| - The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro has been a staple when it comes down to satisfying your deepest beef patty cravings. The menu is impressively (or ridiculously) large with burger choices, at least 20 to choose from. If you are indecisive, this maybe a bit overwhelming but your burger has to be here, somewhere...
More than that, it offers a huge selection of other favorites like wraps, salads, sandwiches along with their respectable sidekicks like poutine, onion rings, fried pickle spears, gluten free items, milkshakes and of course booze.
What propelled me to visit was their Baconism II menu offered for a limited time only. So to answer the question, "is bacon a dead trend?" I had everything bacon for lunch.
Starting with the classic Works usual suspects, I tip-toed in to my meal with crispy fried dill pickle spears. Dipped in buttermilk ranch, they were crispy, dilly and very satisfying. Best fried pickles I've had so far!
The Six Degrees of K'vin Bacon is one of 3 limited burgers on the Baconism II menu. A bacon and beef patty, Canadian bacon, smoked bacon, bacon ketchup, bacon roasted garlic aioli and bacon sticks sandwiched between two buns.
One bite will make you squeal and remember why bacon is even a thing. I've never had something with so much bacon in it that it made me forget what bacon tasted like. That's what being overwhelmed with bacon feels and tastes like.
To balance the piggy goodness, I sampled The Hipster Burger as well. Topped with caramelized onions, avocado and Havarti cheese, it's certainly a more tamed experience which was also very enjoyable. You have the chance to taste the quality of the patty in this one, I like that. Medium rare, a bit pink inside, at least the option was there and makes for a better burger eating experience.
As sides, I had fries and onion rings which were both deliciously crispy and ideal versions of themselves. Nothing is worse than soggy onion rings or a fry that leaves you wanting another from somewhere else. These don't force you to cheat on your food, I guess you call them guilt free...?
Last, I destroyed a Bacontella Shake with Nutella, Canadian ice cream, smoked bacon all topped with whip and more bacon. If you like thick creamy milkshakes with the undeniable combo of sweet and salty, this one's for you kid.
Overall, I liked the location and space. Having a window seat was nice as the sun poured in and having a nice view of the busy streets in front. The service had nothing to complain about and the food was reasonable for the prices. I didn't have the best burger here, but it definitely was better than average.
