Nice bloody caesar and a great many cocktails worth trying!

The Special of the week: Two grill cheese sandwiches the beef and whatever else you want on it!

Pretty good burgers for NDG, but still many kinks to work out - serves is pretty slow, the burgers are good but not outstanding - if it lasts, it needs to mature!

Burger Royal

I tend to stay away from too much red meat, but when the itch for meat I always drift to my Burger Royal... This instalment had caramelized onions and red peppers, garlic spread, lots of cheddar cheese, bacon, Tomatoes and lettuce and a fried egg!

Messy goodness. Even S. enjoyed after she unhinged her jaw!

Burger Bar - 2014

The Burger Bar on Cresent St. in Montreal, QC get burgers! The hangover burger; yes the behemoth stuffed with poutine, bacon, egg, beef and cheese was outstanding. A small coma ensues, but well worth the investment.

Original Fast Food Restaurants

The first Pizza Hut was opened in 1958 by brothers Dan and Frank Carney in their hometown of Wichita, Kansas. The two knew they wanted to have “Pizza” in their new establishment’s name, but didn’t decide on “Hut” until they discovered the building’s sign only had room for nine letters and that the structure itself looked like a hut. In 1986, the original hut was moved to the campus of Wichita State University—the Carney brothers' alma mater—where it is used by the International Business Student Association as a meeting place.

Originally called Insta-Burger, the first Burger King was founded by Keith J. Kramer and his wife’s uncle-in-law Matthew Burns in Jacksonville, Florida. With the help of their “Insta-Broilers”— ovens capable of cooking 400 burgers per hour—the two went on to open multiple Insta-Burger restaurants and become a franchise. In 1959, Kramer and Burns sold the company to Insta-Burger franchisees James McLamore and David R. Edgerton, who changed the name to Burger King. A place called Stan’s Sandwich now operates out of the original location.

Forever in Pursuit - 2013

Occasionally I go to visit a friend simply named Bossfry for a soiree of fine wines and delicious foods; this past session we decided to make poutine and burgers - a man's delight! 

However, we wanted it to be a bit different yet professional, so...

We made fresh onion rings with a bit of club soda, flour and bread crumbs - fried at 365. These little beauties would top our burgers.

Inside the patties we put capers, dijon, garlic, thai red curry, one egg, bread crumbs, cumin and S&P

We made a sweet / white potato mix for our poutine topped with shavings of parmesan cheese and a quick chicken based gravy.

The Boss manning the hot oil.

Simple yet totally outstanding taste, with the cheese, the sweet from the sweet potatoes and the rich hot gravy - yum time!

The burgers were stacked high, with tomatoes, lettuce, onion rings, a spicy chutney, and the usual burger toppings as per the taste of the individual.

We discovered the optimal fry to be at 365 degrees - these fries were double fried, so 1st fry was at 325 degrees, then blasted for crunch at 365. Excellent fry or as the Boss refers, "the perfect fry"...

Nice Night!

Crystal Burgers [2012]

Burgers and beers go so well together, like shaved ice and lemonade. This burger was served at a fancier type spot in Montreal, Qc. What I liked about it was everything was big; the meat was thick, the bacon was plentiful, the cheese sharp and creamy, the bun glazed, with thick tomatoes and bunchfuls of lettuce - slam it together and Bam! Burgers and Beer, Yum!
