Cambridge: Forget the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. We have been told that there are Harvard professors who will not rest until they have namesake burgers on the menu at Mr. Bartley’s Gourmet Burgers (1246 Massachusetts Ave., 617-354-6559, www.mrbartley.com). The seven-ounce burgers are ground fresh daily and come in more than 30 named variations. Cash only (“real food, real money”)
