...Ehrlich won the lifetime supply of burgers from b.good, the new burger joint on Dunster Street that opened yesterday, by writing an essay professing his love of burgers and lack of girlfriends, which he says enables him to be more committed to fast food consumption.“My blatant lack of a love life will make me a better cousin,” Ehrlich said, referring to the name of the restaurant’s main burger, the “Cousin Oliver.” “Don’t you worry about me missing...
