This has been my first review in quite some time.  Not that I've stopped eating out, but just nothing really exciting to review.  I've been a big fan of Chicago deep dish pizza after learning about this type of pizza from the travel channel, and trying to locate an establishment in Toronto that serves this type of pizza.  The first time I've tried it was at UNO in New York and it wasn't as good as it looked on television, then I've heard about this place from Redflagdeal's food forum.  This is my second time going to this place, but the first time really didn't count since they are not opened on mondays.  Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera with me today and had no pictures, but I still decided to give it a review, while its fresh in my head.

This place is really on the outskirts of the GTA and just very close to Canada's wonderland.  The location is pretty good, and looks like lots of regular customers that would goto this place and get delivery.  This place is family friendly, and the staff is very nice when I went on a sunday evening.  They have a very small seating area, about 20 people inside and maybe another 15 on the patio.  Once I stepped in I already knew I wasn't going to be as hungry as I thought I would be because there was no air conditioning on the inside and it was quite windy outside.

The menu is quite good and there is lots of selection and everything is laid out pretty good and easy to navigate and making decisions seem very easy.  I went there for their deep dish pizza so I ordered the Classic which had, sausage, mushroom, green peppers and onions.  All their deep dish pizza are cut into 8 slices, and will take 30 mins to be ready.  In the mean time, we ordered some potatoes wedges with cheese and mayo.  They were fried to a crisp, with lots of cheese and mayo on top, but there wasn't anything special about this dish.  Its missing the pop, or that extra something to make it better, it tasted very plain to the point just like eating potatoes.  I didn't want to fill myself up with that and there was a quarter of the plate left of the wedges.

I had quite an expectation from this place, although I haven't had a deep dish pizza from Chicago, but was thinking it would be as good as New York's UNO.  If your looking for photos, all the pizza's I've seen them serve are actually the same looking as the one on the website.  When it was brought to our table, the waitress served us a slice and noticed that the sauce wasn't very thick, and just fell off the pizza, but there was still lots on it.  There was mini tomato chunks and parsley on top, very home made and watery looking.  When I cut it with my knife I was expecting the cheese to ooze out of the pizza, unfortunately it didn't do that, and I was very disappointed.  Then when cutting down to the bottom, I was expecting a crispy crust and again I was disappointed.  At this point, I didn't even put the pizza into my mouth.  When it went in, it wasn't as good as I would of liked.  I liked the UNO's deep dish from New York much better, and even Papa Johns much better.  After eating 2 slices, it didn't stimulate my taste buds enough, and my appetite was diminishing from the heat and humidity.  I don't like wasting food as I took the rest home.

I've had the chance to use their restroom this time.  I would like to say that its not the cleanist, but it doesn't smell, and all the toiletry was filled up.  For a very small place I would say that is pretty good.  As I left they were very friendly the owner and waitress looked happy and greeted us good bye.  My overall impression of the food wasn't the greatest and I don't think I will go back.  I was originally going to eat there yesterday but was glad I didn't since I was bring a couple of my friends with me.

I would give this place 1/5

Restaurant Review: Little India Restaurant

Little Indian Restaurant
255 Queen St W
Toronto, Ontario
www.littleindia.ca

I've walked down Queen St W many, many times and it seems to be just filled with restaurants of many ethnicity.  As I approached this restaurant there is actually another Indian restaurant attached to this one and another one 2 stores down on the same side of the street.  I've decided on going to this place because of the stickers from Toronto magazines, and things I've read about it.  This will actually be my second time to this buffet and had a pleasant experience the first time around.


Photo: Statue at the top of the stairs
As I walked into the restaurant I was greeted and didn't have to wait long for a saturday afternoon around 2pm for a seat.  The lower level seating area was packed and discovered they have an upstairs.  There are many things such as paintings and status which trys to give you the feel of india.  I am not sure how authentic it is, but it works for me.


Photo: Food at Buffet
The place is very clean and tidy.  But as you walk towards the buffet area, the food doesn't really look that appetizing. The food they serve comes in variety of different colors.  From my photo you can just see how you cannot see what type of food is hiding under the sauces, so its good to be adventurous.  As they say never judge a book by its cover, the food is actually pretty good.  Me and my friend agreed that the food was better at a different place, but for $11 for a buffet the food is good. 


