Burgasm Tour 2011

See All Lists
I'm on a quest to obtain knee-shaking burger ecstacy, and here's what I've discovered thus far.

 1. Five Guys Burgers and Fries

7600 Weston Rd
Vaughan, ON L4L 8B7
(905) 856-7007

Category: Burgers

5.0 star rating
  10/2/2011

I'm so glad this chain opened up in Canada.

After trying Five Guys (sounds so shady) at the DC airport last year, I've been looking forward to seeing if it could stay consistent with the burgasm attack that rocked the airport that one fine afternoon.

Alright, I'll admit it. I'm a whore for hamburgers.
With that in mind, I checked out Stockyards, as one of the first eateries in my attempt to explore the city.

When my girlfriend and I walked in, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a tad crowded…More »

Yes, another burger joint review. Don't like it? Go read some hot dog reviews.

So, I stumbled upon this place one burger-jonesing afternoon, though I still swear the sign read "Super Burger" and not "Burger Super", but maybe I'm going senile at my…More »

This B-town 'landmark' has been held close to my heart since I was a little burger-hungry kid, but I'll try to write a neutral review, now that I'm a grown burger-hungry man.

It must be noted that in terms of dining, Brampton mainly sucks the big one.…More »

In my quest to not only find the GTA's greatest burgasm-inducing slice of ex-moocow, but to satisfy my ravenous appetite last night, I made a discovery.
After driving around and found most BBQ and burger dealers closed, the one sure thing told me…More »

In my ongoing quest to complete "Burgasm 2011", next stop was South St. Burger Co. Could it compete with the toe-tingling likes of Stockyards, Super Burger and others?

First of all, great location. I was in the mood to people watch, and this was…More »

I hate to give such a high star rating to a chain restaurant, but 3 things to consider:

-I'm rating this with typical chain restaurants in mind
-I had a great experience here
-I'm a little ticked at the crappy rating the other review has, and the whack…More »

Quests can be tricky...especially when you're being flung all over the place, you never know where you're going to end up. Such as the case with my 2011 quest to obtain maximum burgasm delight. Thought I'd forgotten about it? On the contrary...just…More »

Tucked away in the ever-so-ghetto plaza of Rambler Drive is Quickie's. To be fair, it has been a little bit since I've been there, so I can't say with total confidence that it's still there, what with all the crazy changes that plaza has had over the…More »

I don't mind saying, I like A&W a lot. I think their menu is solid, and a certain amount of care is put into their meals, even if it is fast food. However, this particular location has given me problems more than once. Maybe it's the fact that it's…More »

While I'm on a franchise-binge lately, I suppose I'll review my go-to Harvey's.

In terms of fast food, I think Harvey's serves one of the best burgers out there. I don't think I've ever been served one that wasn't totally plump and juicy, and they're…More »

The most recent city of Burgasm Hunt 2011 is Mississauga. Initially I had planned on paying a visit to Original Gangster Burgers, only to discover the O.G. face down and lights out, with a "For Lease" sign on the door. Alas poor O.G, we hardly knew…More »

While celebrating the day of 3 decades of Dave, my family opted for Swiss Chalet. Their County Court location is close to where they live, and you really can't go wrong with SC.

This location seemed a little more spacious compared to other locations…More »

Met up with a friend for a patio hangout. Not really knowing that area, the location was really easy to find, and the patio was really spacious and relaxing. I wasn't planning on eating much, but the waitress was pretty persuasive.

Not really thinking about Burgasm 2011, I popped into Castle for a bite to eat. I had noticed it in B-town for quite some time, but I hadn't had a chance to go inside.

This place is probably the most confused place I've ever been to.

For one thing, the…More »

Sandwiched amongst a chorus line of eateries in the Queen/Torbram area is Wimpy's Diner. I've been there a few times, and depending on when you go, the experience can vary.

Service has always been up and down for me. There was a time when I was the…More »

Since I've begun my Burgasm tour, I've had a few people recommend Licks to me, as an apparent Fast Food Frontrunner for ecstacy on a bun goodness, so I finally got to check them out.

The place is standard fast food territory. Clean interior, polite…More »

While I'm not quite sure what the tomatoes find so funny, hitting up this place has been on my agenda for a year or 2 now. Feels good to finally ketchup.

Located at the corner of Queen and Kennedy, Giggling Tomatoes puts itself in dangerous territory.…More »
