But Couldn’t They Have Found Another Name?

We approve of the concept, but … “Griddlers”? Ah, well. The cutely named grill soft opens tonight on Cambridge Street in Beacon Hill, replacing the Federal. Clearly it’s a burger-y kind of day here on Grub Street: Griddlers sells burgers, naughtily topped hot dogs (bacon, sour cream, Thousand Island, etc.), and shakes. In fact, one shake is made with Frosted Flakes-infused milk, underscoring today’s news that cereal really is dessert in disguise. Griddlers is the latest offering from Boston Nightlife Ventures, the team who runs Noche and Forum. Check it out tonight between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.; word is that it officially opens on Monday.
