| - I was hoping for a good burger experience in my own backyard of Mississauga.
I'm sad to say that would not be the case.
Situated in the heart of historic Streetsville where our beloved Mayor Hazel McCallion likes to roam, Burger Legend is yet another burger joint vying for that coveted gourmet burger title.
Street parking during lunch time can be a difficult to find as there are no private lots, but with some determination and driving around, you should have no trouble.
I arrived at Burger Legend one weekday afternoon around lunch hour. There was only one single soul in the restaurant. The bar styled tables were high in stature, transparent glass.
The attendant, a nice lady on her iPad order system recommended the Great One. I opted for the classic instead: mixed greens, tomatoes, their special :Bawsss" sauce, cheddar cheese. I told her that I would like mine without tomatoes please, and pleae also add grilled onions, pickles. I also ordered a side of fries to go along with the burger.
15 minutes later, my meal was delivered to my table.
First impressions were not good.
Because, for one, the fries looked miserable in its cup. Dark, wet, mushy and wilted. I guess only the burgers get the fresh treatment. Biting into my fries - it was very soft and mushy, not the usual crisp crunch I'm used to. Heck, even your standard McDonald's, Burger King makes better fries. Burger Legend's fries seem to have sat in the deep fryer far too long and they absorbed all of that oil, resulting in a limpy, darkened soggy fries. Not to mentioned, an overly amount of grease lingered on my fingers.
None too pleased I put the fries down and hoped the burger would be better.
The burgers too were wet and soggy, and I immediately noticed a thick slice of tomatoes when I had asked for none. I could feel all of their special sauce had dripped off underneath the wrapper of the burger, resulting in a cold touch. I hope the burger wasn't the same.
Thank goodness, the burger patty itself was hot and fresh. However, because of the cooler temperature of the sauce interacting with the hot burger, the sogginess of the buns came through and also made the mixed chopped lettuce very wet and soggy as well. The burger bun, despite it being toasted on the outside was very mushy and full of moisture on the inside.
I could barely held the burger together.
The way my burger was put together lacked finesse, the mark of an inexperienced cook. For a $10 meal, (free can of pop if you check in on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram) I expected an elevated burger experience.
I hope they improve going forward in their presentation and technique. The lucrative fresh hamburger market is at an all time high and Burger Legend could one day live up to its name - if they want to!
