Good morning everyone. After an accidental hiatus last week, I’m back with another review for my still far from famous Boston Burger Quest. I ended up at Flash’s in Back Bay with a large group of friends from my hometown of Littleton, Ma. Littleton is a small farm town known for its many banks and a large hill that people falsely claim you can see Boston from.I had never heard of Flash’s before yesterday. I have heard nothing good or bad about its food. Apparently, this establishment is known for its cocktail selection. Since I was going there anyway and they just so happen to have a burger on the menu I figured, why not give Flash’s a chance at burger blog greatness? Could this be the sleeper come from behind victory that dreams are made of? Could this lowly bar bring hope back and snap me out of my burger funk? Am I getting out of control with all these questions?! Let’s see…
I met a large group of friends at Flash’s, including Tina of Carrots N Cake fame. We thought it would be fun to take pictures of each other taking pictures of each other for our respective blogs. Aren’t we just the cutest things?
Enough screwing around, on to the burger! Upon first inspection the bun looked quite tasty. If you’ve paid attention to my other reviews, than you know a good bun scores major points with me. Crunchy on the outside, warm on the inside. The vegetables were fresh and in the perfect quantity, I didn’t have to discard anything. After I took the first bite however, I noticed something was distinctly missing… but what was it?
It was missing that feeling of disappointment that I had felt with the last 3 burgers. All overly dramatic nonsense aside, this burger was AWESOME. Everything about it was great. The bun was perfect, the veggies we fresh, the meat was delicious, the fries were perfectly seasoned, and it was almost the perfect burger. That’s right, almost.
While I truly loved this burger, I don’t feel I can give it a perfect score. I can however, give it the highest score I have given any burger in the great city to date. On the Jon Defreest scale of renewed passion and overwhelming deliciosity, I give the Flash’s Burger an unprecedented 9 out of 10!
This burger was so great I feel compelled to give the address of the bar so that others may enjoy their burger as much as I did. 310 Stuart Street Boston, MA 02116.
I'm also going to start ending every post with a polaroid from now on. Enjoy.

that burger looks SO delicious!!
You crack me up, Jonny. In all honesty, the burger looks delicious, but the mac and cheese at Flash's is to die for.. ok, maybe not that, but definitely fantastic.
Maybe you can do a 'Mac 'n Cheese' quest next?

Someone I was with had the mac and cheese and I certainly helped her when she couldn't finish it.
It was good, but I've had better. Parish Cafe on Boylston is my favorite.
I used to work in walking distance of this place and they have a very cheap lunch menu. It was so perfect, I haven't been here in years but I can vouch for many a good meal at Flash's
OK, I always thought it was just me that couldn't see Boston from that damn hill. There is NOTHING out that way but trees.