Photo: Plate of various Items from Buffet
I had a variety of food.  The butter chicken could of been much better and expected it to be a staple at all Indian restaurants, so that was a little disappointing. There are many other various types of chicken such as tandoori, and this other crispy chicken which was very good.  The meat was tender and wasn't very spicy which is perfect for me.  So for all those wanting very spicy items, I don't think this is a place to go.  The Samosa could of been fresher, and wasn't one of the better items.  The Naan always came out fresh and was very thin and crispy.


Photo: Inside Restaurant

Overall it was a good meal. You get what you pay for. Of the 3 Indian restaurants along the same area, this seem to be the most popular one, and the only one with customers on a Saturday afternoon. Service was good, and restaurant was clean. The selection of the food was average compared to the variety you would get from a Chinese or Japanese buffet, but before you enter the store, there is a huge sign listing the number of items but it can be misleading. Also refreshing to see Indian people eating at this restaurant.

I would Rate this place 2/5. Nothing stellar, but its not that bad. Great for a cheap buffet.

Restaurant Review: Messini Authentic Gyros

Messini Authentic Gyros
445 Danforth Ave.
Toronto, ON M4K 1P2
www.messini.ca

I've been wanting to goto Messini for a very long time and take some pictures at this place.  I've been going to this restaurant for many years and the food quality and service has been really consistent.  Out of maybe 50 times, I remember one instance my food wasn't so great.  During the taste of the danforth they are one of the places with the longest line ups.  As I was on their website, they go through the history of what Gyros is and have pretty extensive website about how Messini came to be, but one fact I did not know was that they were open till 4am on friday and saturday night to serve the younger crowd after their late night out.  This place has been reviewed by many places and always come out as one of the best Gyros place in Toronto which I strongly agree with.


Photo: Chicken Gyros

I've had almost everything on the menu, but their most standout item is their gyros.  It is different from many places I've eaten it, and which is the addition of fries inside the Gyros.  The chicken is my favourite but it does come with other variation such as lamb and pork.  They are never cheap with the toppings and everything is always fresh.  One minor thing that I would like to mention is the way they wrap it, as the juice from the toppings do fall out, please becareful as you make your way to the bottom, but they do wrap the gyros pretty well, and much better than many places where I forgot about the sauce dripping through the foil and onto my clothes.  After each bit into the Gyros, its like an addiction and you just want to take another bit.  The combination with the fries with the chicken makes it outstanding.


Photo: Spanakopita (Spinach Pie)

Today me and my buddy decided to get something new for an appetizer.  We went through the list and saw that I've never had Spanakopita (Spinach Pie).  When that arrived it came with Pita.  The Spinach Pie was very good.  It was crispy out the outside and had cheese and spinach on the inside.  As you bit into it, it was soft and crispy but it didn't fall apart.  The only thing that would of made it better was if it was freshly made and straight from the oven to my plate.  We originally thought it would just be a single piece but it does come with 2.  I did enjoy this very much.  The Pita was hot and toasty from the grill and was served with and olive dip.


Photo: Greek Salad

My friend got the Chicken Souvlaki single stick with rice, it also comes with a Greek Salad.  These meals come in big portion, and my friend offered me half his salad.  Messini Greek Salad is composed of cucumbers, onions, olives, cheese, green peppers and tomatoes topped off with an oil.  I remember the first time I had it and thought it was weird, a salad with cucumbers, but I'm glad I tried it and since then became a fan of it.  The taste is exactly the same as when I first tried it, very crunchy and fresh.  This dish seems very home made and doesn't have a fast food feel to it.


Photo: Chicken Souvlaki

Althought I didn't have the Souvlaki, My friend commented that when he was having the skewers the chicken is very tender.  Lots of flavour on the inside and not dried.  He was very impressed with it and it was grilled to perfection.

I guess this review was a little different from my other reviews.  Didn't start with an appetizer,  and seems like all over the place.  Service is good, they have lots of staff but they are pretty busy.  The place is not big like Jack Asstors but can sit maybe 50 people.  Take out is very popular and you see people walk in and out all the time.  Everytime I went, during dinner time, I've always needed to wait for a table.  The washroom is decent but you do have to make a trek downstairs to the basement of the store, personally I do not like washrooms that are located to an area where it seems where only staff attends to.  One of the things I learnt early was that I was pronoucing Gyros wrong, its more like E-row.  The food is great here, they pride themselves on freshness it seems, and from the crowds that march in and out, you can tell this is a very successful restaurant.  Almost everyone I took to Messini came out loving it and wanted to bring their friends there as well.  The price is also not expensive at all.  Usually 2 Gyros, Fries, Salad only would cost $14 with taxes and gratuities.  As my dinner today costed around $32 which included one pop.

