| - Being as I was going to visit my sister in law on the weekend just down the street was Stupidburger and I hadn't had lunch yet. I've been seeing this place for a while and I had wanted to try it out.
Stupid burger is located in a strip mall near the southern part on the west side of Weston Road between Major Mac and Rutherford road. It's kind of small and could be a little hard to find.
I had trouble deciding what to order. The menu is really diverse and you get a choice of what kind of meat between Angus beef, lamb and another I didn't quite get but didn't need to necessarily hear. They also had a deluxe menu which included some things such as lobster and Kobe beef. Now while I didn't ask I know that technically the term "Kobe beef" is almost in all likelihood not true. The term is often interchanged with Wagyu beef because Kobe beef is not really available in north America. I didn't ask but like I said it's almost zero chance they actually got their Kobe beef from Japan.
It didn't really matter as I was going to get something different. I had wanted to try something I hadn't had before, anywhere else and the reason was that the menu at Stupidburger is so intriguing it makes me want to try everything although that's simply not possible on a single trip that is...
So I went completely unconventional and when I say unconventional I mean my burger actually DID NOT have bacon. That's right I went out on a limb here going all risque and such. I had ordered the Maradonna which I'm guessing is in reference to Diego himself the legend which only has to be referred to by his last name.
I had also ordered a classic poutine which I was sort of surprised to find that there was chopped green onion in but I didn't mind at all.
The burger is described as, "Brie cheese, chimichurri aioli, sauted onions and lettuce. Now I could have added more of the complimentary toppings but I didn't want to stray away from the boxed dedication to one of soccer's greats.
The bun was a fresh brioche. It was so fresh I honestly thought they baked it in the back. It's nice to get a bun that's fresh. You can have the best meat in the world but if you serve it on a stale bun you've lost a lot of cred...
The meat was really different. It's not huge, but it's cooked properly but still juicy. The taste is really good. It tastes like a real beef patty, not some frozen form of what once was beef grinded into something tasteless. This burger's got flavor and it's not afraid to show it off...
I was expecting a tang from the chimichurri aioli, it wasn't overpowering and neither were the onions but they added a nice compliment. The lettuce from what I could guess was Boston Bibb, a leafy green, not some frozen cheap chopped head lettuce.
It's obvious that Stupidburger uses quality ingredients in putting together their burgers. This place is not pumping out grease, but the contrary. They actually have and serve quality food... in the form of what would normally be referred to as fast food.
The fries to me weren't anything special. Perhaps it was because I had them in poutine form but I would have wished the poutine to have more flavor. It seemed rather bland but the portion was quite generous.
I ended up also ordering a chicken burger and a Nutella funnel cake to go as I was going to bring some food back to my sister in law's house. The Nutella funnel cake was pretty good but it seemed bunched up together because the entire thing was served in a small paper plate and covered again. It came with a side of soft serve ice cream which was nice.
Overall the experience at Stupidburger was positive. I'd love to try more of the menu when I get a chance and being that I go to Woodbridge pretty often the chances are more than good I'll be back.
