Don't judge me for getting a burger and tots at 6:45am. I was so excited to see a Wahlburgers location at the Toronto Airport on the F concourse of Terminal 1 at Gate F67 that I could not help myself.
The decor of the restaurant is very modern and ... well ... very green. The word art on the ceiling and the communal tables that dominated the center of the restaurant must make for an active scene when the concourse is busy. Early in the morning, however, things were pretty quiet.
I was glad it was slow because it gave my server, Gail, a chance to be absolutely amazing. She guided me through the menu - eventually convincing me that the OFD was the way to go. I am glad she did.
The OFD is a mushroom swiss burger, but it was so much more than that. A flaky, buttery bun with a juicy, but a little salty beef patty. There were plenty of mushrooms, but if I had one complaint it was that the cheese slice was a little small.
Gail suggested the tater tots and rewarded my decision to order them with a small cup of Wahl sauce to dip them in. Wahl sauce is a ketchup mayo combo that is charged with smoky and slightly spicy goodness.
Check out Wahlburgers when you are at Pearson - it is worth it.
