| - We are on the hunt for the BEST BURGER in Toronto! Stop #8: The P&L Burger
If you're familiar with widely entertaining internet cooking shows, you're familiar with Matty Matheson. This is why I was excited as a school girl to try out his burger joint, The P&L burger. It's an admittedly oddly shaped restaurant, as it's pretty cramped width wise, but rather long. Bring yourself, and maybe 2 other friends, because seating is minimal.
This time around I kept it simple and just got a burger. The cashier's suggestion for the bests they had to offer was a burger called The P&L. Before diving into the burger description, I feel compelled to say that they forgot about my group's order, then after being reminded of it, forgot about mine specifically. They're nice guys, and I'm sure it was just a mix up, but hey, I was a bit miffed.
The P&L isn't a flashy looking burger. It's served on a sesame seed bun, with a beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, dill pickle mayo, and bacon-onion jam. The sesame bun was perfectly fine, but it showed that it wasn't made in-house, (plus you could see the bags of buns in the back). I also expected something a little special in the patty, considering the burger was ostensibly designed by high profile chef. Instead I got a pretty regular patty, which again, is perfectly fine. What I enjoyed quite a bit was that bacon-onion jam. Despite being a jam, it isn't all that sweet, and its flavour hints at a Jamaican influence. It was definitely the most interesting part of the burger, and gave it a little bit of that special quality.
I'd say The P&L can be summed up as "perfectly fine". Nothing was at all bad, and it was tasty. That being said, I was little disappointed considering that we're on the hunt for the BEST BURGER, and I trusted Matty to do me right. Look out for the final rankings in our last stop on the hunt; The Works.
