I'm not a religious person but hallelujah praise jeebus! a burger place in my hood that I love! I've heard (or rather "read" some of the reviews of this place on this little website here) about how artery-clogging the veggie burger is. I had to check it out for myself and because I've got a deathwish.
It's a tiny little place but air-conditioned! I would've opted to eat it in a park so I could die in nature with my veggie burger but gawddammit! it was too hot!
There are a few stools and I was expecting there to be a line-up out the door but maybe eastenders like to live the healthy lifestyle. Me? I wanted to suck back some grease! yum!
The guy at the counter was super friendly and asked us (and those that followed) if they've ever eaten there before. He explained and showed us the fresh raw beef (no thanks! i don't like cow flesh but i sure do love the cheese they make!). He also showed us "the option" = veggie burger. It's as described in other reviews: two portabello burgers with cheese smothered in between and panko breading on the outside. it's then deep-fried. He also let us know that their fries aren't fried with any meat.
They only take cash here so my husband and I ran over to the LCBO and got some beers & cash. Praise the burger heavens for the a/c in there for keeping our holy beverages cold.
The burger was so good that I think I only chewed once and inhaled the rest. It's somewhere lodged in my esophagus right now. Beware cheese burns! They can squirt out and cause some facial damage (this has happened with a pizza pop to me. it creates an unsightly wound).
The burger bun reminded me of mcdonald's. that's not a bad thing. i have good childhood memories of eating that shit. The fries too reminded me of mcdonald's fries except thinner and a tiny bit more soggier but it's the burgers you go for anway!
Seriously, man, get down to the burger priest and praise the heaven's for a decent burger joint in the east!
