Phantom Gourmet: Mainely Burgers In Cambridge

“Mainely Burgers is a summer business that my brother started in 2012. And we’ve seen it grow in Maine as a food truck business for 5 years. And then finally, here we are sitting at 704 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge’s Central Square in our very first brick and mortar restaurant,” said Max.

Phantom Gourmet: Mainely Burgers In Cambridge
CAMBRIDGE (CBS) - In Central Square Cambridge, there's a restaurant where the central focus is mainly on burgers...and that place is named Mainely Burgers. While burgers are definitely what this place is all about, the name actually comes from the great state of Maine, where owners Max and Jack Barber, and the business itself, were born.
