Here's my confession: I moved to Toronto in July of 2010. Prior to my visit to the Burger's Priest, it had been nearly 9 months since I have eaten a decent burger in Toronto -- and believe me, I've tried plenty of them. I was beginning to give up…More »

Best burger in Toronto! (And for $15, it very well should be.) It's juicy and drippy with meaty goodness, topped with cheese and sauce. Maybe a skosh too much sauce for me, but it was still a motherlovin' fine burger. The bun was rich and buttery,…More »

The place is bright and all sparkly-new. The people there are super-friendly and nice. All smiles and hellos, and the service is spot-on. However, it's a shame that the burger is so... meh. I had the Signature Burger, which had a 6oz burger with…More »

Following a disappointing burger at Craft, I decided to hit GBC a couple of days later to see if it was any better. It was only marginally so. The patty was good, juicy and definitely had that nice crisp crusty outside that the Craft Burger was…More »

A burger like this makes the baby Jesus cry. Given the fawning reviews of this place, I was really looking forward to a good, juicy burger. I ordered a meal that pulled out all the caloric stops: a cheeseburger, poutine, and a chocolate shake. While…More »

Did you ever watch The Price is Right? Do you remember those horns they used to play when someone lost a game?

http://www.hark.com/cl...

That's what they should play when you take a bite into the burger I had at BQM. I had the Stem (fried egg and…More »

Usually parked in front of the Astronomy and Astrophysics buildings at the University of Toronto, it's hard to not notice this giant blue truck. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries from the super nice, mustachioed guys inside. They listened to…More »
