2010 marks the 60th birthday of Dunkin Donuts, founded in Quincy and now located everywhere, and 50th birthday of Mr. Bartley's Burgers, founded and still located in Harvard Square. What better way to celebrate these local institutions than with—you guessed it—a donut burger? This weekend is the perfect time to create the caloric concoction you've always dreamed of.
Bartley's does not, shockingly, have this as a birthday special on the menu, but thanks to the ubiquitousness of Dunkin locations, it won't be so hard to make your own. Just grab two donuts—regular if you're conservative, Boston Kreme if you dare—from the Dunkin Donuts at 1 Bow Street, then trundle down to Mr. Bartley's on Mass Ave in Harvard Square. Or, if you're taking the T to Harvard, grab your donuts from the Dunkin in the T station. Convenience at its finest!
It's supposed to be relatively nice (low 40s) this weekend, so you can saunter on over to the APB plaza to construct and enjoy your creation, or perhaps even stroll down JFK to the river. The benches by the Charles will be perfect for you to rest on as you recover from eating thousands of calories of donutburger.
If you do take the Boston Birthday Challenge and eat a Dunkin/Bartley's burger (proposed name: Dunkley Burger), This Is Why You're Fat compilation.
