Best burger restaurant in New England? 7 gems worth the road trip

WoMag editor Victor D. Infante talks about this week's big stories in Friday's issue of Worcester Magazine, available in the Telegram & Gazette, Also, he did not realize when he filmed this that he was wearing the same shirt as he did last week. He apologizes for the fashion faux pas.

From fast food joints to steakhouses, just about every style of restaurant serves up the American classic, but that doesn't mean they do it justice. Check out this roundup of some favorite burgers around New England, including the Battle Burgers at Worcester's Polar Park!

So, yesterday I was listening to the livestream of @vornietom and @isab@utta talk about their forthcoming film, "The Greatest Treasure In the World.@" At one point, the discussion turned toward Hemet, California, and I made a wisecrack in the chat about a very uncomfortable poetry reading Lea and I did there many years ago. Obviously, it wouldn't have been appropriate to elaborate at the time, so I thought I'd make a video and tell the story of how we traumatized a very small crowd with poetry in Hemet. I am now wondering if I should make more videos talking about the worst gigs I've ever had. Leave me a comment if you want more of this! #BadPoetryReadings #hemetcalifornia #TheGreatestTreasureInTheWorld

Sunday, @massmusicmama invited me down to #WCUW to talk to musicians about PR. It was a five minute speech. Here's the longer version! Hope it does someone out there some good!

Saturday, I was on a panel at the National Baseball Poetry Festival, moderated by the wonderful Karen Elizabeth Sharpe. Now, I have, to my recollection, never written anything that could be construed as a "baseball poem," so instead, I opted to read a poem by the late poet Jack McCarthy, "The Walk of Life." Alas, I grabbed the wrong book on my way out the door to The White Room, where the panel was held, and ... as the text of the poem appears to not be online ... I had to make do with an excerpt, which happened to be in an essay I wrote some years ago. I made do with what I had, but I promised to put the poem online in some form. So here's a video of me reading Jack's poem, and talking a little about it. Thanks to Karen, Steven Biondolillo, and everyone at the National Baseball Poetry Festival for having me out, and I hope this video makes amends for my omission.#NationalBaseballPoetryFestival #poetry #JackMcCarthy #Worcester
