My Decemburger journey/Mon voyage de décemburgère

See All Lists
Can I handle 22 burger spots in one month? As Decemburger bears upon me, I set myself up to sample what may be the best (or worst) burgers of my life.

 1. Hero Certified Burger

100 Wellington Street
Toronto, ON M5J
(416) 642-1395

Category: Burgers

Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/17/2009

I went back to Hero Burger on Wednesday and feel that after having Craft, Burger Bar and Gourmet Burger, it just doesn't measure up. It's still good but not burgasm worthy. Service was still good though so it only loses 2 stars for me.

Based on Lindsey S's review of the poutine, I went back to get an order. I was NOT disappointed! The poutine was so ooey gooey good. I was shovelling it into my mouth so quickly on the train up to Yorkdale that the couple across from me gave me a…More »

I went here a couple weeks ago, hoping W Burger Bar could redeem itself in my eyes. This time, I chose to dine in with some friends.

I loved their lemonade. It was the perfect combo of sour and sweet. My friends and I anxiously awaited our food. The…More »

Since there are so many great reviews on this place and I'm half asleep, I'm gonna (try to) keep this one short and sweet.

My friend and I sat down at OMB yesterday to enjoy the gorgeous weather and delicious burger. When we got there, we ordered and found a table outside. We sat and chit chatted and in too shakes of a cow's tail, we had our food. I opened the container…More »

After riding low from the disappointment of Original Motorcycle Burger, I decided to dine in at my next stop, Gourmet Burger Co. I sprint limped* from my work and steeled against the cold. I felt relieved when I walked up the tiny stairs to the…More »

Yelp ratings system gives the suggestion for 1 star as "Eek! Me thinks not." Darn tootin right I think not with Lick's!

Stopped by here for drive thru recently. First off, the person taking our order seemed annoyed with us, as if we had made her go…More »

Recently updated lists from Nicole B.

Man, I feel like a Woman! (11)

Every female should have a place (or two) that makes her feel good about herself, both inside and out. As Shakira would say, release your inner She-Wolf! These places not only make me feel good about myself but slightly empowered. Now, if only I could get that dang Shakira song out of my head!

Virgin Territory (23)

You always remember your first...unless it involved alcohol

Places I would send R**** from high school (15)

R**** was my sworn enemy from grades 11 to OAC. I would send her to these places because they suck and because I went to an all-girls school so I totally know about revenge and stuff.

Cold as Ice! (16)

The places I like that blast the AC

My Comfort Zones (11)

These are places that make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. I venture here often.

Washington, DC (9)

The places I visited on my last trip

Sush-sush-sushi-ooooo! (8)

My best and worst

Sugar Coma (5)

Desserts so good, I wouldn't share with my mom.

Thunderstorms? Pshaw! (6)

I believe thunderstorms should only be enjoyed from the comfort of my bed. But if I did go out, it would only be to these places.

Cut-eye and Steups (3)

I'm judgmental when it comes to my own culture's food!
