| - Last week, my manager and I were having a conversation. He had mentioned bison. I indicated that when I was living in Winnipeg, MTS had some cool commercials with talking bison characters.
I then thought about having a bison burger. Yes, it's not the best transition, but I ended up craving one.
My boss didn't help. He started looking up where I could get a bison burger. Most are within Toronto. Wild Burger appeared in his search. It said that I was 34 minutes away from my home by car.
Last Saturday, I did some outlet shopping in Ajax, and then drove over to Wild Burger for a late lunch at 3 pm. The restaurant is a part of a large plaza with Landmark Cinema and a sports complex.
There is plenty of parking. I parked and went into the restaurant. It feels Canadian with all the wood. Even the server was eating a red black lumberjack shirt.
The left side of the restaurant lists the types of game burgers you can have on the chalkboards. There is a lot of choice, including ostrich and camel burgers! I got to choose where I wanted to sit.
I still had a hankering for a bison burger. I ordered the chipotle bison burger, which came with small chunks of pineapple and red pepper salsa. I normally don't like warm pineapple, but this salsa was awesome!
The burger is on the pricy side at $15. I ordered a side of duck fat garlic fries for $7. I am not a huge fries person, but these fries were delicious. Duck fat rules! The garlic didn't hit me at first, probably because the bison burger was so flavourful. However, half an hour after my meal, I could taste it! No complains. No vampires.
The server was friendly and helpful. She told me that they had run out of elk and chili. When I am back there, I will try the scotch egg (my all-time favourite pub item) and the chili.
The dessert looked good. Sadly, my stomach didn't have room for it. Next time!
