newsletter #57 -- our customer of the year

Hey Everyone, ?

The dream of eating free house-ground burgers for 365 days has a strange, seductive power over women. ?

It's a power we knew early in life that we didn't possess. (Yes, it's something you know when you stand alone at middle school dances debating why Larry Bird is better than Magic Johnson. And when you spend Saturday nights in high school watching COPS in Anthony's parents' basement.) ?

But, unlike us, the promise of not paying for burgers for an entire year has that kind of power. ?

It drove this woman to hand-paint a foot-stool two years ago. And it compelled this Harvard student to hand-knit a "ham-hog" last year. ?

This year, the dream of being our Customer of The Year made this aspiring artist write an "epic" sonnet and draw a beautiful picture. ?

So today, we're honoring our greatest patron by giving her a year of free burgers and by unveiling the greatest "special" we've ever added to our menu. ?

Yes, we've decided to bring back "The Bomb", one of our most popular sandwiches of all time. Just like it was on our original menu on Dartmouth Street, The Bomb has sautéed onions, mushrooms, red peppers, and cheddar cheese on a whole-wheat baguette. (The only difference is we're now making it with your choice of beef, chicken, turkey, or a veggie burger.) ?

To make sure our family comes to eat it first, we're serving up The Bomb all day today with free fries or sweet potato fries. ?

To get your free fries or sweet potato fries, just print this out, visit any b.good, AND BUY "THE BOMB" anytime today, February 12th. ?

No copies or forwards. Violators aren't just subject to paying for fries. They're subject to Manny, our dancing grill-guy in Harvard Square who's been with us since the first day we first opened in 2004. With that much experience, Manny hasn't just made thousands of bombs. He's also developed the ability to make them while dancing, singing, and screaming, "Come on people… come to Manny". A man coordinated enough to bust-a-move, sing a song, and perfectly sauté a bomb should terrify any of the haters who'll try to take advantage of our love for family. ?

As always, if you know anyone who likes writing sonnets about fast-food restaurants or anyone else who wants to be loved like family, forward this and tell them to join ours at bgood.com. ?

P.S. Our family has always helped spread our love. But, now we've figured out a way to express our gratitude for the kinfolk who do. So, when you help us adopt your friends into our weird, happy family, we can make sure there are some hand-cut slices of potato love in your mailbox. (And if you invite lots of friends, we can make sure that your mail-carrier delivers the kind of love that's house-ground and hand-packed.) ?

P.P.S. When you have a big, beautiful family, who needs "friends"? Well, we thought it'd be nice if we could consider you both. So, we made this facebook page. ?

P.P.P.S Sadly, our dream of watching a man run the Boston Marathon dressed as a hamburger was crushed last week. (The family member who offered to do it for charity last month regained his sanity.) But, if there are any runners out there demented enough to consider running 26 miles in a burger suit, drop us a note. We'll start fundraising for your charity immediately. ?