I would give this place 4/5
Would Give a perfect 5/5 if washrooms was located in a different place and if it had a larger seating area

Restaurant Review: Guu Izakaya - Toronto

398 Church St
Toronto, ON
(416) 977-0999

 www.guu-izakaya.com

I've been hearing about this place called Guu for a few months now.  After seeing a review from foodpr0n and the Toronto Star it seems like one of the hottest restaurants in the Toronto area right now.  How popular? Well, to ensure me getting in the restaurant, I waited 20 mins before the restaurant opened at 5.  After reading numerous post on redflagdeals and other food forums, alot of people waited over 2 hrs to eat at this place.  Is it worth the wait? You will have to find out for your self.  The restaurant is not in the fanciest corner of the downtown core area, and many people walk by looking at this place, and as the night progressed, the line up even gets longer.  When I left at 6:30 there was about 40-60 people waiting outside not in very warm weather.  If your waiting along the outside, they do have 2 heat lamps to keep you warm in the winter time.  Everyone that seems to goto this place seems like their early 20s to mid 30s and majority of them are asian.


Photo: Chef Cooking

As you enter the restaurant, the whole staff greets you in japanese.  And everyone working in this establishment is japanese.  They all have self created name tags which was very unique.  The place is not very big and there are only very few small tables.  You can eat at the bar area and the chef will be preping and cooking the food in front of you.  The restaurant had a very good atmosphere and the staff was always smiling and good spirited even though it was super busy.  They had a special menu and a regular menu which had quite a few selections of items.


Photo: Regular Menu

First we decided to order Kurage - which was a marinated jellyfish and vermicelli.  It is one of my favourite dishes regularly at a chinese restaurant and wanted to see how their version pair up against it.  The jellyfish was fresh and had a crispy/crunchy feel which I liked, but I think it lacked flavour, which I am use to. Next came the Assorted Oden which is like hot pot.  This dish is accompanied by japanese mustard.  Unfortunately I didn't get to try the mustard.  This dish is very plain and simple.  I thought there would be some type of soup based left but there wasn't much left.  Never had a Taro Jelly and it seems to be very plain, just like the remainder of the items here.


Photo: Assorted Oden

During the night market, I tried Takoyaki and didn't really like the taste of it.  Then I saw on the travel channel how great it can be.  So I thought since this time, since I'm in an authentic japanese restaurant it must taste much better.  And I did not regret on this.  It was very tasty and very soft.  The sauce wasn't too tangy and was the perfect bite size.  I thought it would make for a perfect snack.


Photo: Takoyaki

Next came the Kinoko Cheese Bibimbap.  It came with a stone pot like you would get from a Korean Restaurant.  As it arrived, the cheese smell so good, and it was mixed immediately.  So I wasn't able to get a picture of it before it wasn't scrambled.  The mushroom was a good mix with the sauce.  When I took the first bite of it, I wasn't very impressed, but after a few more bites, I enjoyed it more and more, and found the garlic and cheese mix to my liking.

Then came my favourite dish of the night.  Introducing the Kakimayo.  Its grilled oyster with spinach, garlic mayo and cheese on top. yummm.... looking at my photos while writing this blog is making me hungry and I just finished dinner not too long ago.  I love the mixture of Spinanch and cheese, and inside there are tiny chunks of potatoes.  The Oyster was cooked to perfection.  If only they served this at an all you can eat buffet.


Photo: Kakimayo



 My Friend has been telling me to try the Brie Cheese.  Again, they have cheese in another one of their dishes.  This time, they take the cheese and put batter around it, and lightly fry it.  As you bite into this cheese heaven it just melts and flows out of the crust which is not over fried.  I found all the dishes I ate was not over cooked.  I was pretty full at the time, and couldn't eat any more due to having a really late lunch and my body not use to eating at 5pm.


