| - Yelp CM Kris U. of the Greater Toronto Area loves his fresh, quality homemade hamburgers.
So, what a clever idea for Kris U. to start the year 2014 w/ a monthly CMYE Burger Brigade for Yelpers to try amazing burgers at different burger joints throughout the GTA. Hubby & I were fortunate to attend the 6th meeting of the Burger Brigade, held on 6/11/14, w/ GTA Yelpers for a sensory burger overload at Main St. Burger Shoppe in Stouffville (the "f" is silent) in Ontario, Canada. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=tVgsO0-8uT3ZFbsDgDgfOw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=aoaKjaa_0mLpYGTBHMi6QQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=fIcaad4iKveqVx4JPL-SXQ
The Main St. Burger Shoppe offers a choice of up to 4 fresh homemade hamburger patties (each is 4 oz.) grilled to order in a toasted sesame-seed loaded hamburger bun. They also have their signature burgers: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=otq-yx36lbYQLZcPyateuA
- The Canadian - 1 patty, 2 bacon strips, 2 slices peameal bacon (boneless pork loin rolled in cornmeal & originating in Toronto), cheddar cheese, 100% Canadian maple syrup.
- The Smokestack - 2 smoked patties, 2 bacon strips, 2 slices smoked cheese.
- The Hangover - 2 patties, 2 bacon strips, 2 slices cheddar cheese, fried egg, sautéed onions.
- The D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival) Burger - 3 patties, 3 slices cheese, 3 bacon strips, pulled pork.
All orders come w/ free non-meat toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, relish, olive relish, red onion, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms, hot peppers, jalapeno peppers) & free sauces (mustard, ketchup, mayo, honey mustard, Dijon mustard, BBQ sauce, hot sauc ). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=SIP418_SB0xeoSKatBL oA
Hubby & I had:
- The Canadian. Added lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers. So delicious & juicy, including the stellar toasted bun that was loaded w/ sesame seeds. A thick & filling burger, the freshness of the beef couldn't be beat & loved it w/ the bacon & the sweetness of the maple syrup.
- Regular Burger - 2 patties w/ free toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, relish, olive relish, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms) & sauces (honey mustard, ketchup, mayo). This was of the finest quality of freshness, juiciness, & full of flavor! Couldn't believe how thick the burger sandwich was. As I had requested most of the toppings/sauces, it was quite messy to eat, but not complaining, as it was too good to be true. Amazing! (also wished I had the appetite to try the Smokest ck.) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=ITRVJ89TgCAEF-AC_ 4P2g
Yelpers paid for their own burgers & CM Kris U. paid for the drinks & sides for all of us (thank you, Kris, very much appreciate!). We sh red: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=jiAvg8r_g4EbY5Xfb xARQ
- French Fries - freshly made & crispy; locally sourced from nearby Simpson Produce farm. Not bad at all.
- Poutine - French fries topped w/ cheese curds & gravy, originating in Quebec. A Canadian specialty that is filling & a meal by itself.
- Potato Chips - fresh, thinly cut, lightly salted, & served warm right out of the fryer. So tasty, crunchy, & out of this world! We all fell in love with this!
- Bottled Dad's root beer & a green lime soda. Both were refreshing! They also had other bottled flavors, as well as canned soda.
Opened in Aug 2013, the Main St. Burger Shoppe is family run by 2 brothers, John & Dewey, who love their burgers & previously owned a pizza business for 13 years. Located behind a pub & next to a car wash in the small town of Whitchurch-Stouffville of 38,000 residents - 31 miles north of downtown Toronto & surrounded by scenic rolling green hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine. I love these Main Streets of these small towns where you find quaint shops that you can't resist going nto! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/main-street-burger-shoppe-whitchurch-stouffville?select=WKbMDG9TFSz55fDCB 5QfA
This small burger joint is attractive & clean, w/ a few tables (check out that cool buffed silver top one) & window counter tables that can seat 18 total.
Many thanks to Kris U. & fellow GTA Yelpers for their warm hospitality & introducing hubby & me to Main St. Burger Shoppe in Stouffville! Will definitely return if we're in town! Something we can't get back at home.
Note: Kudos to Kris U. for being a great CM for GTA in rounding up Yelpers to drive long distances to attend Yelp events! This area comprises the outlying suburbs of Toronto proper, & encompasses 2,751 sq miles w/ a population of about 5.5 mil; whereas, Oahu encompasses 297 sq miles w/ a population of 953,000. Demographics are surely different.
