| - Three stars plus one for the act of kindness they showed.
So many burgers, so little room in the waistline of my jeans. My burger quest continues this time out in the Riverdale neighbourhood. It was lunch, I was hungry, I needed quick and figured since it'd only been a couple of days from when I huffed back my last burger I could go for some cow on a bun. I looked east, I looked west and then decided on BSQM. Momma loves her burgers and I hadn't hit up this spot yet.
BSQM is about the size of my kitty-kat's condo, it's literally a shoebox, much like that of GBC. It's mostly about the takeout with seating for about a dozen or so. I sidled up to the cash register to order, opened up my wallet and discovered a missing debit card (insert the music from the shower scene in Psycho). Oh no. All I I had on me was a ten dollar bill. Prior reviews have noted that this place ain't cheap so Momma had some decisions to make. Something had to go. Today it was going to be the fries (sob).
I ordered a four ounce burger with goats cheese & caramelized onions with a cold drink. That cashed out at just over $9 bucks. The guy behind the cash asked me if I wanted fries and I tried hard to fight back the tears, took a deep breath and said "sorry dude, my debit card is MIA and all I've got is this tenner." Order was placed and I plunked myself down in a corner, all the while cursing the missing green piece of plastic that came between me and my golden spuds. It was an even more bitter pill to swallow as I watched two guys next to me inhaling their basket of fries.
The burger was decent. A bit chewy but edges were caramelized and the goat cheese added a lovely edge of sublime tang. These onions are not caramelized, they are simply sauteed with lots of pepper in them. The burger was pink in the middle as the juice ran out of it and I like this.
So the extra star...ok, well I'm sitting eating my burger and the order taker guy plunks a basket of fries on my table and says "here ya go girl...enjoy them!". Now that's an act of kindness that I can get down with! The fries were really hot, crispy and well cooked. Maybe they just tasted better because of the kindness they were delivered with.
As it turns out that wasn't the only act of kindness I witnessed during lunch. A young gal came in, having some bicycle lock issues and she asks the guys there if they can give her a drop of cooking oil and she explains her kryptonite lock is giving her fits. A minute later a young guy emerges from the back with a little plastic cup of oil and off she goes. She pops back in, all smiles, holding up her bike lock.
While the burgs may seem pricey this place has tons of really good burger karma. They sure know how to treat a gal well. As usual pics attached.
