"I’m not thrilled Boston apparently is getting yet another celebrity-backed chain: Jimmy Buffett’s famously ridiculous Margaritaville. Details are sparse — reps weren’t immediately available and the exact location is unclear — but the company confirmed on Facebook a summer opening and insisted “it’s about the attitude, not the latitude.” Margaritaville already operates 27 restaurants across the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean and is part of Buffett’s hospitality-and-gaming empire, and when it arrives in Boston it’ll serve items like “lava lava” shrimp, a fried chicken salad, seafood mac and cheese and, yes, a “cheeseburger in paradise,” plus a robust list of frozen and regular margaritas served in 22-ounce souvenir cups." - Terrence Doyle