Photo: Brie Cheese

My least favourite dish of the night had to be the salmon natto yukke.  The concept at first I thought was pretty cool.  Where you have salmon mixed with 7 other sides (cold dish) and then you wrap it in seaweed.  I had 3 wraps, and the raw egg mixture I didn't really like. 

I couldn't wait for dessert.  No matter how full I am, I can always eat ice cream.  Usually at buffets I eat green tea ice cream, or they have red bean or mango.  Well at Guu, they had black sesame flavoured ice cream.  Once eating it, it was very normal, nothing too special except it made my teeth all black.  At the same time,  I ordered the banana tempura for dessert which was really good.  My girlfriend commented that it could of been fried a little bit more, but I liked how it was presented, and the coconut ice cream was a good addition to it.


Photo: Black Sesame Ice Cream

After nine tapas for 2, I was stuffed.  We were warned that there is a 2 hr seating limit due to the huge demand right now for this place.  The total with tip and 2 teas came to $75.  This place was much more filling than when I went to Torito Tapas Bar on saturday night, and cost much less.  I would most definitely go back to Guu to try their other dishes and revisit my favourite, but maybe around my usual dinner time at 8, and without the 2 hr wait.  It looks like they will have a patio in the summer but don't take my word on it.  The washroom was decent and had mouth waste and toothpick for you to use.  Service was good, and as we left the restaurant the whole staff yelled some phrase in japanese.  I would only give this place 4/5 because I had to wait super long.  I can see why this place is pretty hyped up and I think it lives up to it.  Not all the dishes was to my liking, but the good ones exceeded my expectations and worth my rating of 4/5.

Restaurant Review: Banjara Indian Cuisine

Banjara Indian Cuisine
796 Bloor St.W
Toronto, On
M6G 1L7
Ph: 416 963 9360

http://www.torontobanjara.com/

After reading a thread about great indian cuisine this was the place everyone pointed to. Although it is quite far from where I live, I made the trek down for dinner. The restaurant is walkable distance from Christie station, and they do have limited parking which I was able to get. As I was pulling into the parking lot I notice the number of people standing at the bar waiting for a table, and as I entered the establishment, we were greeted right away and asked to wait for about 10 mins for a table for 2. I say it took about 20 mins to wait, as more and more people came in, and alot of them was to pick up their take out. This was promising because many places around the neighborhood at the time was dead and had no customers. There was a huge mix of people eating at this place, and alot of them caucasian.


Photo: Inside Restaurant

The restaurant didn't have very nice decor, and my friend pointed out that it looked like a travel agency above the cashier. They still had their christmas lights out, and the place is very small. From the picture above there was one more table beside me, and you can see how small the place is. Inside was not very well lit, and my pictures might look a bit dark as the christmas lights on the window gave it a glow.


Photo: Meat Samosa

We started off with a meat samosa as an appetizer and it came with this crispy chip item that was a little salty. I wanted to try their Sweet Lassi which on the menu described it as a yogurt type drink. The Samosa was well portioned and had little pieces of meat inside it. The crust wasn't too oily but very crispy. When we bit into it, the food wasn't really hot in temperature and was not very spicy. The Lassi was good, not something I drink very regularly, but nothing very spectacular. It was a good start to the meal.

The table we sat at was very small, and they put 3 very small table very close together to fit 3 groups of 2 people. So it wasn't very spacious and we didn't have much privacy, but the people beside us (stuck in the middle) was very nice, and saw me with a camera, and said this place is great, and they live across the street. They loved every item on the menu, and that they try many dishes and never has been disappointed.


Photo: Butter Chicken Combo Platter

Then came the main course. I decided to get the Butter Chicken combo platter which included, cauliflower, potatoes, peas, butter and rice. There was 2 items I don't remember the name of and do not know of the item's name. The food came out very quickly, before I finished my Samosa, and made it difficult to place all the food around the table. I asked for my food to be mild, as I am not a big fan of spicy food. This was a good level of spice for me when I started eating my meal. The food wasn't hot again, and I am starting to wonder if they premade these food that everyone orders and just heat it up. Also the meal came with a Naan, which was good, and to my liking. It was soft and crispy and that was the only hot item I received that I can remember all night. All the items were good on the combo, and gave me a good chance to try alot of their food at once.

