| - Stopped in at Burger Stomper last night on the Danforth to take dinner out and back to our house. The first thing I noticed was that it doesn't have that "stay here and eat vibe" and, even more so, it has that "don't bring a baby here" vibe. It also has a less-obvious but still relevant "lactose intolerants steer clear" vibe. Thank God I'm not, eh?
We had an order of sweet potato fries, a poutine and the "Cheese Please" burger.
The sweet potato fries were ok, run-of-the-mill deep fried sweet potato. The poutine- meh- shredded mozzarella is not a replacement for cheese curds, ever. I'm pretty sure it's one of the ten commandments, written right there on those two stone scrolls, si?
Anyway....the Cheese Please burger was ri-goddamn-diculous. It had so much cheese on it that I didn't even find the meat until, like, way late. It was good- not cooked as much as I like it, but that's my psychosis and probably not yours.
What we didn't splurge on was a milk shake, which they are supposedly known for. Next time, next time.
The prices were much better than many of their gourmet burger joint counterparts, though, which is great. And their staff are super friendly and helpful.
We'll be back for a meal with less cheese. That burger needs a warning.
