Most memorable dishes of 2010

Back Bay Social Club’s burger got plenty of attention, much of it for the sandwich’s price tag: $21. For a burger? Well, yes. Because this 10-ounce patty is made from a blend of dry-aged prime rib, short rib, flank, and skirt that is so full of steak-y flavor, so juicy after searing on the griddle, you won’t feel cheated. It does not hurt, either, that it’s topped with Vermont cheddar and caramelized onions cooked down for hours into a sweet, intense jam. 867 Boylston St., Boston. 617-247-3200. www.backbaysocialclub.com
