Voted as the “Best Burger” by viewers of CTV news, Burgers Etc.’s burgers indeed live up to its fame. There are only two types of burger on the menu – beef and chicken. Like other burger joints, you are given toppings such as bacon, cheese, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions etc. I loaded my beef burger (who would eat chicken burgers where there is beef?) with cheddar, mushrooms, onions, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, mayo and the ULTIMATE topping: a perfectly fried egg. When the server brought the burger to my table, I couldn’t stop being amazed at how huge it is! It was gigantic; it was ONE FOOT in height:
Okay, maybe the burger was not a foot tall, but after multiple greedy attempts, I finally concluded there is no way I am able to take one complete bite out of it. What followed was the classic messy burger-eating experience with juice dripping down my wrist and toppings falling all over the table. But I didn’t mind making a mess as only good burgers could be eaten messy.
Besides burgers, there are also perfectly barbecued pulled pork and beef briskets:
Oh yeah, did I mention the fries? The fries come as a side but we upgraded it to chili fries:
In the past, I have tried other burger joints that claimed to have “the best burgers in town” and every time I was disappointed. Burgers Etc. is an exception and I was lucky enough to learn about it – perhaps not so lucky for the cows though as I plan to go back again and again and drag along just about anyone.
This is for you, L, who has the best taste in burgers and who I dragged to have gigantic burgers twice in 3 days.
