I was in Toronto on business and was headed into downtown with a few co-workers. SUPER hungry after my flight and needed something awesome to satisfy my hunger. A co-worker was in downtown already and scoping out for places to chow down. She found a hole in the wall joint called Big Smoke Burger; it reminded her of a similar burger joint back home (The Nook in St Paul, MN).
We walked in and got immediately slammed with the aroma of grilled burgers and deep fried fries; already amazed and salivating!!! This location is SUPER small, has seating for about 15 people and parking is AWFUL and EXPENSIVE; but appeared to be work the trouble.
The menu is straight forward, order a burger, fries or onion rings and a bev to wash it all down. I went with the Crazy Burger, onion rings and a black cherry soda from Boylan Bottling Company.
Here's what comes on the Crazy Burger: jalapeno havrati, cole slaw, chipotle mayo, bbq sauce, hot peppers and lettuce. That alone should make you order it. I love spicy food and this burger certainly hit the spot. Somehow, everything blends together and the cole slaw simply completes the burger; it's the ingridient that keeps everything cool (get it?!?!).
This place is a hole in the wall, the label for napkins is literally a torn up piece of paper with "napkins" hand written on it and taped to the wall. I love places like this and will for sure go back when I get a chance.
