Spice owners Joyce Bernstein and Larry Rosenthal have created an affordable, delicious, and nutritious alternative to McDonald’s in downtown Pittsfield. Inspired by the great drive-ins of California like In-N-Out Burger and Astroburger, Burger is a lofty, retro-style space that celebrates All-American fast food before it was corrupted by corporations. The classic burger ($3.99), with or without cheese, is served on a toasted pressed bun in a red plastic basket with lettuce, tomato and onion on the side. There are hot dogs ($2.49), chili cheese fries ($3.99) and thick shakes made with local High Lawn Farm milk. The service is as nostalgic as the decor: the cheerful, high school and college students who work here never stop smiling.
