| - Last night the usual suspects from the Yelp Burger Brigade assembled to do battle with the classic burger offerings from Big Jack's. Located near Woodbine and Hwy 7, this is the old Prime Burger location with a fresh look... and taste!
Everything about their menu is pretty amazing, traditional burgers with their own kick and touch in the ingredient department. I mean the Redneck burger has peamale bacon that has been battered with crumbled potato chips and deep fried for god sake! And they have more meats to toss on your meat than your physician would recommend.
Turning off my "Common sense" button (as I tend to do regularly at these gatherings or MEAT-ups if you will). I followed the example of recent edition to the brigade Ryan F, and went for the biggest and meanest burg they had --The BIG ONE.
The Big one is 2 patties, 2 pieces of peamale (not redneck style), a fried egg, and regular bacon all piled between two grilled cheese sandwich buns. I topped that bad boy with the "suggested toppings" which were tomato, onions and whiskey bbq sauce, and voila a coronary concoction fit for a king!
It was so gosh darn big that I nearly unhinged my jaw a lá a Boa Constrictor or Anaconda just to git a bite in. It was awesome!!! flavours went well together, the bun stayed together on account of the cheese in between holding it together, the slices of peamale bacon were HUGE, most places give you a tiny scrap of meat... this was a breakfast portion, and the whiskey BBQ sauce... well I'd drink it next time I go back and hope to catch a buzz.
We ordered and assortment of sides to share: fresh cut fries, onion rings and their Montreal Style Poutine. While the fries and onion rings were rather standard fare, the Montreal Style poutine was a beautifully displayed portion, huge in size and I was thrilled to hear that both the Cheese Curds AND the Gravy were imported from Montreal! Manifique!!
I'll return again, perhaps for something more reasonably sized. Who am i kiddin...
Eatcrest Out!
