Dinner: Burger and fries at Boss Burger, a new place in Albany. It’s got a little hole-in-the-wall feel, though it’s clean and hipster. The burger was truly exceptional. Not too big, lots of flavor, great meat. The fries were not to my loving, though they were pretty good. I feel like fries should be skinny to maximize the fried part to the pasty potato inside… these were a little on the wide side. Still, this place is bound to be a favorite.