By the end of the meal, I was quite full. Dinner for 2, which included the lassi, 2 combos, samosa and a beer came to $50 with tip. And the crowd didn't dissipate and there was still a large number of people waiting for a seat. I didn't get a chance to visit the washroom, so I cannot give my review of that. The dishes and glasses were clean, and the service was good. They came by twice during my 50 min meal to refill the water. The watiresses took your orders via a handheld device which I don't see quite often, and if you wanted to conduct a business meeting there I believe they have wifi, because I found a hotspot with the name of the restaurant. Overall I would come back to this restaurant, and would like to try their other dishes. My friend also commented he has been to another restaurant which is better, so I'm really interested about that place as well.

I give this place 3/5

Restaurant Review: Chino Locos - Burritos with an Asian Twist

Chino Locos
4 Greenwood Ave,
Toronto, ON M4L 2P4
http://chinolocos.com/

After reviewing Burrito Boyz many RFD comments said that Chino Locos had really great burritos and I was very eager to try this place. I saw that they have a new location opened up in the downtown area, but I headed over to the original location. There isn't much parking as it is at the corner of Greenwood and Queen St. It was very easy to find, and if you take the subway, there is a bus stop right in front of the store. When I first drove by the store, I was looking for a lit up sign, but as I walked out of my car towards the establishment, I realized it was just a banner and really cheap looking sign. Once I opened the door, the bottom handled was taped up, and the door doesn't close properly, or close at all automatically. The store is really small, and what you see in the picture is the space of the place. There are 3 bar stools and one chair for anyone waiting. This place to me is mainly focused on take out.


Photo: Store Size

First thing I enter this take out place, I turn my head upwards looking for their menu. After looking for a few seconds, the employee their knew we were first timers. The menu was just placed on the counter and had only a few selection. I picked the pull pork burrito, and my girl friend picked the steak burrito. You get your regular choice of white or whole wheat wrap, and then they asked if you wanted chow main or rice, then realized that was their special ingredient which we chose. I really cannot take anything spicy, so I always go for very mild flavor burritos.


Photo: Off Da Hook Burrito

It took about 5 mins for the burrito to get assembled then it was put into a grill to toast the wrap. The only other burrito place I've been to recently is Burrito Boyz and I will use that to compare my experiences. I prefer that the wrap be a bit more toasty just like Burrito Boyz. It was surly a new experience of having chow main in my burrito, but didn't really fuse to my liking. I come from a chinese background and did not really like it. Didn't really taste the guacamole and sour cream. On my pull pork the meat was very tender and had lots of flavor, but I cannot tell, but something was giving it a taste I did not like, and think its coming from the chow main. The portion was good, and was most definitely full from eating this meal. Price is avg as, 2 burritos came to around $14. Space was limited so, I wasn't able to eat within the store.


Photo: Asian Fusion Burrito

My experience wasnt that great overall. I would rate this place 2/5. I think the concept is very unique, and can see why people like this, but personally its not something for me. The staff was very nice, and the inside gave a very homey feeling, like it was a neighborhood favorite. I'm sure you would be full from eating this, and at the time I arrived there was alot of people buying taking or picking up their orders.

Check out the rest of the gallery here. Sorry for the poor pictures but there was very little lighting and the burritos are taken in my car, and I didn't bring my flash with me last night

Restaurant Review: Burrito Boyz

218 Adelaide Street West
Toronto, ON M5H1W7
(647) 439-4065

Looking for a great burrito downtown? Well this place is surely one of the most popular burrito joints in that area.  I haven't had many burritos from many stores but I can appreicate the product they serve at this location and their 2nd downtown location.  They consistantly have a large crowd, and if you are planning to go for lunch during the weekdays, I do recommend you line up outside the store around 11:30 to avoid a long line up.  So this is not a place if your in a rush, or I wouldn't even classify this place as fast food.


Photo: Menu

They have a good assortment of burritos.  I haven't been to mexico but do they have these types of burritos?  In my next photo, I got a small burrito and it comes out to $6.75.  The price is average, and for the budget eater I wouldn't say it would be a good deal.  I never got a large so I can't really tell you how much bigger it is.  The smaller is around 6 inches long.  The girl who assembled my burrito was new, but all the staff was upbeat and very friendly although there was a  ton of people waiting for their food around 6pm.  I can tell from the toppings that they do cut them at the store, and not just opened from some package.  It looked fresh as I looked over the glass window and very juicy.


