| - Decemburger Do-over?
The Yonge St. location didn't impress me a month and a half ago, and the Laird locatoin (the original) didn't impress me tonight. I'm not saying the place sucks, just that it's nothing special.
I'm once again baffled by the topping selection. There are some really cool options (wasabi mayo, guacamole, horseradish mayo), but it's difficult to find a set of two or three that go well together. Today I had Jalapeno Monterey Jack, jalapenos, tomatoes, black olives and guacamole. Quite good, though I overdid it a bit on the guac. My bad.
Shari "eternal optimist" M was of the opinion that the bun was crusty on the outside, and soft on the iniside. My term for this was "stale." Patty was better than last time, and I was reminded that it's hormone, antibiotic and filler free - nothing like myself, but strangely enjoyable. Last time it seemed like the burger had some weird filler or binding agent - I stand correcteed.
The onion rings are tasty, but lose their heat very quickly and are a bit too crispy/crunchy for my liking. Still, everyone should try these once - they're made with red onions and I swear there's rosemary or something in the batter.
Tried the milkshake this time, too. Not exciting. Made from hand-scooped, premium icecream and frresh milk, but still tasted like chalky syrup. Weird.
