The Late-Night Burger This Chef Always Comes Back To

Chef Chompon “Boong” Boonnak, co-owner of Mahaniyom and Merai Bar, heads to JM Curley, his go-to spot for a late-night burger with a shot and a beer. The burger has used the same recipe for 15 years, with Russian dressing, pickle brine, caramelized onions, melted cheese, and a house beef blend with no trimmings. To feed a crew, the table also gets a beer mac and cheese, battered buffalo wings, fried pickles, and a crunch wrap that one staffer calls the best thing on the menu. The bar is named after a famous Boston politician who pushed to repeal Prohibition-era liquor laws. If you’re wondering what to eat in Boston or looking for the best food spots for your next foodie night out, this Boston food guide pick is a chef-approved stop among the Boston restaurants worth knowing.
