Boom Boom Burgers opens with a social media blast.
Posted Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 12:00 AM
Boom Boom opened yesterday and promptly filled with customers thanks to Eftekhari's tweets, Facebook updates and YouTube videos, highlighting what's different about the business. “We want to serve nutritionally dense foods and we want to use social media to do that,” the former corporate professional says. “I think consumers are making decisions more based on ingredients now,” which means he's working with small farmers for goods to make his own ketchup and aioli, and to supply mushrooms, sweet potatoes and cheeses, in addition to the Polyface goods.
Burgers include the Mrs. Boom (Colby, ketchup and pickles for $7.50), the classic, which adds grilled onions and Boom sauce; and meat-free cheese melts for $5 and $6. The business serves Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. with more evening hours starting next week.
Read Style for more details about this business, which is designed to grow into a multi-unit concept with sights on VCU and Charlottesville.

I've never been to Boom Boom. We have so many farmers in our area. With gas prices going up and up every second of the day, we need to support our local farmers. This way, you're not paying fuel surcharge that's added to "grocery" store foods. I can say, our family has been ONE YEAR with NO industrial meat! Thanks to Deer Run Farm in Amelia, we have come to LOVE our Grass Fed Beef and they have TRUE, free roaming chickens! The chickens are yellow, unlike the white chickens you find at industrial grocery stores, no peroxide sprayed on these chickens. And the eggs produced by these happy chickens are to die for! Starting May 7, you can find Deer Run Farm at South of the James Farmers Market (Forest Hill Park), by far the largest Farmers Market in Richmond. They will also be at the St. Stephens Church Farmers Market, located at Grove Ave.
