Life Alive Seduces; Tasty Burger Does Medium Well

• Lindsay Crudele applauds vegan carryout Life Alive but finds the Cambridge eatery’s sandwich-naming conventions “cringe-inducing.” (C’mon, what’s so embarrassing about ordering a “Seductress”?) [Phoenix]

• Tasty Burger, humbly housed in a gas station, leaves Mat Schaffer lukewarm. Burgers aren’t bad; dogs taste like “canned meat.” Nitro nuggets, on the other hand, are must-trys. And the tofu burger annihilates its beefy brethren. [Herald]
