| - Hmm...kinda on the fence on this one..I attended the newest mission of the GTA Burger Brigade and I was pretty stoked to try it, considering it was relatively close to my old neighborhood. Union burger defnintely had my attention as I chose the new Triple patty Bourbon St Burger. "Fresh made to order" was a slogan that was strewn across different signs on the restaurant, but finally getting my triple decker, bourbon flavored, cheesey burger...I was a little disappointed.. The burger itself seemed a little on the small side. I estimated the size to be 3 4oz burgers (12oz total), but when you compare it side to side with the single burgers that others in the brigade had (6oz patties) kinda feel a little cheaped off. The burger had all the marking of being cooked on a flattop grill (no grill marks, crusted edges) it seemed very dry. I personally love flattop burgers, because of the juiciness and the crust, but this burger puzzled me on why it was so dry. The pretzel bun that the burger was served on was also very chewy and I didn't enjoy it. The redeeming parts of this mission were not so much the burgers, but the side dishes! The buffalo chicken poutine....awesome...great taste! great portion size!. The french fries were good, but some were a little soggy, but a great taste!! Union burger also has an amazing beer special...$2.50 domestic bottles $3.50 import bottles!! every day!! you can even combo your meal with a beer, fries or salad for $3.74 All in all not a bad burger experience, but the next time I think I will try one of the single burgers and one of the highly advertised milkshakes!
