newsletter #46 -- our customer of the year

Hey Everyone,

The dream of eating free burgers for 365 days has a strange power over people.

See, a year ago, that house-ground, hand-packed fantasy drove a customer to hand-paint this foot-stool for our women's bathroom. And this year, it compelled a patron to knit this homemade "ham-hog" so that ? as she told us in her entry ? our family would have a pet.

So, while sewing a "ham-hog" and naming it "Herbert" isn't normal behavior for a Harvard honor student, it's what Pippa did to become our Customer of The Year.

Her pursuit of fast-food immortality has given us a beautiful, little animal that we'll always cherish as one of our own. (Oh, sweet, little Herbert, you're a good ham-hog... yes, you are.)

To honor the "special" kind of customer who'd knit and stuff a "ham-hog" for a fast-food family, we've decided to grill burgers today that are "special". And since it doesn't get any more special than homemade teriyaki sauce and spicy pineapple salsa on top of house-ground steak, we're re-releasing last winter's most popular special ? the "aloha burger". But, because we want our family to be the first to bite back into tropical paradise, we're making aloha burgers for you today before they're officially on the menu tomorrow.

Most important, though, we're serving up those hand-packed patties of Hawaiian pleasure with free fries or free crisp veggies all day long. To get free hand-cut, baked fries (or sweet potato ones in Harvard Square) or free crisp veggies, just print out this email, come by any b.good, and buy an "aloha burger" anytime today, February 21^st.

No copies or forwards. Violators aren't just subject to paying for fries or veggies. They're subject to b.good family member and Customer of The Year runner-up, Joe. Wearing a b.good t-shirt on Mt. Washington's summit is a pretty clear warning that this isn't the kind of guy who takes kindly to counterfeit newsletters. Tonight, Joe will be the muscle if any degenerates try to take advantage of our love for family. As always, if you know anyone who likes hand-knitting stuffed animals for fast-food restaurants or anyone else who wants to be loved like family, forward this and tell them to join ours at bgood.com.

Anthony & Jon

P.S. We can't wait for March to get here. And that's because after a winter of intense recipe testing, we're just about ready to unveil the greatest new line-up of salads ever created in a b.good kitchen. Oh yes, ingredients like edamame, toasted almonds, dried cherries, homemade sesame-ginger sauce, and toasted corn are coming. But, before they do, we're going to need some help naming one of our new, little, crisp babies. So, look for an email from us next month so you can name one of our new salads and eat it free for a year.