Photo: Juicy Chicken Burrito

So after the assembly line, they take your burrito and grill the soft shell.  They really do stuff the burrito with alot of toppings.  The fusion of the toppings I chose was excellent and they don't go cheap on the chicken.  So every bit I had there would be meat and cheese.  I was feeling a bit under the weather, but yet I can still taste and smell my food.


Photo: All Wrapped Up

If your ever in the area, give this place a try. Don't expect alot of seating as there is only about 8-10 seats available. This place has been praised by many toronto publications, and they have a whole wall dedicated to all awards and all the times they have been in the press. Everyone I know that has been there has come out a happy customer.

I would rate this place 4/5

Portland Blazers wins!

Photo: Raptors vs Blazers Tip off

Tonight went to my last raptor game for the regular season. I been to 3 games this time and I was excited. I loved this team for 2 season straight and finally get to see how good my favourite basketball player is. Brandon Roy didn't disappoint. The game was at moments very awkward due to the Canada vs Russia hockey game. It was very distracting at moments where the fans would cheer and the players would have no clue. It was a easy game for the blazers and Raptors do not have a very good offense without Bosh. I was very fortunate to pick up these good seats, and then decided there was a row of empty seats in a few rows in front of ours, so we headed down there. There is a big difference and now wondering how the courtside seats are like. Click here to check out my whole set.

Restaurant Review: Gourmet Burger Company

Gourmet Burger Co
482 Parliament Street
Toronto, ON
M4X 1P2

www.thegourmetburgerco.com

This is the most hyped up and one of the most well rated burger joints within the GTA.  They have 2 locations right now in the downtown area and is going to have another location soon near the Yonge and  Eglinton area.  This is actually my second visit to this place, but I went to the Charles St Location instead of the Parliment location.  I actually love eating burgers and had alot of them and this one rates one of my favourties, but not the best burger I've had.  I think these new burger joints that are considered gourmet burger are becoming fairly popular.  In other publications I've read, they mentioned other places but I haven't a chance to try those places out.


Photo: Store Front

If you visit their website, you can find out what they serve and the price of their burgers.  Also, you can find all the reviews that has been posted about that restaurant. First off, the prices are not cheap compared to Burger King and McDonalds.  I would say you would need about $10 for a combo, which includes either fries, sweet potatoe fries or onion rings, with either a pop or bottle of water.  My bill came out to $20 for the works combo, with a mushroom melt burger.  As you walk in you will see that the store isn't really big, and the length of the front counter is basically the length of the store, and imagine that length going out the other way like a square.  There is only seating for about 8-10 people, and I did read and noticed that alot of people eat at this location.  Overall the service is very good.  The decor is fairly modern with a very simple layout.


Photo: The Works Burger

Now onto the food.  Off the top of my head their main competitors is South Street Burger, Hero Burger and Craft Burger.  I would rate Gourmet Burger above their competitors.  I ordered the works since I love cheese and bacon.  When I first bit into this burger, I can taste the freshly grilled burger, just like the taste of something coming off the bbq.  The bun was not overly toasted and had the right amount of softeness still in tack.  The Lettuce and Tomatoes was fresh and the cheese melted into my mouth.  Usually the bacon doesn't taste that well in burgers (or at least the ones I've had recently), this one was different, it was very crispy and tasted very nice.  The burger came with sweet potato fries and they were just fried enough, and not burnt.  My girl friend pointed out that perhaps the fries can but cut a bit thicker, but most sweet potato fries I've seen has been cut like shoe strings.  While I had the the works, she got the Mushroom Melt Burger which looks amazing,  When she opened the wrapper, you can see that the burger was juicy and had lots of mushroom with sauce.  I cannot really comment on that burger but she said it was an excellent burger, but not the best she had either.


Photo: Mushroom Melt Burger

Overall, I had a very positive experience at this place.  Good thing I went around 1:30 pm today and was able to get a seat and enjoy the burger inside.  I would say in downtown Toronto, the value was average to pricey for a burger combo.  If there was one closer to me, I would most definitely visit this place more frequent.  You can see that this store is growing in popularity and there seem to be a demand.  They also have a sign which promotes the company being green and they started using biodegradable packaging.  This place I believe lives up to the hype and all the praises it gets from local media in Toronto.  If you love burgers be sure to check out this place.  The only place I would consider better is T-bones out in Scarborough, and Shake Shack in New York

4/5
