Council President Matthew W. Mahan ’05, who does not have a burger named after him, said he had not seen the ingredients of the burger. But he predicted that it would have “a pretty healthy helping of meat [and] maybe some spicy mustard, because the guy’s got some edge.”

“I would definitely include a Diet Coke with the order,” Mahan added.

Mahan said he hopes to earn a Bartley’s burger himself.

“If I were able to pull off a concert at the stadium next fall, I’d probably deserve a burger of my own,” he said. “But until then I’ll probably defer to Larry Summers.”

He added that a “Matt Mahan” burger would include “a little bit of everything.”

“I’d go for a diversity of ingredients because I think this semester we’ve really tried to hit on a number of important topics,” he said, listing lobbying on Universal Keycard Access, extended party hours, the curricular review and the University’s planned expansion into Allston as some examples.

Summers admitted yesterday he had not yet been to Bartley’s to order the new patty but said he’s eager to try it. He said he stops by Bartley’s “from time to time.”

Bartley said the only Summers visit he could recall was a few months ago—when his dining companion suggested adding Summers to the menu.
