| - Lately I've been researching a project on the King-Spadina neighbourhood, so I thought "When in Rome, eat at Craft Burger."
I rolled over to the burger joint and ordered myself a vegetarian Spicy Craft burger and a chocolate milkshake. For a simple meal weighing in over $13, I chalked it up as field work and sat down at a table.
I figured I'd continue working on my paper while I waited, and plugged in my computer only to find that there is no wifi. Oh well. I also found that the table was oddly low and the booth was too high. I'm not that tall and found the height difference bothersome, enough to write about it, and figure other people must have been uncomfortable sitting at those tables too.
As for my food, eh. What's the big deal? My veggie burger was a typical veggie patty, with that perfectly puck-like shape and concealed edges, and the onions and spicy mayo were OK. The lettuce and tomato weren't so great. The bun, however, was good, and for that I was thankful. The milkshake was good, too, and I'd recommend it.
Maybe it's because I am a vegetarian but I don't get why this place is so amazing; it's cramped and the food is so-so. They also couldn't pronounce my name (OK, I know some people have it a lot worse off than I do) and played a ton of rap music; I felt like I was clubbing while eating a burger.
