| - Voodoo burger & onion rings, yum!
It seems that everyday there's a new "gourmet" burger place popping up in Toronto and being a burger lover I don't mind trying them all.
Great Burger Kitchen does make a great burger. Overall it was an enjoyable burger experience. The food was good, prices were reasonable ($12 something for a quality burger & onion rings), and service was friendly.
Their patty was seasoned well, though maybe a bit too well if your a purist and just like meat, salt & pepper. I tasted a slight garlic/onion flavor in the patty which I didn't mind. And the patty had the texture of real meat (not a lot of filler), and was a decent size patty.
I got the voodoo burger w onion rings. The voodoo burger was topped with salsa, spicy mayo, guacamole, balsamic onions & lettuce. Overall it tasted good, not sure all the ingredients were necessary as some items overwhelmed others but it was enjoyable and I ate it all. The salsa was a bit runny so I'd probably omit that next time because it made the whole thing really messy to eat.
The onion rings were well prepared, not too greasy, well seasoned, and the onion didn't just pull out when you bite into it.
The one thing that did bug me about this place is I used to work at Gourmet Burger Kitchen in the UK, also called GBK and the design of the menu is almost identical to the old UK GBK menu (I think they've since changed it), though the menu items are different. If they are trying to mimic UK GBK I have no complaint but wish they'd bring over some of the good burgers like the avocado bacon, or aubergine & goat cheese and some of their signature sauces.
