Help Us Pick our Customer of the Year

Family Member #1 - JOSH

When I first moved to Boston, I came to b.good on a whim and I instantly fell in love with the food, the locations and the little blurbs about fries and being good. I would never do this song for anyone but b.good. I love this place. I hope you enjoy it and please vote for me.

Listen to Josh's rap.

Lyrics

After a show the only place I want to roll to is b good They got the oven bake fries that make me feel like I should caress the stomach cause now I'm slightly packing pounds When I'm on tour i tell all about how proud I am rep the fine city of Boston Where we got 4 locations that i tend to snack often Bring out of towners to the square for a Cousin Olivers I like my burgers with bacon extra sauce if you could Didn't think they could improve their menu ever Till they started baking cookies during colder weather Rain or shine there always open when i need to eat Got the late night on lock head to Dunster st for a treat See I'm dead serious about my food habits Cause the others don't have a family that supports the madness Spinach eating contests just for the fun of it And weekly family burgers to get the people excited You think I'm lying no I love it seriously my favorite spot When I want a quick bite for my normal walks

JUICY DREAMS

Dear B.Good,

What can I say? B.Good burgers are one of my favorite things, but they're also a sensitive subject. You see, this past year, I've been in serious hamburger withdrawal. That's right, I have just suffered through approximately 365 days of not being B.Good's Customer of the YearÑand it was painful. Sure, plenty of good things happened to me this year: I graduated from Harvard, I started a job that I love as an editor at Quilting Arts Magazine (yes, I'm a little weird), I moved into my own apartment, and I went on amazing vacations to New Zealand, Australia, and Mexico. But none of it was quite as joyful as it would have been with a B.Good burger to look forward to. Sure, I made it in to my beloved fast food joint once or twice, but now that I have real-life responsibilities (hello rent, good bye student discounts), I can't exactly afford to make eating out a regular indulgence.

For some reason, when it came to thinking of how I could express my utter adoration for B.Good's delectable patties, only one thing came to mindÑa Burger Pillow. And, actually, this is quite appropriate since I've been dreaming about B.Good burgers for an entire year. Not to mention the fact that burgers and pillows aren't really all that different: comforting goodness tucked inside a bun (or pillowcase). So, I spent a long evening/late night/early morning stitching up this fabric-food crossbreed. And, like a true B.Good burger, my pillow is topped with wholesome greens and a juicy slice of tomato.

So, while most people hope for sweet dreams, I've been enjoying a year full of juicy dreamsÑdreams full of longing for those succulent B.Good burgers that are really like no other.

I realize it might seem a little selfish to request to Customer of the Year twice, but I can assure you that no one would appreciate it more. I don't just eat burgersÑI live, love, and dream burgers. I hope you'll accept this small token of my never-ending love of B.Good and consider making me Customer of the Year once again!

Lots of Burger Lovin',

Hey Jon & Anthony-

So I don't know if this counts, because the project I'm gonna do for this thing isn't done yet, as the idea just came to me, but maybe it does, so here it is: I've been thinking for a while now that I wanted to make something for you guys as a holiday/birthday present, but up until now I couldn't figure out for the life of me what. I'm going to paint(with Casey's help), a better version of the sketch attached onto a piece of wood I got from Ikea a while back. It's supposed to belong to a shelf of some kind, but the thing fell apart in its making, and now I'm stuck with the wood piece. Well, soon you'll be stuck with the wood piece, but it'll have a nice picture on it.

As you can see in the sketch( it's pretty crude, I admit, the finished product'll look a lot better and less haphazard), it's a kind of b. good flag. On a background of impressionist splotches or psychedelic colors will be your logo, and the top and bottom will be stripes of alternating color behind two centering boxes. In the four corners will be stylized-iconic pictures of food, people, the Harvard square location, and the environment.

I love your restaurants and the food they vend, and everybody's always been so damn nice to me and my family, I can't help but want to give you something. It'll come to you guys soon- tomorrow if ya want a rush on it, more likely at the end of the weekend. It's on its way though, beware.

Best,
Vince

PS Attached you'll find two cell phone pics of the sketch I just made, as well as a picture of the wood the final product'll end up on. It's coming regardless of the outcome of the contest, no worries there either.

Hello Guys!

I am all-deserving of the customer of the year title for quite a number of reasons. First of all, I have a Healthworks membership that I pay for but rarely actually attend (fortunately I get a great deal through work) so I can maintain my b. good discount. And it actually evens out.

I've braved the cold wind-tunnel of Copley Square in all kinds of weather, in illness and health.

But most of all, I deserve to be your customer of the year because I created a b. good board game.

The premise is that you are a rabid b. good fan and have just received a coupon via the newsletter for a free burger. In your obsession, you have printed out 5 copies, and plan to cash in on burgers at all 5 locations, despite the fact that if you are caught you will have to face the wrath of Sam the marathon burger-er.

Object: To begin, you start out at downtown crossing to begin your burger pilfering travels with the bottom bun. As you progress in the game, you collect a piece of a complete burger (a b.good to be exact) at each location.

The first person who completes their burger gets to spin the wheels of food, which are three spinners containing menu items, and the losers get to pool their money together and buy whatever you land on (also convenient for when you are indecisive.) Because dammit, I WILL get free burgers somehow, even if I have to trick my friends into playing a boardgame that I made (and cheat).

Along the way you encounter very Boston-centric things that will advance you or delay you. If you land on an orange space with a spoke symbol, you get to pick up a LOUIE card, which allows you to move forward or backwards in the game (beyond the typical number spinner) depending on whether you get out of his way or not!
