| - I was in Montreal for business and thought I'd pop out for a pizza. Couldn't find a place in the area that fit my mood, and became a little frustrated. While walking through a parking lot a saw a small crown and some benches so I checked it out. Parking lot burgers? C'mon now I said to myself. That's crazy talk. Then the guy behind the counter asked if I'd ever been. "No", I says to the guy. He hands me a menu. The prices scared me off a little, but hey, since I couldn't find pizza what did I have to lose? I ordered a 1/2 pounder with fries, and hoped to hell I didn't have buyer's remorse over a parking lot burger. A couple who was also getting a bite said that the burgers here sell for something like $50 in the restaurant that is attached to this little parking lot storefront. Pondering this, I went back to my hotel.
Once inside, I realized I'd missed the Jays scoring 4 runs and I cursed. This burger better make up for what I missed. The first thing I noticed was the smell. The bun, complete with a branded steer on the top, was garlic buttered and lightly toasted. The burger itself was moist and tasty. I had another bite and suddenly didn't care if I took a breath, as long as I got more of this delicious burger. Wanting to look forward to more of it, I turned my attention to the fresh cut fries. Man, they were fried in clean oil and lightly sea slated. The paper bag they came in was also a nice touch, especially considering where I purchased this meal. Now back to the burger....bite after bite, with the words, "Goddamn!" being uttered, I finished it off. I was now wearing some of the burger juices but I didn't care. I'd have to do laundry anyway. The important thing was that I'd discovered a hidden gem in a parking lot in Montreal I will definitely be back.
