| - Arguably the best burgers in the city, undoubtedly the best shakes.
I heard Holy Chuck was started by someone who used to cook at Auberge du Pommier, and it shows with the creativity of the burgers. I especially love the Village Bahahastard (lamb burger with a big slab of saganaki cheese), the Cowlorie (burger woth grilled cheese; they do the grilled cheese part especially well since the "buns" almost melt into your burger), and of course the classic Holy Chuck (simple and straightforward, allows you to really taste the quality of the beef). My wife has tried the Holy Duck - while really pricey, she swears by it if you love foie gras.
But where Holy Chuck truly differentiates itself from all the other burger places are with its shake. Sinfully thick, divinely rich - whether you go for a straightforward Chocolate or try Grandma's Apple Pie, the flavours strongly come through. My favourites are the Nutella + Peanut Butter, or if you want something more unusual try the Bacon + Fudge + Sea Salt (the shake will have bacon bits in it, so interesting mix of sweet and salty tastes... which works!).
One last tip: If you want the best Holy Chuck experience, go to the one near St Clair. The other locations, while good, just don't meet it's level of awesomeness.
