Forget Gourmet Burger, if you want a real burger go to Great Burger Kitchen in Toronto East! Their burgers are the real stuff without any weird fillers that make the meat taste rubbery.
The toppings are real, fresh vegetables and their buns are organic. I think the burgers are a bit bready on the very outsides but once you get into the actual burger, it is very meaty!
Their fries are great too! It's not at all like New York fries, but more like the fresh cut potato fries that you get from the trucks - very homemade.
The onion rings are not too battered and real onions are used, unlike many fast-food places. My friend has also said the chicken burger is delicious.
Like many burger places, I recommend take-out to save yourself the drink cost. The place is small and on a busy weekend, you may not be able to snatch a seat. Although this place is close to a school, I agree with my brother (who is a student) that it's a little out of the price-range for students.
And speaking of students, I don't think it would hurt them to hire some older and more personable students to work there rather than the 2 teens that I saw. I have nothing against hiring teens, I used to serve burgers as a teen at a fast-food joint myself... but it really doesn't help distinguish them from a fast-food chain. If only they could have someone at the front that's more knowledgeable about the products and could make recommendations etc.
