| - Last night a friend recommended I try Burrito Brothers on Lakeshore at the foot of Brown's Line. After my delicious Burrito in a bowl, I decided to head down the block, well two doors down and what do I see but this busy little spot called Woody's Burger. I took a peek inside and the patties seemed nicely charred, the fries lovingly golden brown. I meandered on in for a closer look and decided right then there I had to go back, TOMORROW, which turned out to be today and it was definitely one of my best decisions ever!
With the rain out tonight, the patio was, well, inhospitable, so I decided to double up with "some guy" sitting alone. He was clearly a regular as he enjoyed his burger with focused intention. A short conversation later confirmed him to be a full time regular. Waiting for my chow, he asked if I was getting fries, I confirmed, prompting him to recommend the Chipotle Mayonnaise as the right companion.
Woody's isn't a blast in for a burger and bolt out kind'a place as the burger takes a good 10 - 15 minutes to cook. The upshot is that it's so fantastically good that I was quite happy to savour every moment. When it comes to fries, they have both sweet potato and potato, a mix in a single order is available; the sweet potato with their custom ketchup is a good pairing as was the other.
I had the Alpine Beef Burger with Swiss Cheese, smoked bacon, sautéed mushroom & onion and Dijon mustard. Everything, absolutely everything, was cooked fresh with my order and it was amazing. With all the gourmet burger joints popping up, most of which I've tried, Woody's is hands down the best. Not only do I recommend it, I think I'm going to take everyone I know!
