| - They make a good burger here. It's a tiny establishment across the street from the Beaches Cinema, not too far from where I live. My brother, Eric, first recommended this place to me and couldn't stop going on about it. Now, I'm pretty picky about burgers so when I finally tried it out I wasn't even expecting much, but was in for a nice surprise.
They make what I consider "classic burgers". Nothing too fancy, no ridiculous condiments or pretentious names here, just five basic and delicious options. Burger, cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, a vegetarian burger (two breaded, deep-fried portobellos with cheese) and finally their signature burger, "The Priest", which is a cheeseburger with additional portobello. Insane.
If you ask for "the works" all you get is the basic tomato, lettuce, onion, and a pickle which is in line with their unspoken mantra of "simpler is better". However if you want to get fancy you can also add fried onions or bacon for an extra loonie (I tried the fried onions on my double-cheeseburger, pretty amazing). Condiments are also kept to the basics: mayo, mustard and ketchup. That's a good thing because you wouldn't want anything competing against the taste of the beef, which is fresh-tasting and juicy, grilled to perfection (fresh-ground several times a day in small batches). Thankfully there are no additional spices added to the beef because it doesn't need it and in fact would ruin the subtle flavour. The prices are very reasonable and a double cheeseburger combo with fries and choice of drink only set me back around $12.
The owner has an almost religious fervour when it comes to his concept of the perfect burger, but there is no need to preach to the converted because I'm in full agreement with his vision. Super-friendly service, deep knowledge of all things burger-related and a firm commitment to quality really set this establishment apart from the competition. Ironically a Harvey's Hamburger is located almost right across the street and serves as a sobering reminder of everything The Burger's Priest stands against.
I've been there twice, started with a basic cheeseburger and then graduated to the double cheeseburger combo. The fries are awesome as well, thin, golden and crispy but still soft. I'm dying to try "The Priest", but have to space these excursions out to give my arteries a rest.
Anyway, I've found burger heaven and just pray that the owner can keep up this level of purity and excellence. Amen.
