| - We are on the hunt for the BEST BURGER in Toronto! Stop #2: The Burgernator
For stop #2 I differed to the expertise of Google and Yelp's combined reviewing power to see what Torontonians on mass think is the best burger bite in the city. At the top of the list comes the Burgernator. (8.7/10)
When I imagine how the decor decisions were made for this space I get the feeling that a couple of college guys came together after a game of COD and thought up the most manly establishment that they could muster; black walls, war and weapon related food names, and a kitchen in the back that doesn't pretend to be fancy. No complaints here.
To move to the food, when I placed my order and asked for "the best burger in Toronto" the cashier enthusiastically suggested the apparently award winning, life changing, and orgasm enducing "The Big Bang". (Admittedly that last part may be a little bit of personal colour language.)
The Big Bang is an all beef patty, topped with buffalo chicken strips, Canadian cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, with roasted garlic aioli. To be honest, before ordering I thought that this was the least interesting of their burgers, but hey, I differ to the staff's judgement. That was apparently a poor choice. Now don't get me wrong. The burger wasn't bad at all, but for what's supposedly the best burger in the city, someone got a little enthusiastic in their description, (and that's coming from me). The beef patty appeared to be of pretty solid quality, but it was lacking seasoning. The chicken strips were also present... they were nice and not much else. If it's not clear yet, I was disappointed.
In my then depression, I rallied back and ordered the Explosion: a deep fried Mars bar, served with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce. Cuz common, no one's gonna F around and not give me a deep fried Mars bar that instantly cheers me up... I was meagerly cheered, mostly due to the fact that I had to saw the Mars bar apart rather than gently free it from its breaded bonds. Who knows, maybe I was just bitter due to the preceeding affront.
On the bright side the Rocket Fries were frighteningly satisfying. This dish is like a play on poutine, featuring homemade jerk, beautifully fused with garlic & cheddar cheese sauces over homemade fries. The day was saved by these fries.
Anyway, please allow me to reiterate that as a regular burger place, The Burgernator is a great choice that I'd be happy to return to, but let's all come back to reality and recognise that this is no best burger in Toronto. #DontBelieveTheHype
