick Maguire of Maguire Promotions & Hospitality Consulting indicates that Best Burger Bar still plans to open in July, and that it will feature drinks by local cocktail legend Brother Cleve, who also played keyboards for the popular Boston rock band the Del Fuegos.]
[July 26 update: A couple of job posts within the Craigslist site indicate that Best Burger Bar is now hiring and is asking people to come by tomorrow and Friday to pick up or drop off job applications. One of the posts also mentions that Brother Cleve will be their head mixologist, calling him "the Godfather of Boston's cocktail revival."]
[August 8 update: A press release says that Best Burger Bar opens on Thursday, August 10, with burgers, hot dogs, wings, boozy milkshakes, craft cocktails, and more being offered. The release also mentions that the new restaurant will have a 10-seat patio, and live entertainment will be included during the week.]

A pair of burger bars is back down to one, as its newer location has shut down.

We...look forward to serving you at our flagship [location on Centre Street in JP] which will continue to remain open." The Washington Street eatery first opened last March, taking over the space where Tonic had been; the Centre Street location has been in business since the spring of 2012.

KKatie's Burger Bar to Open In Quincy
A trio of burger bars on the South Shore will be opening a fourth spot south of Boston, and this location will be its closest one yet to the city.
The Patriot Ledger is reporting that KKatie's Burger Bar is planning to open at the upcoming West of Chestnut luxury apartment complex, which will be located by the corner of Chestnut Street and Cottage Avenue on the eastern edge of the downtown area. Once it opens later this year, the new burger spot will join another restaurant within the development--a new location of Fuji, which JP Fuji Group is opening there.
KKatie's Burger Bar currently has locations in Plymouth and Marshfield, with a third shop coming to Hyannis this summer [ed note--now open]. The Marshfield location has been featured by our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) as a place to go to for burgers and beer, with the review being found below:

Grass Fed Is Opening a Second Location in Jamaica Plain
Last year we reported that a burger bar in Jamaica Plain was looking to expand, and now we have learned that a second location will indeed be opening--and it won't be all that far from their original restaurant.
Eater Boston is reporting (via Jamaica Plain News) that Grass Fed on Centre Street is planning to open another location in the Forest Hills section of the neighborhood, taking over the space on Washington Street where Tonic had been before closing for good in 2013. The articles say that the new eatery will have an 18-foot bar along with restaurant seating inside, and an outdoor "beer garden" style patio will be set up in the back during the warmer months. If all goes as planned, the new Grass Fed could be opening in February of 2016.
The former Tonic space had also been looked at by The Wok in Wellesley last year, though those plans apparently fell through.
The address for the new location of Grass Fed in the Forest Hills area of JP is 3698 Washington Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130. The restaurant's website can be found at http://www.grassfedjp.com/
[November 5 update: A new article in the Jamaica Plain News mentions that the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council's Public Service Committee has approved of Grass Fed's plans for a second location, including its requests for a liquor license and patio as well as a proposed closing time and delivery/takeout services; the next step is for the City of Boston to make a decision on the dining spot, with a meeting coming up on November 18.]

Eater Boston is reporting (via Jamaica Plain News) that Grass Fed on Centre Street is planning to open another location in the Forest Hills section of the neighborhood, taking over the space on Washington Street where Tonic had been before closing for good in 2013. The articles say that the new eatery will have an 18-foot bar along with restaurant seating inside, and an outdoor "beer garden" style patio will be set up in the back during the warmer months. If all goes as planned, the new Grass Fed could be opening in February of 2016.

PYT May Be Expanding to Boston
It looks like the "home of America's craziest burgers" may be coming to Boston.
Eater is reporting (via Zagat) that PYT in Philadelphia has plans to expand nationally, with New York City and Washington, DC, being the first cities that will see locations of the burger bar, while Boston will "probably" be the next city in line. It looks like franchise locations of PYT will eventually open up and down the I-95 corridor, then possibly in other parts of the country. (The Zagat article also says that Florida and Portland could see locations open, though it does not specify whether it would be Portland, ME, or Portland, OR.)
PYT's menu includes some rather unusual items, such as chicken waffle sliders, cheeseburgers with chocolate-covered bacon on a glazed donut bun, burgers made with a mix of lobster and crab, and a shake with whipped cream vodka and crushed oreo cookies. Zagat also says that the restaurant has served deep-fried Twinkie burgers and burgers with buns made of fried lasagna, though neither appears to be on the online menu right now.

Owner of Stella in Boston's South End Considers Opening a Burger Place
It looks like the chef/owner of an Italian restaurant in the SoWa district of Boston's South End may be thinking about joining the burger craze.
A Boston Globe article on possible 2012 restaurant trends includes a post from Evan Deluty of Stella on Washington Street, who predicts affordable burgers being a possible trend for the year. In the post, Deluty also indicates the possibility of being part of the trend, stating that he is "looking at potentially doing a burger place." The chef/owner of Stella also looks at restaurants that are playing a role in the burger craze, including Wahlburgers in Hingham, Tasty Burger in the Fenway (which is planning to expand), and Burger Dive, which hopes to open in Somerville's Assembly Square.
Stella is a chic yet affordable Italian eatery in SoWa that features such dishes as grilled Italian sausage, spicy mussels, grilled pizza, tagliatelle bolognese, house-made gnocchi, honey-glazed salmon, and seared duck breast. The address for the restaurant is 1525 Washington Street (next to Blackstone Square).

Grass Fed Burger Bar to Open in Jamaica Plain
Last month we mentioned a rumor about a burger bar possibly coming to Jamaica Plain, and now this has been confirmed, as the owner of another JP restaurant will be opening a place called Grass Fed.
According to Eater Boston, a post on the Ten Tables Twitter page states that Grass Fed will be moving into the former Bon Savor space on Centre Street (in the same block as Ten Tables), with an expected opening date of February 1. This rumor started back in late November during a Boston Globe food chat, as it was mentioned that Krista Kranyak--the owner of Ten Tables--was planning to open a burger bar within the Bon Savor space (Bon Savor closed its doors a couple of weeks after the chat).
This will be the fourth restaurant opened by Krista Kranyak, who has two other locations of Ten Tables in Cambridge and Provincetown.
[January 4, 2012 update: A bit more information on Grass Fed--according to their Facebook page, the restaurant will be featuring grass-fed beef burgers ground fresh daily as well as salads, sandwiches, fish burgers, and veggie burgers.]
[March 27, 2012 update: According to their Facebook page, Grass Fed is officially opening tomorrow (Wednesday, March 28) at 11:00 AM.]
The address for this upcoming burger bar in Jamaica Plain will be: Grass Fed, 605 Centre Street, Boston, MA, 02130.
